AMD 01- Ft. Huachuca Food Service Equipment Repairs and Preventive Maintenance Services

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is conducting market research for food service equipment repairs and preventive maintenance services at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The sources sought notice seeks to identify small businesses capable of performing comprehensive maintenance and repair services for kitchen equipment across multiple dining facilities, including the Weinstein Dining Facility, Thunderbird DFAC, and Black Tower Remote Site. Interested companies must submit a three-page response via SAM.gov, including a cover page with company details such as CAGE code, Unique Entity Identifier, years in business, and socio-economic status. The government requires contractors to use certified service technicians who can perform annual calibration, inspection, cleaning, parts replacement, and equipment installation/uninstallation according to manufacturer specifications. Responses are due by April 11, 2025, with the understanding that this is a market research initiative and not a formal solicitation.

The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses and will be classified under NAICS Code 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery equipment repair and maintenance. The anticipated procurement is a hybrid Time and Material and Cost contract with a performance period from May 2025 through April 2029, bridging a service gap until the Enhanced Army Global Logistics Enterprise (EAGLE) contract is awarded in December 2024. The equipment inventory includes over 80 items across two manufacturer categories: Thunderbird and Weinstein, ranging from coffee machines and ovens to specialized equipment like vegetable peelers and commercial dishwashers. Contractors will be expected to respond to service requests within 48 hours, operate during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM), and ensure compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. While no specific award value is mentioned, the comprehensive scope and four-year performance period suggest a significant potential contract opportunity for qualified small businesses.
