About this opportunity
Air Education and Training Command seeks procurement of one (1) Vertical Tilt-Frame Band Saw, Hydraulic, Fully-Featured, with proposals due July 9, 2026. This is a Total Small Business set-aside (NAICS 333517, size standard 500 employees).
Place of performance is Luke Air Force Base, Arizona (14185 Falcon Street, Luke AFB, AZ 85309). Delivery is required 90 calendar days from award, FOB Government Destination, on a firm fixed-price basis. The offered equipment must be a semi-automatic, manual version meeting or exceeding all minimum salient characteristics; the Government will not accept "or equal" machines and requires exact specifications as listed.
Core salient characteristics include a miter-cutting frame tilting up to 60 degrees left and right of vertical with electronic touch-screen positioning, a saw head fixed at 3 degrees forward approach angle, an advanced blade guidance system with rotating carbide and ball bearing roller guides and self-tensioning design, and a 10-horsepower blade drive. Material handling requirements specify an 8,000-pound workload capacity, a full-stroking hydraulic main vise (9.5" high by 15" wide) with 60 faceplates and secondary vise, variable vise pressure control, powered chip conveyor, right-to-left work entry, laser alignment light, and flushing hose. The control system must include a programmable logic controller with 12-inch color touch-screen, hydraulically positioned and locked upper blade guide arm, and dual lubrication (flood coolant and selectable mist). Technical specifications include an 18 feet 2 inches by 1-1/2 inches by 0.050 inches blade, variable speed 30–650 feet per minute, feed force 0–350 pounds, and maximum blade tension 45,000 psi.
Contractor must provide installation, operator training, and one-year manufacturer's warranty covering labor and parts for defects in material or workmanship. Evaluation uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology: quotes are ranked by price, with the lowest-priced quote evaluated for technical acceptability against salient characteristics. Award goes to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. The Government notes funds are not presently available; no award will be made until funds are available, and quotes must remain firm through September 30, 2026.
