Rockwell PLC Training

The United States Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify qualified contractors to provide classroom training on Rockwell ControlLogix systems for personnel stationed at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The government seeks sources demonstrating expertise in industrial control systems, specifically Rockwell/Allen-Bradley platforms, with proven experience delivering technical training to government or commercial customers. Key qualifications include certified instructors, access to training facilities equipped with Studio 5000 Logix Designer software and hands-on equipment, curriculum development and customization capabilities, and documented experience delivering control systems training within the past five years. Evaluation will assess instructor qualifications and certifications, facility and equipment availability, curriculum development capabilities, past performance on similar contracts, established pricing structures, instructor assignment practices, alignment of commercial and government terms, and quality assurance policies. Interested contractors must submit responses by 11:00 AM EST on April 8, 2026, via email to Claudette Macneil (claudette.macneil@us.af.mil) or Crystal Wainwright (crystal.wainwright.2@us.af.mil), with responses limited to 10 MB per email in readable electronic format.

This pre-solicitation notice includes no small business set-aside designation, though small business responses will be thoroughly analyzed to determine final contracting strategy. No incumbent contractor is identified in the available documentation. The contract structure will be established as an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) arrangement with a sixty-month continuous ordering period, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the materials provided. The government requires training delivery for nine specialized courses, including five ControlLogix Studio 5000 Logix Designer courses at varying proficiency levels, two PowerFlex 750-Series power control courses, one Factory Talk View ME and PanelView Plus visualization course, and one EtherNet/IP configuration course, with class sizes between five and twelve students and a maximum of 56 students per course annually. Service delivery timelines require training scheduling within 14 days of task order award and completion within 90 days of award, with supporting documentation including course syllabi due five days prior to training start dates and electronic certificates required within 48 hours of course completion. Joint ventures and teaming arrangements are encouraged, particularly for small businesses unable to independently fulfill all capability requirements.
