About this opportunity
The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Fort Novosel, Alabama is conducting market research to procure sling load training blocks for helicopter operations at the 110th Aviation Brigade. The Department of the Army is seeking the manufacture and delivery of 15 concrete training blocks with varying weights: six 3,000 lb, three 10,000 lb, three 8,000 lb, and three 4,000 lb blocks. These blocks must be manufactured according to Natick Center drawing specifications and current Department of Defense standards, with detailed technical requirements including specific concrete composition, reinforcing steel specifications, and proof load testing. Interested parties must submit a 10-page capabilities statement addressing past performance, technical capabilities, and business profile to Contract Specialist Melissa Mayhall by February 24, 2025 at 1pm CST. The evaluation will consider the company's ability to meet technical specifications, past performance, and overall capabilities in concrete block manufacturing.
The contract opportunity is initially designated as a Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 327331 with a size standard of 500 employees. The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price agreement with a performance period from April 25, 2025 through August 25, 2025. Under a small business set-aside, the prime contractor must perform at least 50% of the work, though the government will consider responses from businesses of all sizes and may pursue either a set-aside or full and open competition based on market research results. The blocks must meet specific technical requirements, including 5,000 PSI minimum concrete strength, color-coding for different weight classes, and precise dimensional specifications for lift eye attachments and reinforcement. While no specific award value is mentioned, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the training blocks suggest a potentially significant contract for a qualified manufacturer with experience in producing specialized concrete infrastructure for military training purposes.
