There is no mold available from the U.S. Government or previous manufacturers. Forming molds for the fuel tank used by previous manufacturers have been lost or destroyed. The Government recognizes that the design is old and that new production processes and materials could lower the unit cost and improve tank performance. Critical design characteristics are the exterior dimensions of the tank, the location and thread size of the drain hole, and the location and thread size of the fuel take out head. It is desirable that the fuel filler cap interface dimensions be retained. The Government will consider bids with alternative designs that meet the constraints listed above, and meet the tank performance requirements when installed in the end item as described and implied by the Technical Data Package. This requirement is suitable for competitive acquisition. The Government has unlimited rights to the technical data, and the data package is complete. Technical Data Package List (TDPL), Government furnished drawings and Procurement History will be furnished upon request. This acquisition is subject to Availability of Funds, Firms that can recognize and can produce the required item described above are encouraged to identify themselves to the Contracting Officer, and provide supporting evidence which will permit their participation in the current or future requirements.
