About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC) is seeking to procure an industrial-grade ultrasonic cleaner through the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal to support the cleaning, inspection, and maintenance of foreign weapons and vehicle parts for technical intelligence exploitation. The ultrasonic cleaner must meet specific technical requirements including a minimum interior tank size of 53" L x 10" W x 10" D to accommodate longer-barreled firearms and large machine gun receivers, operate on 120V power at 40 kHz frequency, and provide variable wattage capabilities from 600W for smaller components up to 2000W for larger assemblies. The equipment must include at least two mesh baskets, provide cleaning, rinsing, and lubrication capabilities, and come with a minimum one-year warranty. The government emphasizes that the equipment must be commercially available without proprietary restrictions that would limit competition or maintenance compatibility. Questions regarding the solicitation were due by 10 AM EST on August 27, 2025, with proposal submissions due by September 5, 2025.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333998 (All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing). The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or specific budget ranges for the procurement. Delivery is required within 10 weeks from the date of award to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, specifically to U.S. Army facilities at 6321 Rodman Road. The government has indicated through the Questions and Answers document that the system should feature dual-chamber capabilities and heating functions, with yearly resupply requirements for cleaning solutions and lubricants. The procurement aligns with standard ultrasonic cleaning power-to-volume ratios of approximately 20 watts per gallon for effective cleaning operations, supporting NGIC's mission to safely process complex weapon assemblies and small components without damage.
