About this opportunity
The United States Air Force, through the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research for the procurement of Industrial Plant Equipment (IPE), specifically Flaring and Beading machines (manufacturer/part number 3CPV). This Request for Information (RFI) seeks vendor responses to inform the government's acquisition strategy prior to issuing a formal Request for Quote. Interested vendors must submit comprehensive responses addressing twelve detailed questions regarding their capabilities, production capacity, contract preferences, and relevant experience by February 19, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST. Responses are limited to five pages and must include company information, GSA contract numbers, socioeconomic status, capability descriptions, and related brochures or specification sheets. The government anticipates source selection will be determined following a competitive procurement process that will evaluate vendor quotes and technical acceptability. All inquiries and responses should be directed to Timothy Bass, Contracting Specialist, at timothy.bass@gsa.gov.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, making it available exclusively to small business concerns. PHI Hydraulics, Model 3CPV, has been identified as a known source for this equipment. The government intends to procure nine units of the Flaring and Beading machine for delivery to multiple CONUS and OCONUS locations, with specific technical specifications including variable spindle speeds of 300 to 1750 RPM, a 3 horsepower motor, pneumatic clamping capabilities, and accommodation of existing facility power of 220/600 volts at 3-phase, 50/60 Hz. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) and PSC code 3441 (Bending and Forming Machines). No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, and the government has emphasized this RFI does not constitute a commitment to award a contract or reimburse respondents for preparation costs.
