The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is soliciting quotations for seven overhead bridge crane systems with integrated hoists and control equipment. The procurement encompasses three contract line items: one 1-ton bridge crane system, one 2-ton bridge crane system, and one 2.5-ton bridge crane system with associated runway track components, all specified as Acco/Louden brand equipment with variable frequency drive motors, HBC-Radiomatic Micron 7 radio remote controls, and comprehensive technical documentation. Key requirements include compliance with ANSI MH27.1 and CMMA specifications, operation on existing 4-1/16 inch wide runway rails, yellow lead-free alkyd enamel paint finishes, and delivery within 40 weeks from award. The Government will evaluate quotations based on technical acceptability and price factors, with the contract being awarded to the responsible offeror whose quote is most advantageous to the Government. The solicitation deadline for quotations is March 23, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Standard Time, with submissions to be directed to Contracting Officer Anthony C. Dollard via email (preferred method) or traditional mail.

This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside solicitation with no identified incumbent contractors; market research identified four potential small business vendors (Advanced Overhead Crane, Flatiron Crane Operating Company LLC, Caplinger's Crane & Equipment Service Inc., and All-Lift Systems LLC), though previous GSA eBuy outreach generated no responses. The estimated contract value is approximately $876,225.26 on a Firm Fixed Price basis, encompassing three discrete equipment lots that collectively include seven overhead bridge cranes (ranging from 1-ton to 2.5-ton capacity), five ACCOlift chain hoists, and runway track system components. All work will be performed at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with inspection and acceptance occurring at both the contractor's facility and at Tinker AFB. Prospective vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be eligible for award consideration and must demonstrate technical capability to deliver the specified Acco/Louden equipment configurations with integrated control systems and radio remote operation capabilities.
