AFREP Modular Electronic Repair Workbench Systems

This Pre-Solicitation Notice is posted in accordance with RFO Part 5.101. The Department of the Air Force intends to issue a solicitation for the procurement of four (4) specialized, heavy-duty modular electronic repair workbench systems. This turnkey requirement includes vendor-provided shipping, delivery, and on-site installation at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. This requirement is being executed as a "Brand Name or Equal" acquisition (Target Brand: LISTA) to meet stringent operational, safety, and spatial tolerances within the existing facility. We highly encourage and welcome submissions from vendors offering alternate "equal" solutions. To be considered technically acceptable, offerors proposing an "equal" product must demonstrate that their proposed solution meets or exceeds the physical, functional, and performance requirements outlined in the attached Salient Characteristics document. While aesthetic equivalents are acceptable where noted, the Government must adhere strictly to the core physical parameters established in the salient characteristics—specifically dimensions, weight capacity, electronic access control, and ESD/power management. Strict adherence to these minimum thresholds is mandatory to prevent critical operational disruptions, safety hazards, and facility layout impacts. At this time, the Government is conducting market research to gauge industry capability and interest. Interested vendors who can provide the LISTA brand or a technically equivalent product that meets the attached Salient Characteristics are requested to submit a brief Capability Statement. Submissions should clearly address the vendor's ability to meet the dimensional tolerances, load capacities, and electronic drawer access requirements. (Please note: This is a pre-solicitation notice for market research and planning purposes only. A formal Request for Quote (RFQ) will be issued at a later date.)
