The Government is soliciting competitive bids for a specialized wheel washer system essential to maintaining C-130 aircraft readiness through squadron-level wheel overhaul operations. The contractor must furnish, deliver, install, test, and commission a fully operational unit at the 71st Isochronal Maintenance Facility in Fort Moore, Georgia, with all work required to be completed no later than 90 calendar days after contract award. The equipment must feature a heated wash system, automated brushing, and high-pressure spray cleaning with C-130-specific brushes housed in a chamber measuring a minimum of 26 inches on each side. The cleaning solution must be water-based with no adverse environmental impact, and the system must comply with all applicable industry safety standards for automated and high-pressure machinery. Electrical infrastructure at the site has been pre-installed and the contractor is responsible for ensuring full compatibility. The solicitation is structured as a Firm Fixed-Price contract with a clear cost breakdown required for four distinct line items: the wheel washer unit including initial cleaning solution and brushes, shipping and handling to the delivery location, installation and commissioning labor, and on-site training along with the delivery of comprehensive operation, maintenance, and safety manuals. Proposals must be submitted via email by 10:00 AM EST on July 30, 2026, with attachments limited to .pdf, .doc, or .xls formats. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, where proposals must first pass a mandatory technical compliance threshold—meeting all dimensional, functional, and environmental requirements—before price becomes the determining factor. Delivery schedule and past performance in supplying industrial cleaning or aviation ground support equipment are secondary differentiators. The set-aside is reserved exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 333310, and no funds are currently available; award will be contingent upon future funding availability. Final acceptance requires successful demonstration of operational capability and formal Government sign-off after installation, testing, and completion of training.
