DTNH22-95-R-01164 POC Henrietta R. Mosley, Contract Specialist, (202)
366-9570 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
intends to solicit and negotiate a contract with Uniroyal Goodrich Tire
Company for a base year period and three (3) option year periods for
the purchase of Uniroyal Tiger Paw Plus, ASTM Standard Reference Tires.
The proposed effort will require building Uniroyal Tiger Paw Plus ASTM
Standard Reference Tires E1136, black sidewall, one ply polyester cord
carcass, two ply steel cord belt material, standard range. These tires
are to be used as the Course Monitoring tires in the Uniform Tire
Quality Grading Standards, Part 575.104. Specifications: (1) The tread
compound of these tires must be of current state-of-the-art recipe,
but must contain no natural rubber. (2) They are to be built
consecutively from single supplies of raw materials. (3) Tread stock
must be from a single masterbatch. (4) Identical molds giving the same
anti-skid tread depth must be used. The basis of acceptance for these
tires by NHTSA is that the average Coefficient of Variation (Cv) of
the wear rate for a representative sample of the tires be less than
five percent (5%). The average CV will be determined from the wear
rates of 4 tires on a single car. The definition of CV is: Standard
Deviation of wear rate of 4 tires divided by average wear rate of 4
tires times 100. The wear rate is determined according to Part 575.104,
uniform tire quality grading standard, paragraph (3), Treadwear Grading
Conditions and Procedures. Other interested parties believing they can
provide the necessary labor, materials, facilities and personnel to
furnish the items set forth above must respond to this announcement
within fifteen (15) days after its appearance in the CBD. Responses
must include a capability statement describing facilities, personnel
and other features showing how the above stated requirements would be
met. This is not a request for proposal nor is an RFP available. All
capability statements submitted will be considered. In the absence of
responses from firms who believe they have the capability to perform
this requirement, or if no affirmative offers are received within the
time specified, herein, negotiation on a sole source basis will
commence with Uniroyal-Goodrich Tire Company. In responding to this
notice, please contact Henrietta R. Mosley on (202) 366-9570 and refer
to NEF-30-5-01164. (0125) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0191 19950508\26-0001.SOL)
