61 -- MULTI-CONDUCTOR WIRE SOL F0470094B0005 DUE 030795 POC Teresa Weber, Contract Specialist, (805) 277-3900 ext 2260; John Lemacks, Contracting Officer, (805) 277-3900 ext 2253; or fax (805) 258-9670. The Phillips Laboratory has a requirement for multi-conductor wire. This wire is required for instrumentation buildup and shall be delivered to Building 8460 at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The contractor shall provide 72 conductor (12-6) #22 AWG wire and 48 conductor (24-2) #22 AWG wire for cable instrumentation transmission. Each conductor shall consist of 10 strands of #30 AWG tinned copper wire with .020 inch of polyethylene insulation. Each 6 conductor sub-cable for the 72 conductor wire shall be wrapped with .0010 inch aluminum backed mylar tape with aluminum side out. Drain wire shall be #22 AWG laid between shield and .030 inch outside PVC jacket. The 6 conductor sub-cables shall then be cabled together to make the prime cable with an overall minimum of .030 inch outside PVC jacket. Each 2 conductor sub-cable for the 48 conductor wire shall be wrapped with .0010 inch aluminum backed mylar tape with aluminum PVC jacket. The 2 conductor sub-cables shall then be cabled together to make the prime cable with an overall minimum of .030 inch outside PVC jacket. The overall jackets shall be colored black. The sextet jackets for the 72 conductor wire shall be color coded as follows: black, white, red, green, orange, blue, black w/white tracer, black w/red tracer, black w/green tracer, black w/orange tracer, black w/blue tracer and black w/black tracer. The 6 conductors contained in each jacket shall be in the order of black, white, red, green, orange and blue. Each sextet shall be wrapped with .0010 aluminum backed mylar tape, aluminum side out. The pair jackets for the 48 conductor wire shall be color coded as follows: black, white, red, green, orange, blue, black w/white tracer, black w/red tracer, black w/green tracer, black w/orange tracer, black w/blue tracer, white w/black tracer, white w/red tracer, white w/green tracer, white w/orange tracer, white w/blue tracer, red w/black tracer, red w/white tracer, red w/green tracer, red w/orange tracer, red w/blue tracer, green w/black tracer, green w/white tracer, and green w/red tracer. All pairs of conductors shall be color coded black and white. Each pair shall be wrapped with .0010 aluminum backed mylar tape, aluminum side out. A #22 AWG stranded copper drain wire shall be laid between the shield and overall jacket of each pair. Electrical requirements: insulation resistance shall be held to a minimum of 10,000 megohms per 1,000 feet between conductors or conductor to shield. The capacitance between conductors and shield (with other conductors and shields tied together) shall be less than 75 MMF per foot. The Length of Lay shall be a maximum of 15 X Diameter of layer, lay of each layer reversed from preceding layer, outer layer to be left hand lay. The overall jacket shall have a tight and true fit for forming a uniform shaped cable. The lengths of all cables shall be supplied on reels, and shall be one continuous length of at least 1000 feet per reel. The reels shall be of suitable design to protect the cable during handling and rolling. The cables shall have both ends exposed so that it can be readily tested without unreeling. The cable ends shall be secured to prevent unreeling and the ends shall be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the cable. The reels shall be clearly marked as to the contents and length. Mil standard requirements: All polyvinyl chloride must meet MIL-W-16878. All polyethylene must meet MIL-D-3054 and LP-590. This requirement is 100% set aside for small businesses. SIC Code: 3496. Size Standard: 500 employees. Telephone requests to be placed on the mailing list will not be honored. See Numbered Note(s): 1. (0030)
