DeCA Scale Maintenance

The 18th Contracting Squadron at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, plans to award a purchase order through a Simplified Acquisition Procedure for maintenance services on scales located at four DeCA sites: Kadena Air Base, Camp Foster, Camp Courtney, and Camp Kinser, Okinawa, Japan. The contractor is responsible for providing comprehensive services including management, labor, tools, supplies, equipment, transportation, materials, and parts needed to calibrate, inspect, maintain, repair, and test these scales. The maintenance scope includes two main components: preventive maintenance, which requires the contractor to perform at least one service during the contract period involving adjustments, calibration, cleaning, lubrication, and other tasks to ensure proper functioning; and on-call maintenance, to address repairs of inoperative scales by providing necessary labor and replacement parts as needed. This requirement is currently in the pre-solicitation stage, with funds not yet available but possibly becoming accessible by the end of the fiscal year. Quotes are requested to remain valid through December 30, 2009, but formal solicitations will be issued later before any offers are accepted. The contract falls under the NAICS code 333997, related to specialized equipment maintenance, and the Department of Defense is the acting agency. Interested parties can contact Contract Specialist Jennifer Ann Vincent or Contracting Officer Angela Harris for further information.
