About this opportunity
The Air Force Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California, is seeking preventative maintenance and repair services for four Model Kardex Shuttle 500 Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) through this Request for Information (RFI). The 412TW LRS is conducting market research to determine acquisition strategy and identify potential contractors capable of providing commercial maintenance services in accordance with manufacturer specifications and industrial standards. Key requirements include submitting a Preventative Maintenance Inspection plan within 15 days of contract award, conducting semi-annual and annual preventative inspections, responding to service calls within 4 hours during normal duty hours, and providing an "Over and Above" work request process for repairs beyond standard maintenance. Interested parties must submit capability statements detailing their experience on similar government or commercial contracts, business size designation, CAGE code/DUNS number, and relevant contract references. Responses are due by July 18, 2025, must be submitted in Microsoft Word format, limited to two double-spaced pages, and will not be proprietary or classified.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice. The contract structure includes provisions for trip charges, hourly service call rates, and a tiered approval process for additional work, with requests under $2,500 requiring Project Manager approval and those over $2,500 needing Contracting Officer authorization. The maintenance services will be performed on four specific VLM units located at Edwards Air Force Base, with contractors required to comply with Air Force safety standards, base security regulations, and environmental requirements. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as this is a sources sought synopsis designed to gather market information rather than solicit formal proposals. The timeline emphasizes rapid response capabilities with the 4-hour service call requirement during normal duty hours being a critical performance standard.
