Industrial Controls Upgrade

The United States Marine Corps Depot Maintenance Command is procuring an industrial controls upgrade for government-owned blast and paint process control cabinets at their Albany, Georgia facility. This modernization project involves replacing obsolete industrial control components with new Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), specifically Allen Bradley CompactLogix 5069-L306ER units, along with digital and analog input/output cards, cabinet climate control systems, and associated programming across 13 control cabinets. The upgrades aim to enhance interoperability and standardization with the facility's SCADA system while maintaining existing panel enclosures and ensuring cabinet temperatures do not exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Proposals will be evaluated based on Technical, Price, and Past Performance factors with a Brand Name requirement. The government conducted a mandatory site visit on September 15, 2025, and the final proposal submission deadline is September 24, 2025, at 8:00 AM EST.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333310 for Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. The project represents Phase 1 of a multi-phase modernization initiative that must be completed within 140 calendar days, including a 14-day background check period for vendor personnel. The work involves upgrading control systems for seven different cabinet types, including Blast Booths 1-6, Paint Spray Booths, and Paint Drying Ovens, with a strict three-day replacement timeline required for each panel to minimize equipment downtime. Performance will take place at Building 2200 of the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Georgia. The solicitation requires vendors to replace hardware suites sequentially and install new climate control systems rated at either 6,800 or 14,300 BTU/hr depending on cabinet requirements.
