- The Department of Interior, National Park Service, is seeking interested sources that can produce a replacement wheel for a historical locomotive located at Golden Spike National Historical Site near Brigham City Utah. The NAICS code for this procurement is 333511, with a size standard of 500 employees. The contractor will be required to furnish and install onto a provided existing axle, one wheel cast from AAR-M-107/M-208:2011 class C cast carbon steel. The pattern and core boxes will be provided by the National Park Service, hereafter referred to as NPS and are to be returned to the NPS upon completion of the casting process. The NPS will provide the existing axle. Any damage to the wheel pattern or repairs to the pattern required for completion of this project will be the responsibility of the contractor. The pattern must be returned to the NPS in a condition suitable for future use. The casting process shall utilize no-bake core sand that has not been recycled. Delivery schedule: Upon notice to proceed from the contracting officer, the NPS will supply the pattern to the contractor and the casting process may commence.
