These fixtures/models/components/prototypes are typically needed in small quantities with very short lead time. The contractor will need to have all the following manufacturing capabilities available: Hot Forging (up to 2,000 ton minimum component capacity of 15 30), Ability to Saw cut Steel Billets, Rotating Band Swaging and/or Welding, Heat Treatment Capability, CNC Machining (to include both turning, and milling - components up to and including 8 in diameter and up to 36 long), Hydrostatic Testing (up to 25,000 psi), Ultrasonic/Magnetic Particle Inspection, Phosphate Coating, Painting, and Mechanical Testing. While not specifically required, some capability to work with composite materials and some Numerically Controlled Laser Jet/Water Jet cutting capability would be advantageous. (Typical tolerances involved in this type of work are 0.005 inches or larger, unilaterally.) The contractor shall have appropriate personnel available to program / develop tooling and operate the equipment. The contractor will need to have access to material suppliers that can supply these materials (alloy steels, high strength aluminum alloys etc) in an expeditious manner and the ability to fabricate hardware. This synopsis is open to all business concerns; however, in accordance with FAR 19.501, the Governments intent is to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with small businesses. In the event there arent enough responses from responsible, capable small businesses, then large business responses will be considered. All interested and potential firms must be registered in CCR, and current firms must update once a year to maintain active status. Please visit the CCR website to register and update https://www.bpn.gov/ccr/default.aspx. Whether applying for assistance awards, contracts agreements, or other business opportunities, all entities are considered "registrants". However, registration in no way guarantees that a contract or assistance award will be issued. The following information is required to register in CCR: DUNS Number; Tax Identification Number (TIN) and Taxpayers Name; Statistical Information about your business; Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Information. Once a business has been registered in CCR, it also has to be registered in ORCA, https://orca.bpn.gov/. Firms/companies are invited to indicate their interests and capabilities by providing specifications, brochures, manuals, reports, information pertaining to experience on previous projects, specific work previously performed or being performed, any in-house research and development effort, and any other specific and pertinent information as pertains to this particular area of procurement.
