- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared IAW, the format in FAR subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Price Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-06 & DFARS change notice (DCN) 20051209. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 3728, FSC code is 1630& the size standard is 1000 employees. NAICS is 336413. The Air Force Flight Test Center has a requirement for Wheel Speed and Hubcap Assembly. The assembly consists of the items as listed: 30 each - P/N 140-285, Wheel Speed Transducer, and 30 each ? P/N 140-28530, Hubcap. The function of the entire assembly is to sense wheel speed at landing to prevent skid on a runway by communicating with an on-board control unit that monitors brake application pressure. Other salient characteristics are described below: Two wheel-speed transducers provide individual wheel velocity measurement for each of the braked wheels. The transducers have axle adapters to allow them to be mounted inside the axles. The transducer-adapter assembly is secured by threaded fasteners protruding through the axle and castellated wheel axle nuts. The transducer shaft extends from the transducer toward the hubcap. On the shaft, a drive coupling is installed, which is driven by the hubcap drive mechanism. The field-proven hubcap-transducer drive interface is of sufficient rotational stiffness and strength to prevent transmission of erroneous wheel-speed velocity signals. The coupling design can accommodate angular and parallel misalignment and axial assembly tolerance without degradation such as premature bearing or drive coupling wear. The transducer is a variable reluctance alternator with 36 poles (teeth) on the rotor with 36 matching poles (teeth) on the stator. The magnetic field is provided by a coaxial coil energized by the control unit transducer bias current. With the excitation applied, a static magnetic field is established between the north and south poles of the rotor, air gap, stator and return path iron of the transducer, and no output is produced. As the wheel rotates, rotor teeth pass the stator slots and teeth, causing variations in the reluctance of the magnetic circuit, which causes a change in the flux linking the coil. The transducer output is, therefore, a sinusoidally varying voltage, with a frequency directly proportional to wheel rotational velocity. Transducer Weight: The weight of the wheel-speed transducer is 1.1 pounds. The weight will be further defined after final axle adapter design. The transducer weight does not include the weight of the hubcap, which is included in the total system weight estimate. The proposed wheel-speed transducer is similar to Hydro-Aire 36-tooth wheel-speed transducers used on numerous commercial, business and military aircraft. See attached specifications for clarification. Interested parties who believe they can meet all the requirements for the Wheel Speed and Hubcap Assembly described in this synopsis are invited to submit in writing complete information describing their ability to provide the required equipment. FOB Destination is the Government preferred method of shipping. Please submit FOB Destination shipping information with all submittals to the office. Delivery Schedule: Five months ARO. Offerors are required to submit with their quote enough information for the Government to evaluate the minimum requirements detailed in this synopsis. 52.232-33 Mandatory information for electronic funds transfer payment. Before we can begin the contracting process with your company, I need the following online Representations & Certifications Application (ORCA) completed--- http://orca.bpn.gov/. for MPIN registration---http://www.ccr.gov/mpin.asp/. Use of online reps & certs application (ORCA) became mandatory 1 Jan. 2005. ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes, standardizes, and moves the collection and storing of FAR level representations and certifications online. Reps & Certs are to be completed at least annually by vendors online through the ORCA portion of the Business Partner Network (BPN). Contractors, presently registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR), can get a head start by going to www.bpn.gov/orca/ to activate their ORCA profiles. Initially, ORCA will retain the most significant contractor reps & certs that would apply to any acquisition in the form of 26 questions. Solicitation specific Reps & Certs may still be used outside of ORCA. Further information on this initiative may be obtained from the ORCA help menu, http://orca.bpn.gov/help.aspx. This help menu includes ORCA background information, frequently asked questions (FAQ), and the ORCA handbook. Provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors?Commercial, applies to this acquisition. Provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation, Commercial Items. (JAN 1999). The government will award a contract resulting form this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government in terms of price and other factors. "Product shall meet the Government's exact specifications (exact form, fit, and function). It must pass a qualifying test before putting in the C-5 aircraft. In addition, the equipment must be a qualified product ready to be installed in the aircraft." The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the government requirement; (ii) price; (iii) past performance 52.212-3 Offeror Representations & Certifications, Commercial Items 52.204-7 Central Contractor Registration 52.212-4 Contract Terms & Conditions, Commercial Items 52.212-5 Contract Terms & Conditions required to Implement statutes 52.225-4 Buy American Act, North American Free Trade Agreement, Israeli Trade Act Certificate 52.225-4 Alternate I 52.222-22 Previous Contracts & Compliance Reports 52.222-25 Affirmative Action Compliance 252.212-7000 Offeror Reps & Certs, Commercial Items 52.252-2 Clauses Incorporated by Reference (FEB 1998).
