Various Industrial Plant Equipment

The GSA Federal Acquisition Service is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for various Industrial Plant Equipment (IPE) to be delivered to multiple locations within the continental United States and overseas. The procurement includes 13 pipe bending machines, 9 flaring and beading units, 9 engine lathes, and multiple waterjet cutting machines with specifications ranging from different size categories and cutting capabilities. Vendors must demonstrate manufacturing capabilities for industrial machinery under NAICS codes 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) and 332322 (Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing), with specific emphasis on equipment that meets detailed technical specifications including precision requirements, power specifications, and comprehensive tooling packages. The evaluation will focus on vendor capability statements, previous experience with similar equipment, production capacity, and potential teaming arrangements, with responses limited to five pages and requiring answers to twelve detailed questions covering quote preparation, contract preferences, and subcontracting plans. All responses must be submitted to Daniel Herrera at daniel.herrera@gsa.gov no later than July 31, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, and vendors failing to provide sufficient information as requested in the RFI may be considered non-responsive.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors, with the government encouraging the formation of Contracting Team Arrangements among potential vendors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The equipment quantities are substantial, totaling approximately 40+ individual machines across four different categories, with the waterjet machines representing the most complex items requiring precision cutting capabilities of 0.001 inches and the ability to cut materials up to 4 inches thick. All equipment must be manufactured in the United States and include minimum one-year warranties with three years of technical support. The procurement timeline indicates this is an early market research phase, with actual solicitations not yet available, and the government has not made any commitment to proceed with the acquisition based on RFI responses.
