Sources Sought - MXG Automated Benchstock

The 140th Maintenance Group at Buckley Space Force Base is seeking information from potential sources for the provision of an automated vending benchstock/hardware machine. The machine should support and improve bench stock management, FOD control, man-hour assets, accountability, and other mandates. The automated system should eliminate the need for manual red/green flagging and automatic deduction of issued items from the total stock level. The following are key aspects of the requirement: • The machine should be able to manage bench stock at the 100% stock level and not allow stocking an item over the 200% level. • Items should be listed on a Restock Report when an item reaches 50%, eliminating human error and stock-outs. • The automated system should eliminate the need for the manual red/green flagging system. • Automatic deduction of issued items from the total stock level should eliminate the need to individually count multiple items issued. • The system should control wastage and virtually eliminate the possibility of FOD. • Bench stock physicals should be cut down from days to hours or less.
