Annual Inspection/Weight Testing of Cranes at Air Guard MGM

The state of Alabama is seeking a contractor to perform annual inspection and weight testing of hoists and cranes for multiple Air Guard locations across Montgomery and Dothan. The procurement covers (11) total hoists and cranes located at three specific facilities: 187th Fighter Wing in Montgomery, 232nd Combat Communications Squadron in Montgomery, and 280th Special Operations Communications Squadron in Dothan. Vendors must submit a comprehensive quote covering all locations on an "all or none" basis, with pricing to include all labor, equipment, materials, and travel costs for testing and certification. The contract requires a detailed inspection process that includes written reports documenting repairs, deficiencies, and corrective actions for each inspected hoist and crane, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards. The solicitation was posted on April 2, 2025, with proposal responses due by April 9, 2025. Contractors must have appropriate credentials to access military facilities, provide proof of vehicle insurance, and comply with base, local, state, and federal environmental and occupational safety regulations.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions noted for disadvantaged enterprises in the documentation. The contract appears open to qualified vendors with appropriate technical capabilities for conducting comprehensive crane and hoist inspections. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the opportunity requires specialized knowledge of industrial lifting equipment testing protocols across military facilities. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range, instead requesting vendors quote a total price for all locations. Vendors must be prepared to work within the Air Guard's operational schedule, which typically allows facility access Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. A point of contact, Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Cosby, is available for performance certification and communication. Successful contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in industrial equipment inspection, safety compliance, and military facility access protocols.
