- Sources Sought Template (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: Janet Butcher /409 SCMS/GUMAB TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Request for Interested Manufacturers NSN 1650013033736 / Side Aft Cargo Door Hydraulic Cylinder Assembly for C5 Galaxy Aircraft SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the C5 Galaxy aircraft side aft cargo door hydraulic cylinder assembly NSN 1650013033736 / Part Number 0260172. ITEM DESCRIPTION The side aft cargo door hydraulic cylinder assembly is used on the two Air Force C-5C Space Cargo Modified (SCM) Galaxy aircraft. This item is a double acting hydraulic actuator that is used to open and close the side aft cargo door. The cylinder assembly operates at 3000 psi, with 4500 psi proof pressure and 7500 psi burst pressure. It is compatible with MIL-PRF-5606 and MIL-PRF-83282 hydraulic fluids. The actuator is 39 inches long when retracted and has a 25.4 inch stroke and 3 inch nominal bore. Full design, inspection, test, and qualification requirements for the actuator are described in Air Force drawing 4H90244. Impediment to Competition: The original equipment manufacturer for this item was York Industries, Inc. (CAGE 81616). On September 20, 2011 York Industries, Inc. was closed and the new company, Wellman Dynamics Machining and Assembly, Inc., under Fansteel was established. The only thing that changed was the ownership and legal business name, all other areas of the business remained unchanged. The physical location is still the same, 706 Willow Springs Lane York, PA 17406, and Wellman Dynamics Machining & Assembly, Inc. maintains ownership of York Industries proprietary data. Wellman Dynamics Machining and Assembly, Inc. maintain its configuration by part number. The Government does not own manufacturing data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Wellman Dynamics Machining and Assembly, Inc. is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the side aft cargo door hydraulic cylinder assembly performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Wellman Dynamics Machining and Assembly, Inc. for the manufacture of the side aft cargo door hydraulic cylinder assembly in support of the C-5 Galaxy aircraft. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 21 Sep 2016 by emailing janet.butcher@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
