Test Cell Upgrade

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking contractors to upgrade test cell systems at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, through a comprehensive modification project involving five test cells (Test Cells 3, 4, 5, 13, and 14). The procurement involves replacing and upgrading multiple system components including data acquisition systems, pneumatic test console systems, valves, expansion joints, pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, power supplies, LED touch screen displays, cooling fans, and associated software and programming. Contractors must be capable of performing detailed design reviews including Preliminary, Intermediate, and Critical Design Reviews, and must provide comprehensive documentation, training for various technical personnel, and a 365-calendar day warranty on all equipment and workmanship. The solicitation will be evaluated primarily on price using a lowest-cost, technically acceptable approach with total evaluated price calculations. The proposal submission deadline is August 15, 2025, with site visits scheduled for July 8, 2025 (RSVP required by June 27) and an additional site visit on August 7, 2025 (RSVP required by August 1).

This opportunity is set aside for Total Small Business concerns under NAICS code 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees, though the solicitation document also references it as a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with an estimated delivery timeframe of 36 months after receipt of order, and includes a DO-C3 critical rating designation. The upgraded test cell systems must be capable of testing military aircraft components at 350 psig air pressures up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, supporting the Air Force's aircraft maintenance and overhaul operations. All work will be performed at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with contractors required to maintain System for Award Management registration and potentially obtain DD Form 2345 certification to access unclassified technical data and photographs of the existing test cells.
