Precision Machining of Custom Calibration Adapters

The contract requires the fabrication of proprietary calibration adapters using high-precision CNC machining techniques with aerospace-grade materials to ensure exact dimensional tolerances and structural integrity. These adapters are critical for interfacing with Instron 70,000 lb. calibration machines and C-17 ADS Links, meaning they must meet stringent performance and reliability standards for use in defense and aerospace testing environments. The work demands expert handling of complex geometries and material properties typical of high-stress applications, with quality control protocols aligned to military and aerospace specifications. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 332710, indicating it targets specialized metal forging and stamping services with precision machining capabilities. The place of performance is firmly identified as Edwards, California, with a zip code of 93524, placing it within a major aerospace and defense testing hub. The contract was posted on May 6, 2026, and responses are due by 8:00 PM on May 15, 2026, providing a narrow two-week window for proposal submission. Though no set-aside designation or point of contact is specified, the contracting office is listed as FA9302 Aftc Pzz under the Department of Defense, signaling its direct relevance to Air Force test and evaluation infrastructure.
