Turret Punch Press and Laser Cutter Preventative Maintenance and Remedial Repairs

The Department of the Army is seeking preventative maintenance and remedial repair services for turret punch press and laser cutter machines located at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania. The pre-solicitation notice is a Request for Information (RFI) designed to gather market research on vendor capabilities and experience in servicing these specialized machines. The government is specifically interested in contractors who can provide comprehensive maintenance for four LVD/Strippit machines, including two turret punch presses and two laser cutters. Potential vendors are encouraged to respond indicating their ability to service either one or both types of machines. The RFI is posted on March 19, 2025, with responses due by March 24, 2025, and aims to collect detailed information about vendors' technical expertise, response times, and service capabilities.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designation, which means it is open to all qualified vendors within the Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance sector (NAICS 811310). The maintenance requirements include semi-annual preventative maintenance for turret punch presses, annual maintenance for laser cutters, and provisions for both emergency and non-emergency repair services. Emergency repairs will require a two-business-day response time, with the overall objective of ensuring the machines operate at peak performance to support the Army depot's production requirements. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the contract will be administered as a non-personal service arrangement, with the contractor responsible for all aspects of service quality and workforce management. Contractors will need to comply with standard security clearance and access requirements typical of federal depot operations.
