About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is seeking quotations for a Quickset Gimbal, a high-precision optical instrument designed to support research and classroom projects involving hyperspectral, multispectral, and high-speed remote sensing instruments at the Air Force Institute of Technology. The procurement is being conducted as a commercial item acquisition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with award to result in a Firm Fixed Price contract. Key requirements include a minimum payload capacity of 1,200 pounds, 200-degree pan range, 180-degree tilt range, IP67 environmental rating, active stabilization capabilities, and communication interfaces including RS232/422/485 and Ethernet. The government will evaluate quotations based on the lowest price technically acceptable proposal, provided the price is determined to be fair and reasonable and the submission conforms to all requirements specified in the Statement of Work with a complete equipment description. The deadline for submitting questions regarding solicitation FA860126Q0001 was December 16, 2025, with quotations due by December 19, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST.
This is a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees, restricting competition to eligible small businesses. No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in the solicitation documents. The contract performance period is 16 weeks after contract award, reflecting the extended lead time required for manufacturing and delivery of the gimbal system. The vendor must deliver the gimbal to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, with full responsibility for transportation and on-site setup, and payment will be made at 100 percent upon completion on a net 30 basis through Wide Area Work Flow. The product will include a two-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship, with the option for an additional one-year warranty extension available at 15 percent of the order value.
