J -- MINUTEMAN/PEACEKEEPER LAUNCH SOL F42610-95-R-BBBBH POC For copy, Richard Heinze/Lmka/(801)777-4891, For additional information contact Richard Heinze/Lmka/(801)777-4891 This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis. The following information is provided to do a Market Survey of Industry to determine potential contractors, in addition to American Electronics Inc., who have the skills, experience and knowledge required to successfully complete this effort,: Minuteman and Peacekeeper Launch Facility (LF) and Launch Control Facility (LCF) Motor-Generators (M-G's) are to be Repaired and Modified ( NSNs 6125-01-034-3374AH, NSN 6125-00-539-0330AH, 6125-01-309-5870AH and 6125-01-309-5687AH). Work load requirements will be variable and could vary from zero to 25 units per quarter. The contractor shall receive, disassemble, inspect, test, fault isolate, perform maintenance and modify as required to restore the unit to the latest serviceable configuration. Repairs will require metalizing, sleeving, welding, cadmium plating, machining, rewinding, balancing, electronic modules/subassemblies dis-assembly/assembly and other repairs to return the components and equipment to drawing dimensions and updated configuration. In order to maintain alignment of the single motor and generator shafts and prevent electrical knocking, extremely tight machining tolerances and precision assembly are required. Special test equipment which can warm-up, burn-in, fault isolate and acceptance test the repaired motor-generators is required. This requires variable dc supplies over ranges of 32.25 + 6.25 vdc and 162.65 + 25.85 vdc and a three phase variable ac supply with voltages from 82 to 132 volts and frequencies of 55-65 Hz. Loads banks of: a 60 Hz 7.5 KVA single phase at power factors from 0.5 lagging to 1.0 and 8.3 KW at 0.5 and 1.0 power factor, a 400 Hz 7.5 KVA three phase at power factors from 0.5 lagging to 1.0, a single phase 5 KW full-wave rectified load for the 60 Hz M-G output, a three phase 5 KW and 2.6 KW full-wave rectified load for the 400 Hz M-G set output, a 60 Hz single phase load capable of operation up to 3.75 KW at unity power factor for warm up and burn in and a 400 Hz three phase load bank capable of operating up to 3.75 KVA at unity power factor for warm up and burn-in. An ambient cooling air supply at 32 LB/min per minute is required for LCF motor-generators. An electronic test bench is also required for testing electronic modules and subassemblies. Measurement and recording of M-G vibration (displacement and velocity) is required. The test equipment must measure and record each ac input phase voltage, frequency and current, the dc input voltage and current and each output phase (both 60 Hz and 400 Hz) voltage, current, and frequency. A computerized data collection system is required to collect, store measured data and printout at end of the testing. The Motor-Generators are unique to the the Minuteman and Peacekeeper Weapon Systems for supplying an un-interruptible operational source of power to Missile Launch Control and Launch Facilities. The LF M-G units weighing 2130 lbs. consist of a 120/208 volt, 3 phase, 4 wire, 60 Hz induction ac motor and a 32 volt, 13.5 HP dc motor combined on a single shaft to drive an ac generator with an output voltage of 120/208 volts ac (+2%), 3 phase, 4 wire, 380 to 435 Hz with a power output of 7.5 KVA at any power factor from 0.5 lagging to unity. The unit incorporates an electronic control box which monitors both input frequency and voltage and transfers the motor to dc in the event ac power goes out of tolerance. The LCF M-G units weighing 3050 lbs. consist of a 120/208 volt, 3 phase, 4 wire, 60 Hz induction 27 HP ac motor and a 28 to 36 volt, 27 HP dc (Type I) motor or a 160 volt, 27 HP dc (Type II) motor combined on a single shaft to drive 60 and 400 Hz generators. The 60 Hz generator produces 60 Hz, 1-phase, 120 vac power. The 400 Hz generator produces 400 Hz, 3-phase, 120/208 vac power. The control enclosures, contain an electronic voltage regulator and a motor-generator control assembly. The voltage regulator contains a 400 Hz regulator, 60 Hz regulator, filters and connectors. The motor-generator control contains an undervoltage monitor, an underfrequency monitor, power contactors and connectors. The two monitor circuits sense the ac input voltage and frequency and allow switching to dc power if ac input power is out of tolerance. Potential contractors must provide written verification and documentation of capabilities and facilities to perform the required repair, modification and testing efforts. Verification should include a detailed description of similar equipment past and present that has been successfully repaired and a detailed list of equipment to accomplish the required efforts. A detailed description of methods and procedures for quality control is also required. Any other information which is indicative of the offerer's capability to successfully perform this repair will be accepted. The government does not intend to contract on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for the information solicited. Release or distribution of your response will be approved by the contracting officer. It is suggested that small business firms or others interested in subcontracting opportunities in connection with the described effort make contact with the firm listed. All interested, responsible, qualified offerors should submit two copies of a written response to: Richard Heinze, OO-ALC/LMKA, 6014 Dogwood Ave., Hill AFB, UT 84056-5826, no later than 10 working days after publication of this notice. No telephone or FAX requests will be accepted. (0195)
