About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Test Center at Holloman Air Force Base is seeking potential suppliers for a specialized Bed Fixture Plate through a Sources Sought Notice. The procurement is for a massive cast iron T-slotted fixture plate measuring 6000x3000x300mm, weighing approximately 25,000 pounds, designed for controlling stresses in large welded manufacturing structures. Interested vendors must submit responses by January 3, 2025, at 1:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time, with required documentation including company information, SAM UEI number, technical specifications, and projected delivery timelines. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to provide a fixture plate with specific technical requirements, including internal ribbing for uniform static load distribution and multiple floor mounting feet. The technical evaluation will likely focus on the vendor's capability to meet precise manufacturing specifications, installation precision (within 280 microns of flatness), and ability to deliver and install the equipment at Building 1186 on Holloman Air Force Base.

The Sources Sought Notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this procurement, which suggests the opportunity is open to a broad range of contractors. The contract falls under NAICS code 333514 for Special Die and Tool, Die Set, Jig, and Fixture Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code of 3465 for Production Jigs, Fixtures, and Templates. The delivery timeline is 180 days after receipt of order (ARO), with installation scheduled within three weeks of receipt, and requires a comprehensive 12-month factory warranty covering shipping and installation damage. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the complexity and size of the fixture plate suggest a significant procurement value. The primary delivery location will be the 846 Test Squadron at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, with the fixture plate intended for use in advanced manufacturing and stress control processes for large welded structures.
