Maintenance & Support Services for Bauer Aircraft Component Test Equipment & Related Systems

The 309th AMXG Squadron at Hill Air Force Base in Utah is seeking comprehensive software and engineering support services for aircraft component test equipment, Test Program Sets, and associated control systems originally manufactured or developed by Bauer, Incorporated. Bauer holds the exclusive intellectual property, proprietary data, and specialized technical expertise required to sustain these systems, which has led the government to pursue a sole-source acquisition under RFO 6.103-1(b). A 12-month contract is anticipated to be awarded directly to Bauer, Incorporated of Bristol, Connecticut, with CAGE code 70882, to ensure uninterrupted operational readiness and technical integrity of the test systems critical to mission success. Although the solicitation is structured as sole-source, the government is open to receiving capability statements from other responsible sources interested in performing the work. Submissions must clearly demonstrate the firm’s authority and technical proficiency in maintaining, engineering, and providing software support for Bauer-developed test equipment, and must state whether the submitting firm is large or small, and whether it is U.S.-owned or foreign-owned. The solicitation, identified as 14703, was posted on May 12, 2026, with responses due by May 22, 2026, under NAICS code 541330. All inquiries and submissions should be directed to William F. Lee, the primary point of contact, or Shelly Bachison at Hill AFB, Utah.
