About this opportunity
The Department of the Army's Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond, Kentucky is seeking preventative maintenance services for a Digital Radiographic Imaging (X-Ray) System used in the renovation of 105MM/155MM munitions rounds at Building 555. The services include regular preventive maintenance and on-call repair support to prevent production line downtime, with requirements for a live telephone help desk available 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time and on-site technical support within two hours of phone support. Technicians must be capable of working in restricted depot areas after passing background checks, maintain familiarity with BGAD's radiation safety program and 105MM recap process, and hold unescorted access to the depot's restricted area while adhering to OSHA regulations and Corps of Engineer safety manual requirements. The government has determined this to be a sole source procurement available only to VJ Technologies as the Original Equipment Manufacturer with proprietary knowledge of the system. The due date for this pre-solicitation notice is August 26, 2025, just two days after its posting date of August 24, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with VJ Technologies identified as both the incumbent contractor and sole qualified source for these highly specialized services. VJ Technologies was originally awarded contract W52P1J-12-P-3013 on March 30, 2012 under a 100% small business set-aside for the X-Ray system installation. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with one option year, covering labor, travel, per diem rates, and parts procurement for the maintenance services. The services are classified under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC code J066 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment - Instruments and Laboratory Equipment). While specific contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the critical nature of preventing munitions renovation line downtime emphasizes the operational importance of maintaining this specialized X-Ray inspection equipment.
Notice text
The Blue Grass Army Depot, Richmond, Kentucky, Maintenance/Demilitarization Division renovates 105MM/155MM rounds through the recap process at Building 555. One component of this renovation process is a requirement to perform Digital Radiographic Imaging (X-Ray) inspection of the processed rounds. To accomplish this, an X-Ray inspection system has been installed and integrated into the munitions renovation line at Building 555 in the Ammunition Restricted Area of the depot. This equipment must be operational to prevent renovation line down time, which would result in loss of production, and failure to support customer requirements. Support for regular preventive maintenance, as well as on call support for unscheduled maintenance and repair services, is required to ensure this equipment is available to support production.
The Government has determined that the X-ray Preventative Maintenance can only be provided from the original source, VJ Technologies (VJT), as this is a follow-on requirement for the continued provision of highly specialized services. The award of original X-Ray was 100% set-aside for small business. W52P1J-12-P-3013 was awarded to VJ Technologies, a Small Business, on 30 March 2012. As such, VJ Technologies is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the X-Ray system currently in use at BGAD. The Preventative Maintenance can be provided by the commercial marketplace, however, there is only one source that has the proprietary knowledge and ability to provide the necessary X-Ray Preventative Maintenance for this system.
