Description

The Government is seeking sources interested in producing Coupling Half, Quick Disconnects (CHQDs), NSN: 4730-01-391-8461, P/N: 5-1-1086. The government intends to issue a Best Value solicitation for an estimated total quantity of 1.4M CHQDs. However, because these items are urgently needed the government intends to solicit with a very compressed delivery schedule. The government requires deliveries at a rate of appr oximately 175,000 to 350,000 per month. In order to meet the required monthly rate, the government may make more than one contract award. A First Article Test (FAT) is required 60 days after contract award. The government may consider waiving FAT for those contractors that have previously produced this item. If FAT is waived deliveries will be required to commence 60 days after the contract is awarded. If FAT is required deliveries will commence 60 days after FAT have been approved. If your firm is intere sted and has the capacity to produce in a compressed schedule at a very high rate, immediately notify the point of contact in this notice by 3 Mar 04. The CHQD is an assembly that is a part of the drink system for the M40 Series Protective Gas Mask. The quick disconnect end of the CHQD interfaces with the M1 Canteen Cap allowing the user to drink water from a canteen when the plunger within the CHQD housing is actuated. The other end of the CHQD attaches to an external rubber drink tube leading to the ma sk. Within the aluminum housing of the CHQD is a spring, plunger, gasket and end fitting. As part of this assembly, a curved (90 degree nominal) aluminum tube elbow connects to the end fitting within the housing. The overall length of the CHQD assembly is approximately 2 1/8 inches consisting of the housing (approximately 1 1/2 inches long, .438 inch nominal diameter) and the bent aluminum tube. The tube (3/16 approx. outside diameter) before bending measures approximately 1 1/4 inches in length. Since the CHQD is part of the mask system, this assembly must not leak when not in use for drinking. To assure proper performance, leakage and air flow resistance testing is required of the assembly. Technical POC: Glen Broman (309)782-4550 and Willie Felix/L ead Engineer (309)782-8024.
