A requirement by the government exists for a tube squaring tool, which is a bench mounted machine designed specifically to prepare tubes for autogenous welding. To assess what Tube and Squaring Tools currently exist in the commercial marketplace, the Navy is requesting industry provide product descriptions of items that meet the following Government requirements: This tool will face/ square 0.188" to 1.0" outside diameter tubing with a wall thickness of up to 0.2". This tube squaring tool must use an OD Saddle Clamping System for holding and rounding the tube. The tool must accept its own torque through the Saddle Clamping System. The standard Saddle Clamping System requires a straight length of tube 0.875" long. Automatic clamping can be provided using a pneumatic clamping system. Speed control must be provided with a variable speed electric drive or pneumatic drive motor. Feed is to be provided by a lever action with a microfeed system providing an accurate controlled feed of 0.001". This tube squaring tool must be able to shave/ resize a V-22 Titanium Tube after the tube has been bent. The trimming must be able to be done in close proximity (0.875 inch) to the last bend. The Tube Squaring Tool must include: • 110V Motor Assembly • Wrench • Carrying Case • Operators Manual All corporate and proprietary information should be so marked and will be fully protected to the extent allowed.

The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI or otherwise pay for the information solicited. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of submission of responses to this RFI and Government use of such information.
