Horizontal Machining Center with Single Table

The United States Marine Corps is procuring one Horizontal Machining Center with Single Table through solicitation M6700425Q0051, seeking a high-precision manufacturing machine with advanced specifications including a multi-position spindle with 3000 RPM speed, 80-tool capacity changer with CAT 50 style holders, and an NC rotary table with 3.6 million positions. The machining center must feature a large work envelope with 80" vertical Y-axis and 110" X-axis table travel, capable of handling workpieces up to 118" in diameter and 78" in height, with exceptional positioning accuracy ranging from 0.0005" to 0.0012" across different axes. Key requirements include comprehensive documentation, compatibility with MasterCAM 2025 software, and contractor responsibility for final installation including foundation design and civil plan approval by a licensed engineer. The contract will be awarded based on evaluation criteria including technical capability, price reasonableness, and past performance using a "Brand Name or Equal" procurement approach. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 23, 2025, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time at Marine Depot Maintenance Command in Barstow, California, with RSVPs required by July 11, 2025, and the final proposal submission deadline is August 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees, specifically targeting service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. No incumbent contractors or current award values are specified in the solicitation documents. The contract requires delivery of one horizontal machining center within 60 days after contract award, though questions and responses indicate the government expects delivery within 120 days, significantly shorter than typical vendor timelines of 16-18 months for such equipment. Performance will occur at the Marine Depot Maintenance Command in Barstow, California, where the machine will be installed in Warehouse 405 on a 12-inch thick foundation slab. The solicitation prohibits partial deliveries and requires quotes to include all line items, with rigging and installation costs incorporated into the proposal pricing.
