About this opportunity
The Department of the Army National Guard is seeking to procure three 96-inch tow behind magnetic sweepers, specifically the MKS 5000-96" model from Shields Magnetics, to enhance Foreign Object Debris (FOD) removal capabilities at Volk Field Air National Guard Base in Wisconsin. These magnetic sweepers will be configured with pintle hooks to enable tandem towing, creating a triple magnetic sweeper configuration that will improve airfield safety and operational efficiency. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing) and follows a brand-name justification due to compatibility requirements with existing equipment. Award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer, though no contract award will occur until appropriated funds become available. All questions must be submitted via email by August 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM CDT, with quotations due August 19, 2025, at 1:00 PM CDT, and all submissions must be made electronically to the contracting office.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside under NAICS 333120 with a size standard of 1,250 employees, encouraging all qualified small businesses to submit quotations. The solicitation does not specify an estimated contract value, though it requires three individual magnetic sweeper units that will expand the base's fleet to four total sweepers and enable deployment of two dedicated sweeping crews simultaneously. Performance will take place at Camp Douglas, Wisconsin, specifically supporting operations at Volk Field Air National Guard Base. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at the time of quote submission, and the procurement follows firm fixed-price contracting methods. The acquisition aims to reduce FOD removal time, improve airfield safety conditions, and maximize equipment utilization to support faster aircraft turnaround and enhanced mission readiness.
