About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center (Air Force Test Center) at Edwards Air Force Base is soliciting quotes for the procurement of one Shark Refrigerant Reclaimer, Model SHARK-230-134A (Part Number NSN 4250-01-658-3113), designed to recover, recycle, and remove contaminants from R-134a refrigerant used in Polyalphaolefin (PAO) Liquid Coolant Carts for F-22 aircraft maintenance. This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for commercial products issued under FAR Part 12, with solicitation number FA930226Q0026. The requirement includes two line items: the reclaimer unit itself and shipping, both classified under Product Service Code 4130. Authorized offerors must submit complete written quotes in PDF format via email by April 2, 2026, at 12:00 PM local time, with a maximum file size of 10MB; oral offers will not be accepted. The Air Force selected this brand-name equipment because it is the only unit certified by the Air-conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) to clean dirty R-134a refrigerant to the ARI 700 standard for reclaimed gas in a single pass, making it uniquely suited to the government's specialized maintenance requirements. Evaluation will be based on firm fixed pricing and compliance with all solicitation requirements, including Buy American compliance, item unique identification standards, and safeguarding of covered defense information.
This procurement is set aside 100% for small businesses, specifically Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), under NAICS code 333998 with a size standard of 700 employees. The current on-hand reclaimer equipment is obsolete and no longer available through the centrally managed supply chain, necessitating this new procurement; however, market research confirmed that multiple vendors can provide Shark refrigerant reclaimers, though the AFTC determined the SHARK-230-134A model is the required standard replacement. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price agreement with an estimated value under $10 million. Delivery is required within 120 calendar days from the award date to Edwards Air Force Base, California (DoDAAC F1S0AQ). Payment will be processed electronically through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7006, and the contract incorporates various FAR and DFARS clauses related to commercial product procurement, socioeconomic regulations, and labor requirements.
