58 MXS Crane rental and operator

The contract requires the rental of a 70-ton crane with a licensed operator and qualified rigger for a single-day lift operation on July 24th, 2026, at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. The purpose is to lift a 38,000-pound CV-22 Ground Instructional Training Aircraft using four certified lifting points spaced three feet apart, with the crane boom extending at least 60 feet to achieve a 45-foot lift radius and raise the aircraft approximately four feet off its resting position. The contractor must supply all rigging equipment including slings and shackles, and ensure full compliance with Air Force Occupational Safety and Health standards and prohibitions against ozone-depleting substances. The operation is scheduled between 1000 and 1400 local Albuquerque time, but the government reserves the right to reschedule due to weather or operational needs. Travel time to and from the base is excluded from the contract scope and will not be compensated. The procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 238990, requiring all offerors to self-certify as small businesses and hold a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE code. The evaluation method is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable, with all performance criteria set to a 100% Acceptable Quality Level, meaning any failure to meet requirements will result in a non-acceptable evaluation and rejection of the proposal. The only deliverable is the successful completion of the lift on the specified date, followed by submission of a correct invoice within 30 days, with payment contingent upon full compliance. Contract administration details such as payment office, accounting codes, and invoicing system are not specified. The performance location is strictly limited to Kirtland AFB, where the Government will conduct inspection and acceptance. Contractors must comply with base access procedures and are prohibited from receiving technical documents such as engineering drawings or lifting diagrams, reinforcing a strict control over sensitive data. No formal contract clauses are listed, and the requirements are defined entirely through the Performance Work Statement, Surveillance Matrix, and operational conditions.
