Clicker Die Press

The Department of Defense, through the W6QM Micc-Ft Drum, is soliciting quotes for the procurement of one new Clicker Die Press designed for die cutting gaskets, apparel, and leather goods. This acquisition is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333514. The government specifies a brand name requirement for an ATOM SE 25L/CE or an approved equal. The equipment must be brand new, as used or remanufactured products are prohibited. Key technical specifications include a 1000mm by 500mm cutting table, a 610mm arm width, a 25-ton maximum cutting power, a cast iron base, a swing beam, and a programmable cutting counter. For safety, the press must feature twin piston grip pushbutton controls with a time interlock requiring synchronized pressing. The package must include three additional cutting pads and a spare parts kit containing a circuit board, filter, pressure switch, and push buttons, with oil provided separately. Offers will be evaluated based on price and technical compliance, with the award going to the responsible offeror most advantageous to the government. All quotes must be submitted via the PIEE Solicitation module and include technical and price documentation, as well as a completed certification of country of origin. Delivery is required on an F.O.B. destination basis, with a preferred delivery timeframe of within 30 days. The contract incorporates several critical regulatory clauses, including security prohibitions, Buy American requirements, and safeguarding of covered defense information. To be considered as an equal to the brand name, offerors must provide detailed descriptive literature and clearly identify the make and model of the proposed equipment.
