About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for machine shop maintenance services across their research facilities. The procurement seeks a contractor to perform unscheduled repair and scheduled preventive maintenance for approximately 50 pieces of industrial machinery, including lathes, mills, air compressors, and other specialized shop equipment. Contractors must comply with manufacturer specifications, OSHA regulations, and environmental protection guidelines, with responsibilities including equipment testing, repair, and component replacements. The sources sought notice requires interested parties to submit detailed responses demonstrating their capabilities, including their business type, size classification, and past performance evidence. Responses are due by February 11, 2025, at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, with submissions to be emailed to Deneise Jackson at the provided contact information.

The opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category, though small businesses, including HUBZone, 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned, and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned businesses are strongly encouraged to participate. The contract will operate under NAICS code 811310 with a $12.5 million size standard, and will consist of one base year followed by two optional extension years. Performance will be located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, with contractors expected to provide factory-trained personnel having a minimum of three years of relevant experience. The maintenance services will cover equipment across multiple facility divisions, including Weapons Sciences-Sheppard and Terminal Effects-Francart, with contractors required to maintain a 24-hour response time and complete repairs within 2-5 days depending on parts availability. While no specific award value is mentioned, the comprehensive maintenance scope suggests a potentially significant contract opportunity for qualified service providers.
