About this opportunity
The Department of the Army, through Tobyhanna Army Depot, is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources capable of providing robotic wire harness manufacturing solutions. The procurement seeks one Prototype/Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) robotic wire harness manufacturing machine and one Full Rate Production machine, along with comprehensive documentation, operating software, and engineering services. Potential contractors must demonstrate expertise and capabilities under NAICS code 333998 and PSC 4330 to perform at the prime contractor level. This RFI is issued solely for market research and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation; responses will be used to help the Government further define its requirements and will not be evaluated as proposals. Interested parties must submit their responses electronically to Steven J. Burke at steven.j.burke.civ@army.mil with a copy to Deborah Belak at deborah.belak.civ@army.mil no later than 4:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, February 12, 2026, with questions regarding the RFI also directed to Mr. Burke at the same email address.
This RFI carries no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractors or current award values are identified in the announcement. The LRIP machine specifications require dimensions of 2.3m length by 2.2m depth by 2.3m height with a 2,000 kg weight capacity, while the Full Rate Production machine is substantially larger at 5.2m by 3.0m by 3.1m with a 6,000 kg weight capacity. Both machines must support identical robotic capabilities including power and data wire disposition, multiple termination types, and protection applications, with the LRIP machine requiring single-phase 240V electrical input at 32A maximum and the Full Rate Production machine requiring three-phase 400V at 32A maximum. Required deliverables include operators manuals, maintenance documentation, installation guides, training materials, CAD/CAM compatible software with post-processor support, and comprehensive engineering services including operator training, advanced production training, application engineering support, and end effector development assistance. The Government reserves the right to conduct follow-up communications with RFI respondents on a one-on-one basis for clarification purposes and intends no binding commitment or award based on responses received.
