The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command's 22nd Contracting Squadron at McConnell Air Force Base is conducting market research through this Sources Sought announcement to identify qualified vendors capable of providing a Wardwell B10-24H Cable Braider Machine for the 22d Maintenance Group. The specialized equipment must meet detailed technical specifications including a tubular steel frame, 24 carriers, vertical operation, direct drive variable speed motor, and noise levels between 80-100 decibels, with the capability to braid cables, wires, and tubing in accordance with Technical Order 1-1A-14. This is strictly a market research initiative and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment by the government, with no pricing information requested from respondents. The primary objective is to determine if an adequate number of qualified contractors exist to fulfill this requirement as part of procurement planning. Responses to this Sources Sought are due no later than July 31, 2025, at 1000 CDT, and must be submitted to the designated contracting officers with the subject heading "FY25 Cable Braider."
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing), restricting participation to qualified small business entities. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the announcement. While no specific budget range or award value is disclosed, the Statement of Need indicates that the selected contractor will be required to deliver the cable braider within 180 days of purchase order receipt. The contractor must also provide a minimum six-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and workmanship for the specialized braiding equipment. The procurement involves a single unit of the Wardwell cable braider machine, representing a one-time equipment acquisition rather than ongoing services or multiple deliveries.
