Action Target Range Maintenance Service Plan

The Michigan State Police (MSP) Training Division has issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for an Action Target Indoor Range Maintenance Service Plan, seeking to establish a multi-year agreement for bi-annual maintenance of their Training Academy's indoor range. The procurement specifically targets maintenance services for specialized range equipment, with Action Target identified as the sole factory-authorized service and repair source for their patented equipment. Potential vendors must submit detailed documentation demonstrating equivalent service capabilities through the state's SIGMAVSS portal, falling under commodity code 93885 for Testing and Training Apparatus, Instruments and Machines, Maintenance and Repair. Key procurement dates include a deadline for vendor questions by 9:00 a.m. EST on April 6, 2018, and responses from alternative vendors due by 9:00 a.m. EST on April 12, 2018. The primary objective is to secure comprehensive maintenance services that ensure the ongoing operational readiness and safety of the MSP Training Academy's indoor shooting range. Vendors must provide thorough documentation of their technical capabilities, service methodologies, and ability to meet the specific maintenance requirements of the specialized range equipment.

The ITN does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Action Target, located in Provo, Utah, appears to be the intended source vendor, suggesting a potential sole-source or limited competition procurement. No specific pricing terms, budget ranges, or award values were provided in the available documentation. The procurement seems focused on technical capability and specialized expertise in indoor range equipment maintenance rather than broader competitive bidding strategies. While the document does not detail specific evaluation criteria beyond technical competence, the emphasis appears to be on vendors' ability to provide factory-authorized maintenance services for highly specialized range equipment. The multi-year agreement structure implies a desire for a long-term, stable maintenance partnership that ensures continuous operational readiness of the training facility's critical infrastructure.
