17 -- JIB HOIST POC Robert Bohacs, LSO-360, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32815. Lockheed Space Operations Company (LSOC), a NASA Prime Contractor at Kennedy Space Center, FL (KSC), seeks sources capable of providing jib hoist fabrication and assembly consisting of an assembled jib hoist, electrical control system, pendant assembly and linear rail mount structural platforms. The jib hoist is approximately 7 feet in height with an 11 foot - 6 inch boom and weighs 1,000 lbs. The material is aluminum and steel. A single structural test stand is also a deliverable item. The control system requires installing PLC's, motion controllers, power supplies, etc. into commercially available electrical cabinets. The pendant assembly consists of assembled control pendants and pendant plug-in stations. Components to be installed in the commercial off-the-shelf pendants are two joysticks, a touch screen, and printed circuit board with power supply. The linear rail mount structural platform involves the production of structural steel platform sections for mounting linear bearing rails that the jib hoist rides on. The successful offeror will furnish all materials except the linear bearing rails, which will be furnished as Government-Furnished Property (GFP) along with other long lead items on the other subassemblies. The structural platforms are constructed of steel plate and tubing and are approximately 4 x 6 x 17 feet long. The successful offeror shall have the ability to fabricate, assemble and inspect in accordance with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (ANSI Y14.7), and possess expertise in structural steel fabrication, precision machining, welding and inspection, painting, mechanical assembly and electrical work. There will be a final acceptance test consisting of erection of the test stand at the contractor-s facility, physical proof and motion testing of each hoist, installation of one hoist onto the test stand and system connection/verification low-level functional testing. Indications of interest should be submitted to reach LSOC by 053195. Also submit, in duplicate, capabilities information in sufficient detail to establish bona fide capability to meet the requirements set forth herein.
