About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) is seeking market research and sources for an industrial open pocket laundry washing machine replacement at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Alaska. The 673d Contracting Squadron is conducting a Sources Sought notice to identify potential vendors capable of providing a new industrial washer, including removal of the existing equipment and complete installation with necessary plumbing modifications. Interested companies are requested to submit electronic responses by May 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM Alaska Daylight Time, providing detailed information about their capabilities, business size, technical qualifications, and compliance with specifications. The evaluation will focus on companies' ability to meet precise technical requirements, including electrical specifications, mechanical capabilities, and installation readiness. This Request for Information (RFI) is strictly for market research purposes and does not guarantee a contract award.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific small business set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor is mentioned in the documentation. The proposed industrial washer must meet extensive technical specifications, including a 500 lb maximum load capacity, 590 RPM maximum speed, and 75 cubic feet cylinder volume, with specific requirements for electrical power (220-240V, 3-phase), water inlet, and steam hook-up. Installation will require specialized equipment, including a forklift capable of lifting 18,000-22,000 lbs. While no specific budget range is provided, the complexity of the equipment and installation suggests a significant capital investment. The contract will be categorized under NAICS code 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC code 3510 (Laundry and Dry Cleaning Equipment), targeting vendors with specialized industrial laundry equipment expertise.
