- Description
- This is a sources sought request for commercial items. Due to sensitivity of this project, the fragmentation film specification and proper, experienced application of the specialized fragmentation film is paramount. The vendor must have some form of documented performance record of success with high risk/threat areas within the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. All qualified companies, please submit performance documentation, to include where performance was accomplished, technical specification information, along with business size to ROICC, Bldg 307, 2nd Floor, NAS Fallon, NV 89496-5000. Point of Contact is Lisa Eyrich 775-426-3206 or alternate Belinda Bratcher 775-426-2926. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: The Fragmentation Retention Film (FRF) being sought shall be an optically clear polyester, polyethylene terephthalate, or a composite. It must be multi-layered or factory laminated and include an abrasion resistant coating on the exposed surface. The film shall have an optically clear, weather resistant, pressure-sensitive adhesive that shall contain ultraviolet (UV) inhibitors that prevent 95 percent of radiation between 300 and 380 nanometers. The adhesive shall not be water activated. A water-soluble detackifier and/or release liner may be used over the adhesive to make film application easier. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE: As a minimum level of performance, the film must pass American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z97.1 OR CFR Title 16, Part 1201, Category II impact tests. These tests include samples that have a simulated 1-year exposure to sunlight and UV radiation. TEST SAMPLE: For the purposes of the test, the film should be attached to a piece of 1/4-inch thick flat glass conforming to the requirements of ASTM C 1036, Type I, Class 1, Quality q3. PASSING CRITERIA: After the impact portion of the test, satisfactory performance of the test specimen is determined using ANSI 797.1, paragraph 5.1.3 or CFR Title 16, Part 1201, paragraph 1201.4(e) on the interpretation of results. To be acceptable for use as FRF, the manufacturer must provide a statement that the film satisfactorily performed according to ANSI Z97.1, paragraph 5.1.3(1), (3), or (4) or with CFR Title 16, Part 1201, Paragraph 1204.4(e)(1)(I), (iv), or (v) without tearing. TENSILE STRENGTH: The tensile strength of the film shall be 25,000psi minimum. THICKNESS: Minimum thickness should be based upon design requirements. Ten-mil film is recommended for most applications. PEEL STRENGTH: The peel strength should be a minimum of 4.7 pounds/inch for 7-mil and thicker films. OPTICS AND TINT: All film, regardless of color, should be optically clear from the inside to ensure an undistorted view through the glass. Color, tint, and reflectivity, when required, shall be specified by the requiring activity. The amount of reflectivity of solar radiation is specified as a percentage. FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE DENSITY: When required by life safety or local building codes, the requiring activity shall specify a flame spread rating and a smoke density rating for the film. The film should not exhibit a flame index exceeding 25 and a smoke density index exceeding 100 when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84. For the purpose of testing, the specimen should be mounted to 1/2-inch thermally tempered glass. MANUFACTURERS QUALIFICATIONS: The film shall be a standard product of the manufacturer and intended for the purpose described in the specifications. Only films designed for fragment retention will perform in an acceptable manner. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: The Contractor shall ensure the manufacturers cleaning instructions are provided, as many cleaning compounds are not compatible with film. WARRANTY: The film shall have at least a 7-year warranty against cracking, crazing, delaminating, peeling, or changing color. INSTALLATION: Installation of FRF for new construction is not required. Retrofit Application: Film can be installed beyond the frame edge to improve retention characteristics of the glass panel. However, any extension of the film past the inner frame edge will require at least partial frame dismantling. For this application, the glazing should be removed and the film applied to the outside edges of the glazing material, which extended into the frame bite. If dismantling is too expensive, the requiring activity may require a daylight application where the film is applied to within 1/16 inch of the edge of the visible glazing. FILM SPLICE: The film may be spliced or lapped when a glazing dimension exceeds 60 inches in either direction. All seams or splices shall be applied with a butt joint. For windows with seams, catch bars should be placed at 90 degrees to the seam direction. For installation where smash-and-grab theft is also a concern, seams should always be horizontal. VISUAL INSPECTION: Within 30 days of application, the adhesive should be 95 percent cured. No water bubbles, foreign particles, or excessive distortion shall be visible when viewed by the unaided eye from a distance of up to 10 feet from the interior room side at angles up to 45 degrees. APPLICATION: This film is attached directly to the glass surface. FRF shall be applied on the interior of windows for protection from the effects of spalling. For double-glazed units (insulated glass), apply the film to the room (protected) side of the innermost frame. Specify that the film must be applied in strict accordance with the manufacturers application instructions. If the film is used on double-glazed units, film anchorage on two sides is strongly recommended to improve glass retention of the unprotected outside glazing. QUALIFICATIONS OF PERSONNEL: Personnel applying or supervising the application of the FRF shall be certified by the film manufacturer. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: The film will not be applied if there are visible dust particles in the air, if there is frost on the glazing, or if any room conditions such as temperature or humidity do not meet the manufacturers instructions. The manufacturer must be informed about the environment the film must withstand, such as exterior atmosphere, solvents, chemicals, or excessive humidity.
