Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, specifically the W7M6 USPFO ACTIVITY ILANG 182 (Illinois Air National Guard) in Peoria, IL, is soliciting quotations for commercial fitness equipment, including provisions for trade-in credits for existing equipment. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside acquisition. The Government intends to make a single award based on best value. Quotations are due by May 14, 2026, at 12:00 PM CST.
Scope of Work
This Request for Quotation (RFQ) covers the procurement of various types of fitness equipment (CLINs 0001-0011), such as dual-function machines, plate-loaded machines, weight storage, and Olympic grip plates. Key requirements include:
- Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Equipment: To the maximum extent, requested equipment must be CPO with a minimum one (1) year parts warranty covering normal commercial use. CPO equipment must be professionally inspected, refurbished, fully functional, structurally sound, and safe for commercial use.
- Trade-in Credits: Offerors must provide trade-in credits for specified existing fitness equipment (CLINs 0013-0053). The winning contractor will be responsible for removing trade-in equipment from the installation at no additional cost to the Government, including disconnection, removal, and haul-away. The contractor's removal/delivery vehicle must be equipped with a lift-gate.
- Technical Documentation: Quotations for "equal" products must include sufficient technical documentation to demonstrate compliance with all stated salient characteristics.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Request for Quotation (RFQ), single award, Firm Fixed Price for all CLINs.
- Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5).
- Period of Performance: 90 days After Receipt of Order (ARO).
- Optional Site Visit: April 22, 2026, at 09:00 AM CST.

Evaluation Factors
Award will be based on a best value determination, considering:
- Factor 1 – Technical Performance (Acceptable/Unacceptable): Evaluated on the ability to provide listed equipment, offer trade-in credit, and provide a one-year parts warranty. Failure to provide sufficient technical documentation for "equal" products will result in an unacceptable rating.
- Factor 2 – Pricing: Evaluated for reasonableness, completeness, and balance. Pricing will not be scored unless technically acceptable.
- Factor 3 – Past Performance: Evaluated for relevancy (commercial fitness equipment, delivery, installation, refurbishment, or resale of similar equipment, comparable scope/complexity). Past performance will be used as a tie-breaker for technically acceptable quotes with exact prices. Offerors may submit a CPARS record, a relevant contract reference, or a statement of no relevant past performance.
