48 -- COMBINATION PRESSURE REDUCING, SURGE CONTROL AND SOLENOID SHUTOFF VALVE SOL F44650-98-T0242 DUE 092798 POC 2Lt. Misty Holder, Contract Manager, 757-764-4775; Maj. Curtiss Stewart, Contracting Officer, 757-764-4737 E-MAIL: Click here to contact Contracts Manager, millicent.holder@langley.af.mil. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is F44650-98-T0242. This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 97-6 and Defense Acquisition Circular (DAC) 91-13. The standard industrial classification code is 3491-Industrial Valves and the small business size standard is 500. This procurement is being conducted as a total small business set-aside. This combined synopsis/solicitation is for twenty-eight (28) each four (4) inch combination pressure reducing, surge control and solenoid shutoff valves equipped with opening and closing speed controls, CLA-VAL model #90AF-4H-5A, or equal, identified in this RFQ as Line Item 0001. Each four (4) inch combination pressure reducing, surge control and solenoid shutoff valve is a normally closed solenoid/pilot operated flow control valve, which is typically used for simple (single stage) flow control at aviation fuel stands. The valve has five main features: solenoid shutoff, pressure reducing, surge control, opening speed control, and closing speed control. The valve is to be used with components of the Scully Signal Company Single Point Overfill Prevention System to be installed on aircraft fuel fillstands for the purpose of monitoring and limiting the transfer of fuel between the fillstands and aircraft refueling vehicles. More specifically, with regard to use of the valve with the Scully system, the control signal (120 VAC Hot) must pass through the two Scully Signal Company control unit relay output contacts (located in the single compartment overfill prevention control monitor, Scully model no. ST-15-ELK/D, part no. 08747; and the loading rack to refueler automatic self proving ground system, Scully model no. ST-47-115-ELK, part no. 08220) and then to the valve. When both the ST-15 and ST-47 are permissive, the valve will open. When either the Scully sensor is wet (overfill condition) or the ground to the refueler is lost, the valve will close. Alternately, if the fillstand has a start/stop pushbutton station for a loading pump, the control signal identified above is wired to this station (as a slave device) rather than directly to the valve. In this case, when both Scully units are permissive, the start/stop station will receive control power (AC Hot signal). When the start button is pushed, the pump will start and the control valve will open simultaneously. Delivery of the valves must be made FOB Destination on or about 15 Oct 98 in various quantities to Beale AFB CA 95903-1716, Cannon AFB NM 88103-5320, Mountain Home AFB ID 83648-5414, Shaw AFB SC 29152-5125, Barksdale AFB LA 71110-2284, Dyess AFB TX 79607-1793, Ellsworth AFB SD 57706, Whiteman AFB MO 65305, and Holloman AFB NM 88330.
