Preventative Maintenance and Repair Services for Machine Shop Equipment at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA)

The Department of the Air Force, Air Education and Training Command at the United States Air Force Academy is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (FA700026Q0041) to identify qualified vendors—particularly small businesses—to provide annual preventative‑maintenance, inspection, diagnostics, calibration and on‑call reactive repair services for a mixed fleet of eight core machine‑tool assets (including Kent surface grinders, Clausing lathes, Bridgeport mills, Flow waterjet, and Haas CNC equipment) and, if funding permits, three additional machines (FANUC RoboCut C400iC, Titan i25s EDM drill, Haas VF‑4 CNC mill). The contractor must supply all labor, tools, travel and living expenses for the preventative portion, perform comprehensive OEM‑based maintenance (electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, coolant, leveling, alignment, backlash, geometric verification, vibration analysis, spindle/drawbar checks, ball‑bar analysis), and deliver detailed service reports after each visit. A separate quoting mechanism is required for on‑call reactive repairs. Interested parties must submit a capability statement of no more than five pages that includes company information (UEI, CAGE, PO C), socioeconomic status, detailed experience servicing the listed brands, at least two recent comparable contracts, and any applicable GWAC or GSA schedule contract vehicles. Submissions are due electronically to Dawson Hopkinson and Ron Wilson by 10:00 a.m. MDT on 5 May 2026, with the subject line “Sources Sought Response: USAFA Machine Tool Maintenance – [Your Company Name]”. This market‑research notice is mission‑critical due to internal staff shortages and does not constitute a solicitation.
