AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground plans to award a sole-source contract to Struers, Inc. for preventive maintenance services on four specific pieces of proprietary equipment used at the Aberdeen Test Center. The contract will cover the Rotopol-31, Multidoser, Prontopress-20, and Duramin-A300 C, all requiring specialized maintenance by Struers’ certified technicians due to the proprietary nature of the equipment. Struers will provide their bronze level preventive maintenance plan, which includes annual site visits, replacement of common wear parts, system performance verification through factory calibration with certification, unlimited phone support, and technical evaluations to address any deficiencies. This preventive maintenance is critical for ensuring the continuous operation of the materials lab’s mounting, polishing, and micro-hardness testing equipment, which are essential for material failure analysis supporting various testing projects at the center. The contract includes an initial period with two additional option years, emphasizing the significance of sustained equipment reliability to avoid costly repairs and potential operational disruptions. Sole-source procurement is justified, as contracting another provider would lead to substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements. The contract falls under NAICS code 334519, with a size standard of 500 employees. Interested parties were invited to submit expressions of interest by May 15, 2015, but this notice does not constitute a solicitation for competing proposals. The designated contact for this action is SSG Antoine Echols, the Contracting Specialist at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Army Contracting Command, Tenant Division, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD intends to negotiate solely (as prescribed in FAR 6.302-1) with Struers, Inc, 24766 Detroit Road, Westlake, OH 44145-1598. Struers Preventive Maintenance Plans (PMP) are designed to preserve and enhance equipment reliability by replacing common wear parts before failure, verifying system performance based on factory level testing and inspecting and evaluating the technical performance to correct any deficiencies. ATC is requesting the bronze level plan offered by Struers. The equipment is proprietary and only Struers certified technicians are able to provide the service. The contractor shall provide repair services on four (4) pieces of equipment list below: Rotopol-31 - Silver Serial Number 4920730 Multidoser - Silver Serial Number 4605633 Prontopress-20 - Silver Serial Number 5071370 Duramin-A300 C - Silver Serial Number 5640122 Vital services provided by the PMP are: A yearly PM visit to the Materials lab Standard service kit (wear parts) Unlimited Phone Support Struers Certified Technicians Factory Calibration with Certificate Standard Verification ATC is asking for 2 additional option years for this contract. The contractor shall provide services to keep the mounting and polishing equipment is working condition. It also includes a PM and standard verification on our micro-hardness tester which is vital to a lot of testing performed at ATC. All this equipment helps support multiple projects at ATC and needs preventive maintenance and service to work properly. All failure analysis requires material preparation, and without this service, the failure analysis capability of the materials lab could be lost until repair which would be more expensive then the PM Service. Award to another contractor would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 334519 and the size standard is 500 EMP. Interested persons may identify their interest, in writing, to the Government point of contact. Responses to this notice must be received no later than 1:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time, 15 May 2015.
