Composite Repair Hot Bonder

McConnell AFB is seeking a Dual Zone Composite Repair Hot Bonder under solicitation FA462126Q0017, issued as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 336413, with a firm fixed price contract structure. The requirement is branded as “brand name or equal,” and the equipment must enable simultaneous multi-zone composite repairs to improve efficiency and reduce turnaround time for advanced aircraft repairs. The system must deliver one complete unit with accessories including heat blankets, thermocouples, vacuum hose, and an air filter, and must be delivered within 30 calendar days of award. Inspection and acceptance will occur at McConnell AFB, Kansas, with the Government serving as the sole authority for evaluating compliance against the Statement of Need using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method. Offers must meet all technical requirements in the Statement of Need to be considered acceptable, with pricing serving as the deciding factor among qualified submissions. The solicitation amendment issued on May 6, 2026, updated point of contact information and clarified the brand name or equal status, and questions were due by May 5, 2026, with quotes due by May 13, 2026. All contractors must comply with FAR and DFARS clauses covering procurement integrity, cybersecurity, ethical conduct, and supply chain restrictions, including prohibitions on hexavalent chromium, covered telecommunications equipment from Xinjiang or the Maduro regime, and use of certain defense telecommunications systems. Invoicing is mandated through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), with electronic submission required. Payment will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer using the DoDAAC F87700, with remittance directed to the McConnell AFB logistics address. No pricing details are provided in the solicitation itself, as offerors are expected to complete that information in their proposals. Contractors must hold a current Unique Entity ID and SAM registration, represent their small business status per the 1,250-employee size standard, and affirm compliance with all applicable representations. The packaging and marking section lacks specific requirements, and no detailed MIL-STDs, testing criteria, or inspection tolerances are outlined, relying instead on the Statement of Need for technical compliance. The contracting officer is 2nd Lt Susannah Spry, with secondary support from Haley Frierdich, while Warnage Fonseka serves as the point of contact for receipt and acceptance. An ombudsman is available for dispute resolution,
