- 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. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is W911W6-12-T-0006 and is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). Under this number, the Army Contracting Command (ACC) / Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD) intends to award only one firm-fixed-price contract. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-57. The applicable North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) code is 333515. The small business size standard is 500. The Aviation Applied Technology Directorate intends to purchase work holding devises needed to operate recently purchased 5-axis computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling machines. This procurement shall be sourced as a single procurement from one vendor that can meet all requirements. The work holding devises shall meet or exceed the following minimum requirements. Vises: (Qty 29) vises shall be supplied measuring a minimum of 125mm wide x 12 inches long. All vises shall have a 12-inch clamping capacity, shall be self-centering with a positional repeatability of +-.0002 and shall be constructed of hardened and ground steel with a clamping force capability of up to 20000 Newton meters. All vise jaws shall contain a maximum 1/8"deep step at the top of the vise jaw and be equipped with serrations along the top of the vise jaw to allow secure clamping on 1/8" of raw stock material. The remaining surface of the same set of vise jaws must also have a flat smooth ground face to allow clamping on finished surfaces of stock. The flat ground face of vise jaws must have a minimum smooth ground clamping depth of 1 inch. All vise jaws shall be reversible to allow 12.00 inches of clamping along the length of vise. All vises shall be able to be configured with an interchangeable lead screw to allow a single self-centering vise to be converted to a double self-centering vise with a fixed center jaw that will maintain +-.0002 positional repeatability. All vises shall be supplied with a handle to enable manual actuation of vise. Mounting plates: Mounting plates will be attached to 2 different sizes of existing machine tables to enable a vise to be attached to the mounting plate using round clamping studs mounted to the bottom of each vise. Clamping of the vise to the mounting plate shall be by manual actuation to activate a locking mechanism within the plate to secure the round studs to the plate. Existing machine #1 has (qty 7) machine tables measuring 500mm x 500mm each and must be outfitted with mounting plates. Mounting plates that will be attached to machine #1 must be sized to accommodate the 500mm x 500mm machine table and be able to be mounted to the table in such a way as to allow clamping of a 125mm wide vise in the center of the table and also allow for a double vise setup (using 125mm vises) by moving vises side to side without repositioning the plates that are mounted to the table. Mounting plates must be able to be used with riser devices. It is assumed that 5 mounting plates will be used for each of the machine tables on machine #1 (3 plates for mounting vises and 2 plates for mounting riser devises). Therefore, (qty 35) mounting plates will be required for machine #1. Machine #1 mounting plates must not exceed 500mm overall width when 3 mounting plates are mounted side by side on a 500mm wide machine table. Existing machine #2 has (qty 7) machine tables measuring 350mm x 350mm each and must be outfitted with mounting plates. Mounting plates that will be attached to machine #2 must be sized to accommodate the 350mm x 350mm machine table and be able to be mounted to the table in such a way as to allow clamping of a 125mm wide vise in the center of the table and also allow for a double vise setup (using 125mm vises) by moving vises side to side without repositioning the plates that are mounted to the table. Mounting plates must be able to be used with riser devices. It is assumed that 3 mounting plates will be used for each of the machine tables on machine #2 (2 plates for mounting 2 vises and 1 plate for mounting 1 riser devise). Therefore, (Qty 21) mounting plates will be required for machine #2. Machine #2 mounting plates must not exceed 350mm overall width when 2 mounting plates are mounted side by side on a 350mm wide machine table. (Qty 2) additional mounting plates are required for a wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) setup. These 2 mounting plates must be interchangeable with the other mounting plates supplied and have the same features to allow mounting of a 125mm wide vise via round clamping studs in the vise. All mounting plates shall be made of hardened and ground steel and have a +-.0002 positional repeatability. All mounting plates must be able to support a 125mm wide vise. All mounting plates must have a minimum of 4 counter bores for mounting the plate to a machine table. Riser devises: (Qty 21) Riser devises shall be supplied at a minimum thickness of 100mm. Risers must contain round clamping studs that protrude from the bottom of the riser to act as a manual locking device for supplied mounting plates, and have a +-.0002 positional repeatability. Risers must be configured to allow direct mounting of the riser to the top of the mounting plates and also allow mounting of vises to the top of the riser (via the round studs protruding from the bottom of vise). Risers that will be mounted to machine #1 must not exceed 500mm overall width when 2 risers are mounted side by side on a 500mm wide machine table. (Qty 14) rises are required for machine #1. (Qty 7) rises are required for machine #2. Round mounting plate for 4th axis mill setup: (Qty 1) round steel mounting plate shall be supplied with a minimum diameter of 6.75 inches to enable vises to be mounted to the round plate using the round clamping studs protruding from the bottom of vise. Clamping of vise to round plate shall be by manual actuation to activate a locking mechanism within the plate to secure the round studs to the plate. Round mounting plate must have a minimum of 2 counter bores for mounting the plate to a machine rotary table. Round mounting plate shall be made of hardened and ground steel and have a +-.0002 positional repeatability. Accessories: (qty 1) A Hydraulic stamping unit shall be provided with serrated jaws to stamp indentations on raw stock to match supplied vise jaw serrations (detailed in 1.0.4) to allow secure vise clamping on a minimum amount of raw stock material using the 1/8" step depth of the supplied vises. The Hydraulic stamping unit must exert enough force to allow stamping of stainless steel or aluminum raw stock. (Qty 1) extra set of serrated stamping jaws must be supplied with the Hydraulic stamping unit. (Qty 252) round clamping studs for vises and risers (assuming vises and risers have 4 studs each). NOTE: 252 qty allows for extra clamping studs for future in-house tooling. Delivery: The following items shall be delivered on or before March 23, 2012: (qty 35) mounting plates, (qty 14) 100mm height risers, (qty 14) 125mm wide x 12 inches long centering vises, and (qty 1) stamping unit. The following items shall be delivered on or before May 1, 2012: (qty 23) mounting plates, (qty 7) 100mm height riser, (qty 15) 125mm wide x 12 inches long centering vises, (qty 1) extra set of jaws to fit stamping unit, (qty 14 packs) clamping studs with 4 in each pack, and (qty 1) round mounting plate for 4th axis mill setup.
