- Questions and Answers for RFI0007 – VOR Antenna RFI As of 2 July 2008 1. 16 June 2008 Question: Under the description it states c/kc-135 VOR antenna is becoming unsupportable? Please clarify that statement. Also, is this just for a quote or a real requirement? Answer: The current antenna is out of date and therefore it is being impossible to keep them in working order so we are looking to replace them altogether. The notice you are looking at is only a Request for Information (RFI) is not a request for quote. We are simply looking for information before we do a request for quote. 2. 19 June 2008 Question: Will vendor be provided the following tools, (or tool drawings, or vendor to manufacture?) i. Tool for part -12066-1, tool 736105 ii. Tool for part -12066-3, tool 736108 iii. Tool for part -12066-5, tool 736111 iv. Tool for part -12066-7, tool 736114 Answer: Yes these tools are Government owned and stored in a warehouse. They will be provided to the contractor as Government Furnished Property. 3. 19 June 2008 Question: Where are drawings for Radius Blocks TS888G250B0556B & TS888G275B0350B that are part of this component? What is the specified material if different from the basic -12066? Are there drawings available for the Radius Blocks TS888G250B0556B & TS888G275B0350B (ref drawing 14060-12065)? Answer: These are a radius block made by a L-3com standard. TS888G250B0556B is a Radius block with a thickness of.250 inch, a width of 2.5 inches (dimension X), with one radius of the thickness (.250), a height of 5.56 inches (dimension Y), and a finish of epoxy primer. Material to be made of 7075T651b per specification QQ-A-250/12. TS888G275B0350B is a Radius block with a thickness of.250 inch, a width of 2.75 (dimension X), with one radius of the thickness (.250), a height of 3.5 inches (dimension Y) and a finish of epoxy primer. Material to be made of 7075T651b per specification QQ-A-250/12. Tolerance for Dimension X is +-.01 and Y +/-.03. 4. 19 June 2008 Question: 14060-12064 Rev-B a. As these mirror image parts appear to be castings – will the molds or mold DWGs be provided, or will these parts be quoted separately b. Raw material is specified as 7050T7451 to AMS-4050 i. Is it rational to consider machining out of block material as an alternative for small quantities? ii. If so what are alt permissible alloys? Answer: These parts are machined out, not made from castings. The No permissible alloys for this project were identified. The possibility of rust or corrosion is significantly increased if a substitute alloy is used. In the prototype, these adapters were made to have the antenna’s parallel to one another. It is recommended to use a 5 axis milling machine. The ones installed were manufactured on a 4 axis milling machine; however the company performing the prototype is experienced in building parts in this manner. 5. 19 June 2008 Question: 14060-12063 Rev-A a. This material is specified as 7075T6 CLAD, clad with what and how thick? Answer: 7075T6 is the aluminum to be used. Standard industry CLAD procedures are acceptable with regards to thickness and application. 6. 19 June 2008 Question: 14060-12062 Rev-B a. Will vendor be provided the following tools, (or tool drawings, or vendor to manufacture?) i. For the -1 & -5 parts Tool S/N 736086 (Vendor P/N 8620-07-D-30400011) Note 7 ii. For the -3 & -6 parts Tool S/N 736102 (Vendor P/N 8620-07--30400011) Note 8 Answer: These tools are in a government warehouse and will be provided as Government Furnished Property.
