Talyrond rotor stack measurement machine

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is soliciting quotes for one Talyrond 1520 PRO GEP Rotor Stack Measurement and Analysis Machine, a specialized precision measurement system designed to support rotor stacking, measurement, and alignment operations for F100-220 engines used in F-15 fighter aircraft. This is a firm fixed price commercial item acquisition under NAICS Code 334513 with a 750-employee size standard. Key contract requirements include submission of all quotes by February 27, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time to Tiwana Burdex (tiwana.burdex@us.af.mil), with all quotes remaining valid for a minimum of 90 days, and all offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award. The evaluation will be based on technical acceptability, lowest price, FOB Destination shipping terms, and item verification, with the lowest three quotes undergoing detailed evaluation. The equipment must be delivered within 60 days of award with FOB Destination terms, meaning all shipping costs must be incorporated into the total quoted price with no separate freight charges permitted, and payment terms are Net 30 through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) application following delivery and Government acceptance.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside and is based on a sole source justification, with Ametek/Taylor Hobson (CAGE Code 64790, large business) identified as the contractor. The estimated total contract value is $1,115,180, consisting of the Talyrond 1520 PRO GEP Rotor Stack Measurement and Analysis Machine at $1,112,380 and a PowerVar 1100 Power Condition System at $2,800. The sole source justification emphasizes that the Talyrond 1520 is the only available system capable of fully autonomous rotor stack measurement with significant operational advantages, including reduction of processing time from 30 minutes to 2 hours per disk to approximately 10 minutes per disk, and previous implementations achieved a 33 percent reduction in rotor stacking time. Place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (73145), where the 76 Propulsion Maintenance Ground will utilize the equipment, with estimated delivery in 16 to 20 weeks and on-site training provided for up to three personnel over three 8-hour days.
