- 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, a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is a request for quotations. This RFQ is issued under simplified acquisition procedures. This RFQ has one line item. The item being procured for AFRL/VASV, WPAFB is as follows: Build and deliver 1 lot of 4 squared HRG 600 VAC Units. Brand Name Justification per FAR 6.302-1(c) Brand Name: Squared I. Use: The SquareD HRG High resistance ground unit provides means to safely and efficiently apply power to the Next Generation Radiant heat system. This unit is required for maintaining proper voltage references on a three phase delta source without compromising the integrity or run time of our test operations. II. Purpose: The SquareD HRG unit is an essential fit to the reliability and maintainability required for our testing apparatus. All known competitors do not provide the reliability that AFRL/VASV requires. III. Minimum Requirements: Research indicates that the major competitors (GE, Cutler Hammer, Siemens) utilize an OEM Kit back plate,supplied by a third party manufacturer, mounted in their own enclosure. In some cases, the entire device is merely brand labeled. The decision was made to not pursue this design for the following reasons: 1-The Squared D design uses industrial grade components for the key devices that are required to make this device operate. The result is a higher initial cost, but a significantly longer life and reduced liability exposure. These HRGU units are typically used for production equipment where uptime is of the utmost importance and the costs associated with downtime or cleanup/rework due to undetected system problems is significant. Some examples of significant differences include: a-Industrial Grade Square D Type X Nema rated relays vs. Commercial Grade Ice Cube Relays and definite purpose contractors for control and pulsing circuits. b-Industrial Grade Square D Type 9001 pushbuttons in lieu of small commercial grade lights c-Industrial Grade Square D control power transformers with fused protection in lieu of small "self protected" (throwaway) transformers d-Nearly all components in our unit are Square D and are therefore easily sourced and replaceable e-Lockable industrial circuit breaker disconnect with alarm contacts to prevent the device from being removed from service by unauthorized personnel, and also to provide remote indication if turned off or tripped. f-Designed and manufactured by Square D in West Chester, OH facility which is also a local service facility g-Freestanding switchgear enclosure to provide durability and protection of the resistor for personnel safety. This is 100% small business set aside but the non-manfacturing rule is waived, so a Small Business can provide the product of a Large Business Manfacturer. The size standard for this effort is 500 employees.
