LVD Strippit Preventative Maintenance and Emergency Services

The Department of the Army is seeking a contractor to provide preventative maintenance and emergency repair services for four LVD Strippit machines located at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD). The machines include two Turret Punch presses (models V20-1225 and V30-1525) requiring semi-annual maintenance and two Laser Cutters (model 4020) requiring annual maintenance. The contractor must supply all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, and supervision to perform scheduled maintenance and respond to service calls. For non-emergency service calls, response times are set at 2 days on weekdays and 3 days after weekends/holidays, with emergency repairs requiring response within 2 business days. While this is currently a sources sought notice and not a formal solicitation, the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) indicates the government's intent to procure comprehensive maintenance services for these critical metalworking machines.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, and the contract will be open to all qualified vendors in the Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance sector (NAICS 811310). Work will be performed in Building 1C3 at TYAD in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, with maintenance activities including detailed technical requirements such as resonator checks, optical path alignment, lubrication, and fire suppression system inspections. The government will provide replacement coolants, oils, and fluids for the maintenance activities. The sources sought notice was posted on February 27, 2025, with a response deadline of March 5, 2025, suggesting an upcoming formal solicitation for these maintenance services. Potential contractors should carefully review the draft PWS and prepare to demonstrate their capability to meet the technical and response time requirements for maintaining these specialized metalworking machines.
