Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR, Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation FE481912419100 is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). This synopsis/solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 01-01 and Defense Acquisition Circular (DAC) 91-13. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541330 with a size standard of 500 employees. This procurement has been set-aside for Small Businesses. Tyndall AFB plans to procure a hydraulic supply system (hereafter referred to as the cart) to supply hydraulic fluid per MIL-H-5606 to a pair of radar test benches each having a hydraulic powered electronic unit under test. The cart must be compatible with existing equipment meeting Hughes Corporation specifications PS5126503. The cart will provide hydraulic power to two test benches with independent controls and monitoring for pressure and flow for each test bench. The two sets of controls, monitors, and outputs shall hereafter be referred to as side A and side B. The cart consists of the following major sub components: a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger, motor-pump assembly, reservoir, filter system, side A and side B controls and monitors. All components, valves, fittings, seals, gaskets, heat exchangers, lines, etc. shall be compatible with hydraulic fluid per MIL-H-5606. Piping, fittings, seals, valves, gaskets, etc. shall be installed to minimize hydraulic fluid leakage. Drip pan or pans shall be located within the cabinet and all leakage will be directed to a common location, removable by an accessible drain plug. High quality workmanship shall be employed in the construction of the cart. The system cabinet, access panels, control panels, connections (for utilities, drains, output/return), etc., shall have a neat, professional appearance while in operating and non-operating modes. The chart shall be designed to require minimum maintenance. Items requiring periodic maintenance and/or monitoring shall be readily accessible and be duly noted in the operation manual. Internal plumbing within the cart shall be constructed such that pump removal, and replacement does not require the hydraulic fluid to be drained. In addition, provisions shall be made to provide for draining of the hydraulic fluid. Each of the above items shall be readily accessible. Acoustic shielding shall be provided (if necessary) to assure overall noise levels do not exceed 85 dB as measured at any point three feet from the cart. The cart shall be enclosed in a single cold-rolled steel cabinet suitable for laboratory operation. The cart will be mounted on four swivel casters, at least four inches in diameter, each with locking brakes and locking swivels. The cart shall operate from a 208 volt (+-10%), three phase, 60 cycle (+-5%), 4 wire power source. Electrical loads within the cart shall be arranged to provide a balanced load on the voltage supply. The control circuitry shall operate on no more than 125 VAC power supplied by the cart. The cart shall be capable of dissipating any heat created by the hydraulic pump and/or other components within the cart. It shall dissipate this heat into a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger that will be supplied with chilled water at no more than 1 gpm at a temperature no greater than 54 degrees Fahrenheit and a pressure no great than 50 psi. The hydraulic fluid flow rate shall be 2 gpm maximum upon demand for each of the two outputs. Actual flow rate will be intermittent depending on activity of the unit under test. No reverse flow through the unit under test shall be permitted. The hydraulic fluid temperature shall be adjustable between the limits of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and 130 degrees Fahrenheit. During steady state operation, hydraulic fluid temperature shall be maintained within +-10 degrees Fahrenheit of the selected temperature. An interlock system shall be provided to prevent the heater from operating when the pump is turned off or if any other subsystem failure is detected. Output pressures from Side A and Side B shall be adjustable from 2500 to 3000 psig by manually set pressure regulators. Hydraulic fluid return pressure shall be adjustable from 40 psi to 165 psi (100 psi nominal or 2 gpm flow) for Side A and Side B. The cart shall limit hydraulic fluid supply pressure to the unit under test to a maximum of 3300 psi by use of a bypass pressure relief valve capable of handling the pumps full flow. The cart shall have provisions to fully relieve the pressure from either Side A or Side B output/returns lines while the other output Side is still operating at full capacity. This is needed so that any operator can remove the UUT heat load from one output side without disrupting the operation of the UUT head load on the other output side. The contractors shall provide all equipment, tools and labor necessary to delivery and install the cart. On site testing and training shall be included. Warranty: The contractor or manufacturer's standard commercial warranty shall apply. Responsibility and Inspection: The supplier is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements and Quality Control. Offerors must submit a technical description of the item being offered (2 Copies) in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with this solicitation. This may include, but is not limited to, product literature, pictures and schematics of the Cart, and terms of expressed warranties.
