About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command's 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base is seeking repair and maintenance services for a Union K-Solvent Dry Cleaning Machine (HL840-SS-K), commonly referred to as the "Red Rag Machine." The procurement specifically requires re-doing and insulating piping associated with the machine's Rite Temp RTR-803 chiller and Fulton FB-4 A boiler components, along with installing new condensate pumps and check valves. The government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract with a 60-day performance period and one-year warranty requirement. Evaluation will be based on technical capability to meet Performance Work Statement specifications and price comparison among submitted quotations and the government estimate. The solicitation has been amended multiple times, with the current response deadline of September 4, 2025 at 1:00 PM CDT, and quotes must remain valid through September 30, 2025. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 28, 2025 at 1000 CDT, requiring contractor notification by 1200 CDT on August 25, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 811412 (Appliance Repair and Maintenance) with a size standard of $19 million. No incumbent contractor information is provided, and the Red Rag Machine has reportedly been non-operational since its initial delivery and installation, with no available service or maintenance records. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement involves two line items covering parts and labor components. The work must be performed at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, during normal operating hours (Monday-Friday, 0730-1630 hours, excluding federal holidays) with planned service outages coordinated at least five workdays in advance. Importantly, the government has noted that funds are not currently available and reserves the right to cancel the solicitation before or after the closing date.
