Special Notice Title of Event: GEC MD8060 Automated Scale Presses Industry Day Audience: Industry Representatives When: 7 April 2026, 0800-1600 Where: Air Force Metrology & Calibration (AFMETCAL) and the Air Force Primary Standards Laboratory (AFPSL), 813 Irving-Wick Dr. W., Heath, OH 43056 Abstract: The Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program (AFMETCAL) is hosting an Industry Day to provide information and gather feedback regarding the potential modification of the GEC MD8060 Automated Scale Presses. This event is critical for potential offerors to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current system and the specific requirements for its modification. The potential modification of the MD8060 would include removing the current hydraulic and electronic systems then installing a manually controlled hydraulic pump that maintains the MD8060's accuracy of ±0.025% rdg and range from 200 to 60,000 lbf. The primary objective of this Industry Day is to allow industry partners the opportunity to inspect the MD8060 firsthand at Air Force Primary Standards Lab (AFPSL). This on-site inspection is essential for understanding the requirement and developing an informed and effective solution. We encourage industry to identify potential risks and propose mitigation strategies related to the system modification. Potential offerors on any future solicitation are required to inspect the MD8060 on site, as they likely would not be able to submit a competitive proposal without a site visit. In no event shall failure to inspect the MD8060 on site constitute grounds for a claim after any resulting contract award. Objectives: Provide early engagement and communication to Industry Provide a forum to discuss modification strategies Improve the quality of any future solicitation Identify vendors interested and capable of executing modification of the MD8060 Who Should Attend? Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Industry Day event. For this Industry Day, the Government will permit a maximum of three (3) individuals per vendor to register and attend. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code to be used for this procurement is 334516 (Laboratory Analytical Instruments Manufacturing). Items for Discussion: To facilitate effective exchange, the Government requests questions in writing prior to the Industry Day. This will allow the Government to conduct research in advance of scheduled one-on-one sessions and come prepared to answer your questions. Please submit your specific questions to BOTH frank.capuano@us.af.mil and thomas.carson.2@us.af.mil. Answers may be limited as the Government is in the Market Research phase.
