The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 333618 and Small Business size standard is 500 employees. The Government intends to award a firm-fixed pri ce Purchase Order for 12 Dynamometer Engine Test Stands for 6 different types of operational engines supplied by the Government. These are the minimum requirements and specifications for the Dynamometer Test Stands to be built or manufactured. The Dynamom eter Test Stand will be used as a training aid to assist the instructor to validate the task performance to standards. This training aid is required for the proper troubleshooting procedures and to provide a more realistic training with the capability of performing the diagnostic testing on a running engine. The use of this equipment lowers the overall risk level to the Government by not having to pull engines out of vehicles while maintaining the current hours of instruction. Purpose of the Dynamometer: The Dyno is used to simulate the road test that is expected out in the field after students perform the maintenance repairs. Minimum required features on the Engine Test Stands: 1. Portable, heavy-duty engine test stands that can withstand the vibration a nd torque of the engine and be moved easily to different locations within the shop facilities. Requires having removable casters to make it stationary when in used. 2. No open source of water is available. The Dyno cooling has to be a closed loop system pa rt of the test stand. 3. The control panel needs to include as a minimum the following reading capabilities: torque gauge, load control system, inlet temperature gauge, outlet temperature gauge, hydraulic pressure gauge (DYNO specific), oil pressure gauge , coolant temperature gauge, ignition switch, throttle control, fuel control (Pounds per Square Inch (PSI)), emergency shut off and charging gauge. 4. The engine needs to be powered up by batteries on the stand as well as a Direct Current (DC) (24V) exter nal source through a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) jack. 5. Engine fault panel (electrical, air, fuel, charging, mechanical) with toggle switches and warning lights need to be incorporated as part of the test stand to induce specific faults fo r diagnostic training performance of our students. Each fault panel must be unique to each Engine. Schematic of all faults need to be included with the Dyno. 6. The fuel tank needs to be on the test stand (minimum 15-20 gal). 7. Electronic throttle cont rol required per engine specification. 8. Glow-plug power supply and support required. 9. The testing of all of the engines at the vendors test site will be under Government supervision or subject to Government approval. 10. Customer Owner's Manual for each dynamometer to include parts listings, and On-Site Training required. 11. Technical support is required onsite, phone, email and 24 hour. 12. Delivery of first three units in 120 days based upon the receipt of complete operational engines - QUOTE EN GINE STANDS WITH AND WITHOUT OEM ENGINES. 13. Vendor to pick-up engines from the Government and deliver them installed in test stands and provide turnkey process - stand ready to operate. 14. One-year warranty required with technical support and service proposal following one year. 15. Student observation platforms are required. 16. Engines are to be retrofitted to allow for frequent disassembly and adjustmen t by students. 17. Safety features covering noise, vibration and Hazmat. 18.
