HYDROSTATIC TEST SYSTEM

The Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) at Robins Air Force Base is procuring a Hydrostatic Test System and related components for the 402nd Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG). This acquisition, conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), was recently amended to transition from a sole-source procurement to a brand-name small business set-aside. The requirement is restricted to equipment manufactured by Hydraulic Technology, Inc., though quotes are accepted from the manufacturer or its authorized distributors. The scope includes a specific hydrostatic test unit, a 2,300 psi pump, and various high-pressure hose assemblies. Delivery is required at Robins Air Force Base within eight to ten weeks after receipt of order, and all equipment must include a three-year warranty. Compliance requirements include a minimum NIST SP 800-171 assessment score of 110 and a narrative demonstrating financial capability. While the solicitation contains CMMC clauses, the government has clarified that CMMC status will not be evaluated for this commercial-off-the-shelf award. This solicitation has evolved from a sole-source notice to a brand-name small business set-aside. The Air Force is seeking specific Hydraulic Technology, Inc. equipment to ensure it integrates seamlessly with current systems and avoids the need for new staff training. The Air Force Sustainment Center requires a Hydrostatic Test System to support tube production at the 573rd Tube & Cable Shop within the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex. This system is essential for quality assurance and represents a critical point in the manufacturing process.
