Plant and Laboratory Equipment

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) Energetics Department intends to procure a variety of plant and laboratory equipment to support ongoing projects at China Lake, California. This requirement includes machine tools, work holding devices, and peripheral equipment for both conventional and computer numerically controlled systems. Under solicitation N6893620R0082, the Department of the Navy seeks a contractor to provide these products along with rapid-response maintenance, repair, and calibration services. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 333517 for Machine Tool Manufacturing and PSC 3419 for Miscellaneous Machine Tools.

The government intends to award a contract with a five-year performance period, utilizing individual delivery orders to specify criteria, pricing, and shipping for required items. Because the procured products and services are considered time-critical, the contractor must adhere to strict delivery schedules. For service requirements, the contractor is expected to respond at the government site within one week of order issuance. In addition to on-call repairs, the contract allows for annual maintenance service agreements to address recurring needs.

Formal responses for this solicitation are due by March 28, 2020. The procurement process includes two associated documents: a commercial solicitation originally posted on February 28, 2020, and a subsequent solicitation amendment posted on March 23, 2020. Robert Roulusonis serves as the point of contact for this requirement.
