About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Tobyhanna Division, is conducting a sources sought notice to identify potential vendors for providing and installing a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Electric Press Brake at Tobyhanna Army Depot. The pre-solicitation notice seeks potential suppliers capable of delivering a turn-key solution including design, supply, delivery, installation, and training for a new press brake with specific technical requirements. Key specifications include a press brake with 60-70 US tons maximum tonnage and 80-85 inches bed length, featuring advanced capabilities like light curtains, a 6-axis 2-finger back-gauge, and RS-232 communication. Interested vendors must submit detailed business information including company name, address, point of contact, CAGE code, NAICS, business size, and SAM registration by February 24, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST. The notice emphasizes that this is strictly a market research effort and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of future contract award.
The sources sought notice does not include a specific set-aside designation and provides no indication of incumbent contractors or precise award value. The proposed project requires a comprehensive solution with a total performance period of 180 calendar days, including 60 calendar days for installation after equipment receipt. Vendors must be prepared to provide extensive documentation, conduct training for up to 5 operators and 3 maintenance personnel, and offer a one-year warranty with annual preventive maintenance. The press brake procurement includes significant cybersecurity requirements, with the system classified as an IT asset requiring Authority to Operate (ATO) approval. Contractors will also be responsible for disconnecting and relocating an existing press brake on-site, adding complexity to the project scope. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the detailed technical requirements suggest a sophisticated and potentially high-value procurement targeting specialized machine tool manufacturers.
