DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.AMC.ACC.ACC-CTRS.ACC RI.W6QK ACC-RI · Response deadline: Mon, 26 Oct 2026

What the government is buying

The Army is seeking a HYTORC Torque Wrench kit through a combined synopsis/solicitation. Torque wrench kits are precision tools used to apply specific torque to fasteners such as nuts and bolts, critical for ensuring proper assembly and safety in mechanical and industrial applications. HYTORC is a well-known manufacturer in this space, specializing in hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric torque tools used across defense, energy, and heavy manufacturing sectors.

For military applications, torque wrench kits typically support equipment maintenance, vehicle repair, and weapons system assembly where exact torque specifications are mandatory. The NAICS 333515 classification covers "Cutting Tool and Machine Tool Accessory Manufacturing," which includes precision measuring and hand tools used in machining and mechanical work.

Key facts

Who can bid

This is a full and open competition with no set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may compete. Small businesses are not reserved exclusive access, but they may still submit offers alongside large enterprises. Given the specialized nature of HYTORC equipment, potential bidders should have:

• Established supply relationships with HYTORC or authorized distribution channels
• Experience providing industrial torque tools to government or defense customers
• Capability to meet any applicable military specifications or calibration requirements (see the solicitation)

Vendors do not need small business certifications to participate. However, if you qualify as a small business under NAICS 333515 size standards, you may want to assess whether competing against larger distributors is strategically viable for your firm.

How to put together a competitive bid

Verify product authenticity and sourcing. The government's reference to "HYTORC" suggests brand-name or brand-name-or-equal procurement. Confirm whether the solicitation specifies exact model numbers or allows equivalents. If equivalents are permitted, you must clearly demonstrate how your proposed kit meets or exceeds the salient characteristics—see the solicitation for required documentation.

Understand the kit configuration. Torque wrench kits vary significantly in components: pumps, hoses, reaction arms, sockets, and calibration certificates may be included or required separately. Do not assume the scope—see the solicitation for the complete bill of materials and any technical data package.

Address delivery and logistics. With performance at Rock Island, Illinois, consider freight terms, packaging for industrial tools, and any just-in-time delivery requirements. The Arsenal environment may have specific access, security, or receiving protocols.

Pricing strategy for open competition. Without a set-aside, expect competition from large industrial distributors. Emphasize total evaluated cost: unit price, shipping, warranty terms, and past performance. If you have favorable pricing through a HYTORC authorized dealer program or volume commitments, leverage that.

Review past performance requirements. See the solicitation for whether the Army requires completed contract references or simply allows offeror assertions. For specialized tools, relevant experience with similar military or heavy-industrial customers strengthens your submission.
