The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center seeks a firm-fixed-price modernization of the high-performance hydraulic motion system at Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) Tunnel 9 under a Total Small Business set-aside, with quotations due November 6, 2026 at 10:00 AM Central Time. The solicitation is a Request for Quote, FA910127QB003, and quotes are submitted by email to maddux.golden@us.af.mil and erica.anglin@us.af.mil.
Scope covers design, engineering, procurement, off-site fabrication, pre-assembly, on-site demolition, installation, and commissioning of core components, all of which must comply with ASME B31.1, ASME BPVC VIII, and ISO 4406. Core components are a primary control valve with a step response time of 55 ms or less, a main actuating cylinder with a 120.5-inch working stroke capable of 13 ft/s linear speed, a Hydraulic Power Unit, and a dedicated filtration and cooling "kidney" loop. The solicitation lists three line items, each one unit: Phase 1 (engineering and design), Phase 2 (manufacturing, test, and delivery), and Phase 3 (disassembly, installation, start-up, and commissioning). Delivery is due 48 weeks from award.

Evaluation uses three factors in descending order of importance. Technical capability is rated acceptable or unacceptable against a Statement of Work covering technical approach, schedule, testing, installation, commissioning, and quality control, and only technically acceptable quotes advance. Past performance, assessed through CPARS and similar hydraulic system experience, and price, evaluated for reasonableness, follow and are weighted approximately equally. Award goes to the responsible small business offering the most advantageous quotation.
