49 -- HYDRAULIC SEROVALVE TEST STANDS SOL N00019-99-R-1452 DUE 050999 POC Christine M. Cullison, Contract Specialist at (301)757-8977, Contracting Officer is John C. Ulmer at (301)757-9062 E-MAIL: ERROR --, CullisonCM@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Systems Command is seeking sources for a commercial off-the-shelf Hydraulic Servo Test Stand for a lease/purchase. The test stand shall be commercially available test stand manufactured to perform computer-aided build-up, calibration and final acceptance testing of aircraft hydraulic servovalves and manifold assemblies. The test stand shall be designed to support the overhaul, repair and testing of flight control servovalves, four-way flow control and three-way pressure control servovalves, single, multistage, and other proportional servovalves and brake and antiskid servovalves, and brake, antiskid manifold assemblies and small actuators. The test stand shall provide the operator with on screen graphic assistance for set-up of either flapper-nozzle or jet-pipe first stages and final assemblies. Pass-fail analysis of final acceptance testing shall be performed by the computer and displayed on the CRT monitor. All test and build-up operations shall produce test plots that comply with Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard ARP490. A laser printer shall be provided to print all build-up and test data plus pass-fail analysis. The test stand shall have a floor footprint of less than 60 inches by 100 inches and a weight not to exceed 1200 pounds. The operator shall be able to operate the test stand from a seated position at the workbench and with the monitor at eye level. The audible noise level at the operator's position shall not exceed 84 dBA. The test stand shall flow Mil-H-83282 or Mil-H-46170B hydraulic fluid at a maximum 20 gallon per minute flow rate at pressures up to 4000 psig. The test stand shall have a 6000 psig static pressure capability. The test stand shall include hydraulic fluid filters of 5-micron nominal rating. The test stand hydraulic system shall include one each flow measurement cylinders of .006 to 3 gallon per minute and .04 to 30 gallon per minute flow rates with b-directional accuracy reading of 12%. The flow measurement system shall comply with SAE standard ARP490. Pressure measurements shall be 0 to 6000 psig with an accuracy of 0.5%. The hydraulic system manifold should be machined to include a series of rotary shear seal, zero leakage, valves which configure the required test circuit for the servovalve under test. The test stand shall include a kit built into the test stand to provide for tests of F-18 aircraft hydraulic servovalves.. The kit shall include a power supply for linear variable differential transformer frequencies, circuit cards to handle the multiple frequencies of the servovalves; test manifolds and sink setups including tubing and valves. The rest stand shall include other required parts to perform tests on the sevovalves. The test stand should include software to test F-18 aircraft hydraulic servovalves: (a) Part Number 222806070-004 (mfg: H R Textron); (b) Part Number 22280680 (mfg: H R Textron); (c) Part Number 268193 (mfg: Moog); (d) Part Number 72086 (mfg: Abex); (e) Part Number 72097-02 (mfg: Abex); and (f) Part Number 975148-5 (mfg: Abex).The test stands are planned for the Naval Aviation Depot in Jacksonville, FL. The Navy is seeking qualified sources to provide a lease/purchase arrangement for the test stands. Interested parties should send a brief letter expressing their interest, ability to provide such a commercial product, two copies of any literature on the product; and their company type and size business to Department of the Navy, Assistant Commander for Contracts, Naval Air Systems Command, AIR-2.4.3.2, Building 441, Unit 7, Naval Air Station, Patuxent River, MD 20670-1127, not later than 30 days from the date of this notice. This action is being classified under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 3825, indication a concern including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts and having less than 500 employees as a small business. This synopsis does not constitute a sealed bid, nor a request for proposals. This synopsis is not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Posted 04/09/99 (W-SN318107). (0099)
