Machine specifications include abrasive jet cutting technology, advanced filtration and water-softening systems, automated Smart NC-100 programmable cutting controls with 5.7" HMI touchscreen, integrated bulk abrasive delivery system, and a high-pressure 60,000 PSI capability. The contractor must provide factory-backed warranty and support, overseas shipping packaging, IUID tag plate per MIL-STD-130x compliance, and freight to Tracy, California. Place of performance is Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. This sources sought is not a commitment to solicit or award; respondents should monitor sam.gov for future solicitation release.
