- Description
- MOD: This is amendment 001 to the synopsis/solicitation N00019-04-R-0148 for procurement of an extended cargo rail system for the V-22 that originally appeared in the CBD on Thursday May 27, 2004. The purpose of this amendment is to notify potential offerors of an extension to the original proposal due date of 22 June 2004 to 29 June 2004. ORIGINAL: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the 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 separate written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation Number N00019-04-R-0148 is issued as a request for proposal (RFP). The incorporated document and provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2001-22 & 23 effective 5 May 2004. It is anticipated that a Firm Fixed Price contract will be awarded. This is not a small business set-aside. The applicable NAICS code is 336413. The contract line item numbers are: CLIN 0001 Extended Cargo Rail System for V-22 (Qty: 2 shipsets). Development, fabrication, and delivery of two ship sets of an Extended Cargo Rail system for test and evaluation. Drawing packages of the ramp attachment channel will be provided upon request. Options: CLIN 0002: - drawings, CLIN 0003: 2 ship sets of external cargo rails (for testing). Non-developmental (NDI) equipment is highly desired. 1) General Requirements: a) The cargo rails are mission equipment and will be carried in the aircraft. No stowage provisions are required. b) The cargo rails should mount to the aircraft ramp using a means similar to that of the H-46 cargo system (drawings provided upon request). c) Designs shall not require Group A changes (e.g. aircraft attachment locations and methods, aircraft structural load paths). d) The system shall be capable of carrying up to 5,000 lbs over an 88-inch running length. e) Special attention shall be given to minimize the weight, need for hand tools, handling requirements of the system. f) Workmanship shall be in accordance with high-grade aircraft practice and of quality to insure maximum safety, proper operations, and design service life. 2) Basic Roller Rail Extension Requirements: Extensions shall have the capability of accepting a wooden warehouse pallet loaded on non-contiguous runner boards. a) The spacing between individual rollers shall take into account the actual versus nominal non-contiguous runner spacing for typical 40x48 wooden warehouse pallets. A four-inch center to center would be preferred. b) Extensions shall be manufactured from lightweight material capable of holding up to 5000 lbs of cargo spread over a running length of 88 inches or 2500 lbs spread over the non-contiguous runners of the 40x48 pallet. c) Extensions roller material shall provide smooth movement of the pallet load with minimal amount of human force to push the pallet in the event the winch is unavailable. Roller material and type that are current installed on the V-22’s new cargo handling system (Aircraft 19 and subsequent) are preferred (aluminum crown barrel bearing rollers). d) The extensions shall integrate a fully adjustable “flip-up” style pallet guides. Minimally the adjustment, per side should be a 7 –inch adjustment in 1-inch increments. Total adjustability is from 40 inches to 54 inches wide. e) Extensions shall be stabilized with the use of “spreader” type bars, which, when locked in place, restrict movement laterally. Spreader bar locations shall allow for an 88-inch long pallet to be loaded with a forklift directly onto the extensions without interference of the bars on the forklift tines. The “spreader” type bars shall be integral to the rails to reduce the opportunity for lost equipment. f) Removable ramp interface brackets with a design similar to those of the H-46 system shall be used in the design of the rail system. Upon attachment into the V-22 ramp, the extensions shall lock in place for positive restriction of movement in all directions. g) The extensions shall be nineteen feet in length. 3) Specific Roller Rail Extension Requirements: a) Cargo Ramp Roller Rail Extensions shall utilize interlocking means to prevent misalignment of attachment to the ramp. b) Mechanical Lock Pins can be used (although not desired) where necessary to minimize the need for hand tools, special tools or procedures. c) Since the extensions will be used in an austere environment the ability to quickly disengage extensions from the ramp is also desired. d) Each extension shall provide three tiedown ring locations, one forward, one aft and one approximately mid-span, for fastening of the beam to the aircraft floor during flight. e) All labeling of installation locations shall be etched and painted. Labeling of spreader bar adjustment locations should be provided to ensure concordance with ramp mounting locations. 4) Priced Options:- a) Priced option for drawings b) Priced option for 2 ship sets of external cargo rails (for testing). The contractor shall deliver CLIN 0001 with all standard commercial support documentation and equipment manuals no later than 30 August 2004 to the following address: Hangar 109 Suite 2A, 22474 James Rd., Patuxent River, MD 20670 Attn: Mark Schroeder.
