Load TestingThe Department of Defense is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified small businesses capable of providing annual proof testing and load test services for critical aerospace ground equipment used with the C-5 Galaxy aircraft. The testing will focus on engine handling and Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) hoisting equipment, including bootstrap beam assemblies, bootstrap beam hoists, and APU lifting hoists located at Westover Air Reserve Base, Massachusetts. The government intends to establish a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement to cover this recurring maintenance requirement, which includes structural and mechanical proof load testing, non-destructive inspections to certify equipment integrity, and providing official certification documentation. Interested vendors must submit a capability statement by June 30, 2026, detailing company information, socioeconomic status under NAICS 811310, relevant technical expertise with AGSE or comparable equipment, and examples of past performance with similar load testing contracts. Vendors must clarify whether testing will be conducted on-site at Westover ARB or off-site at a certified facility, as transportation capabilities may be required. This opportunity is set aside for total small business participation, and responses must be submitted electronically to the Department of Defense point of contact, Robert E. Stacy, by the specified deadline. The notice is strictly for information gathering and does not constitute a commitment or solicitation for proposals.
