Fluid Cell Press

The U.S. Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is procuring annual preventive maintenance services for a Fluid Cell Press located at the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) in Texas. The contractor will provide one comprehensive preventive maintenance visit per year, performing detailed inspections and maintenance across multiple system areas including the press and tray station, hydraulic system, and electrical components. Key requirements include conducting operational tests, documenting system performance, providing field service reports, and supplying up to one service/maintenance kit per visit containing filters, gaskets, belts, and replacement parts. The contractor must comply with strict CCAD security regulations, complete Anti-Terrorism and OPSEC training, and provide a qualified field service engineer to perform maintenance according to original equipment manufacturer standards. Offers are due by 12:00 PM on August 19, 2025, with the contract structured as a base period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, plus two one-year option periods.

This solicitation operates under NAICS code 811310 with a size standard of $12.5 million and is set aside for small businesses, though documentation indicates this is being pursued as a sole source contract with Hartech Group LLC. Hartech Group serves as the sole and exclusive distributor for government contracts for Quintus Technologies, LLC, which is the original equipment manufacturer of the fluid cell press. The contract value has been redacted in available documents, but it will be funded through Operations & Maintenance Army and AWCF appropriations. The maintenance work will be performed onsite at the Jigs & Fixtures Shop at CCAD in Corpus Christi, Texas, with the contractor responsible for providing all necessary personnel, equipment, and materials. The contractor will provide a one-year warranty on all preventive maintenance work performed under the contract.
