- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. FAR 13 applies. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation M67854-05-R-5169 is a Request for Proposal (RFP) and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-03 and Defense Acquisition Circular 91-13. NAICS Code is 336112. This is not a small business set aside. DPAS Rating is: DO. The purpose of this electrical lift actuator or ?actuator? is to lift a rocket rail to the appropriate launching angle for M58 munitions deployment. The actuator will be powered by ABV power, which is supplied by a 28 VDC generator and 24 VDC batteries meeting the requirements of MIL-STD-1275B. The actuator will be connected to that system by a powerline which may introduce up to 4.6 volts drop. The actuator shall be capable of providing 4400 lb peak force during acceleration, followed by a 3200 lb sustained force. The running velocity of the actuator shall be approximately 0.35 inch per second or greater (permitting a 10-inch lift to firing position within 30 seconds) with 19.4 volts applied to its terminals. Proportionately slower operating speed with lower voltages is acceptable, provided the actuator does not stall at an applied voltage of 13.4 volts (MIL-STD-1275B low battery condition less 4.6 volts line loss). Maximum current draw shall not exceed 40 amperes during the initial acceleration period. Maximum current draw during the sustained thrust period shall not exceed 35 amperes. Minimum extension shall be 26.5 inches, and the stroke shall be a minimum of 13.8 inches. The actuator shall not require a brake, but shall be capable of retaining its extension with power removed, while supporting a 3200 lb static loa! d plus a vibration load as specified by MIL-STD-810F (tracked vehicles). The bottom of the actuator shall have a tab and pin mechanical interface that mates to a CLEVIS, Drawing 82A5052A0108. The top of the actuator shall have a tab and pin mechanical interface that mates to a LINEAR ACTUATOR ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY, Drawing 10810007. Drawings package can be requested from Ms. Hake at 703.432.3693 or requested via e-mail from peggy.hake@usmc.mil. Maximum width measured parallel to the clevis pin shall not exceed 8.5 inches. Maximum depth measured perpendicular to the clevis pin shall not exceed 8.1 inches. The actuator shall be capable of operation in an ambient temperature of -25oF to +125oF (threshold), +150oF (objective). The actuator shall contain two limit switches that open upon minimum and maximum extension. The electrical interface shall consist of a terminal strip in a sealed junction box, and shall consist of motor power, limit switches (one common lead acceptable),and (if required to meet the temperature requirements) heater power not to exceed 0.5 ampere. The Government anticipates issuing an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) commercial contract to the successful offeror. Quantities and Period of Performance are as follows: Minimum 1. Maximum 65. Maximum ordering period 60 months. CLIN 0001, Electrical Lift Actuator, over packed with printed technical manual.

In making its "Best Value" determination, the Government will consider the evaluation factors in the relative order of importance, however, all factors will be significantly greater in importance than evaluated price with the importance of price as a factor in the final determination increasing with the degree of equality in the overall merits of the proposals. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations. FAR Clauses: 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications, (Beginning January 1, 2005, the Federal Acquisition Regulatio! n (FAR) requires the use of the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) in Federal solicitations as a part of the proposal submission process. ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage, and viewing of many of the FAR required representations and certifications previously found in solicitations. With ORCA, you now have the ability to enter and maintain your representation and certification information, at your convenience, via the Internet at http://orca.bpn.gov. In addition, rather than receiving and reviewing paper submissions, government contracting officials can access ORCA and review your information online as a part of the proposal evaluation process. You will no longer have to submit representations and certifications completed in ORCA with each offer. Instead, a solicitation will contain a single provision that will allow you to either certify that all of your representations and certifications in OR! CA are current, complete, and accurate as of the date of your signature, or list any changes. To prepare for this requirement and to register in ORCA, you will need to have two items: an active Central Contractor Registration (CCR) record and a Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) identified in that CCR record. Your DUNS number and MPIN act as your company?s ID and password into ORCA. (Visit www.ccr.gov for more information on creating and entering your MPIN). The basic information provided in your CCR record is used to pre-populate a number of fields in ORCA. Vendors are reminded to protect their MPIN from unauthorized use. Once in ORCA you will be asked to review pertinent information pre-populated from CCR, provide a point of contact, and answer a questionnaire that contains up to 26 questions. The questionnaire is to help you gather information you need for the clauses. The questionnaire is not the official version. Be sure to read the provisions caref! ully. The answers you provide are then automatically entered into the actual FAR provisions. You are required to review your information, as inserted, in context of the full-text provisions for accuracy; acknowledge three additional read only provisions; and click a time/date stamp before final submission. You will need to review and/or update your ORCA record when necessary, but at least annually in order to maintain its active status. Detailed information regarding ORCA, how to submit your record, and whom to call for assistance can be found on ORCA's homepage at http://orca.bpn.gov under Help). 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items, 52.212-5,Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders ?
