One (1) five-axis laser machining center

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring one five-axis laser machining center through Firm Fixed Price contract RFQ SPE4A8-26-Q-0034 in accordance with FAR 13.5. The equipment will be delivered, installed, and operational at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, with the contractor responsible for shipping, installation, foundation preparation, rigging, training, technical data delivery, and provision of machinery software, remote access, and performance agreement packages. This procurement is being conducted as other than full and open competition under FAR 6.302-1, indicating only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. Award decisions will be based on a combination of lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA), past performance, and other evaluation factors as detailed in the forthcoming solicitation. The estimated solicitation issue date is May 13, 2026, with responses due by that same date, and interested contractors should monitor the DLA Intranet Bid Board System (DIBBS) at https://www.dibbs.dla.mil/RFQ for solicitation documents.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors or award value estimates. The contract requires completion of all performance obligations within 355 days after receipt of award, with FOB at destination pricing and inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination site. Quality assurance procedures under QAP 175a will apply throughout contract performance. The procurement involves a single unit of equipment rather than multiple quantities, and the contractor must provide an IUID tag as part of the deliverables. While specific budget information is not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the comprehensive nature of the deliverables—including installation, rigging, training, and multiple agreement packages—indicates a substantial equipment procurement requiring specialized technical expertise and full system integration capabilities.
