Mechanical De-reefer Device

Background
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is issuing this solicitation for the procurement of Mechanical De-reefer Devices to support the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC) for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to the Arab Republic of Egypt under Case EG-B-VRH.

Offerors are required to provide a quote for either brand name or equal products, and if an alternate is quoted, a side-by-side comparison of characteristics must be included. The vendor will prepare shipment for delivery but will not deliver the equipment directly; they must contact a freight forwarder to arrange shipment. Specific information required for shipment preparation will be provided in the contract.

Place of Performance
New Cumberland PA 17070 UNITED STATES

Bidder Requirements
This opportunity is a 100% small business set-aside. Bidders must ensure compliance with all provisions of the RFO and its supplements, including being actively registered and completing electronic annual representations and certifications prior to award. All items must comply with Berry Amendment requirements.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The solicitation for Mechanical De-reefer Devices appears to have a closely related prior contract with FXC Corporation under W911QY24A0002, including a blanket purchase agreement covering commercial parachute dereefers and associated tools and spare parts, specifically the mechanical dereefer DM-500. A related award under W911QY24A0002 (W911QY24F0274) lists “MECHANICAL DEREEFER, DM-500” with a value of $156,244 for 09/10/24–12/10/24. Because the prior work explicitly includes the same mechanical dereefer model and associated supply items, it appears to be a continuation or follow-on procurement for similar equipment.
