Opportunity

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the FA5613 700 CONS PK office, has issued solicitation number F3N0426061A001 for the procurement of three mobile welding machines and three trailers. The required equipment consists of a diesel-powered, engine-driven welding system capable of providing true DC constant current/constant voltage output across all welding processes. This system must allow for immediate transitions between Stick, MIG, flux-cored, and DC TIG welding without the need for external modules or manual reconfiguration. The performance of this requirement is situated in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

The specified welding machines must support simultaneous, independent weld output and high-capacity generator power without derating to ensure uninterrupted operations while powering auxiliary equipment. Technical requirements include air carbon arc gouging support with 3/16-inch electrodes and high open-circuit voltage for arc starts over extended lead lengths. The generator component must provide 12,000 peak watts and 10,000 continuous watts with 1-phase, 120/240VA, and 50hz capability. Two attachments, a questions and answers document and a presolicitation notice, were posted in late April 2026.

This opportunity is classified under NAICS 333992 for Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing and PSC 3431 for Electric Arc Welding Equipment. Responses are due by May 1, 2026. Ms. Cevonia Joshua serves as the primary point of contact for this requirement.
