AI Contract Overview
The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for a five-year potential contract to provide comprehensive preventative maintenance and precision alignment services for a Baldor Reliancer Super-E motor (Specification # A44-8329-2746, Serial # A1802022089) located at Edwards Air Force Base, California. This effort is not a solicitation and no contract will be awarded based on responses; the purpose is solely to gather industry data on capability, capacity, and business size classification under NAICS code 811310, with a small business size standard of $12.5 million. The required services include annual on-site visits involving vibration and temperature analysis of drive and opposite-end bearings, replacement of bearings only if found outside operational specifications, inspection of motor housing, mounting hardware, shaft coupling, and electrical connections, a full lubrication change per manufacturer guidelines, and precision laser shaft alignment to the associated Air Conditioning Unit 2. Each service visit must be followed by a detailed report documenting all work performed, including baseline and final vibration readings, laser alignment values, and recommendations for future corrective actions or part replacements. All work must be performed by qualified personnel who meet the Statement of Work requirements and are authorized for access to Edwards Air Force Base, which necessitates completion of a Visitor Control Card and Compound Form at least four duty days prior to any site visit. Interested parties must submit no more than three pages of information, including company name, SAM Unique Entity ID, CAGE Code, address, points of contact, a brief description of prior experience with this type of motor maintenance, and clear identification of business size and any applicable socioeconomic designations as listed in SAM. Submissions are due by 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time on April 29, 2026, and must fully support the entire scope of work—partial responses are not accepted. No pricing, contract value, or formal clauses are included, as this is an information-gathering effort only, and no reimbursement will be provided for response costs. The potential contract, if solicited in the future, would include a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, totaling up to five years of possible performance.
