About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is soliciting quotes for a Fuels Flashpoint Tester to replace a 1963-era unit that poses significant safety risks, including a fire incident in December 2024. The new tester must comply with ASTM D56, D93, or D7236 standards and reach temperatures up to 370°C for fuel testing applications. The procurement will be conducted as a commercial item acquisition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under a Firm Fixed Price contract structure. Quotes will be evaluated on a lowest-price, technically acceptable basis, with technical evaluation focusing on compliance with the Statement of Work and complete equipment descriptions, while price evaluation will determine fair and reasonable pricing through market research. Questions regarding the solicitation are due by July 7, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, with quotes due by July 10, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, and offerors must maintain their pricing firm for 60 calendar days.
This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334513 with a size standard of 750 employees, and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation materials. The government requires delivery of one Fuels Flashpoint Tester within 4-6 weeks after receipt of order, with the specific contract value not disclosed in the solicitation notice. The equipment will be delivered to the 88th Logistics Readiness Squadron at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit quotes electronically to the designated Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer, with the government reserving the right to cancel the solicitation or make no award based on the quality of quotes received and price reasonableness determinations.
