This pricing will be used as a standing price quote for a period up to and including the next twelve months. Bar coding will be required. Inspection will be at origin. Delivery 90 DARO. The present requirement is : 5120-00-240-5364 for 1620 EA. 5120-00-240-5364 UI: EA HANDLE, SOCKET WRENCH DESCRIPTION In accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B107.10M- 1996. Type: 1 Class: 2 Drive End: 3/8 inch. EXCEPTION(S) TO TECHNICAL DOCUMENT EXCEPTION TO ANSI B107.10M HANDLE, RATCHET, REVERSIBLE. The ratcheting mechanism shall not be capable of being bypassed by inadvertent positioning of the shifting lever, button or knob such that the handle moves freely in either direction of rotation about the drive tang. COATINGS: Delete all specified coating/plating requirements and substitute the following: The tool shall be electroplated with a nickel (Ni) coating followed by either a hexavalent or trivalent chromium (Cr) coating. There shall be no other coatings or undercoatings on the tool. If trivalent chromium is used as a coating, the percentage of iron in the trivalent chromium shall not exceed sixteen percent. The coating thickness requirements are as follows: Nickel (Ni) = 0.000200 inches or greater Chromium (Cr) = 0.000007 inches or greater Within each surface area as indicated on the attached figure, one measurement of the thickness of each electroplated coating shall be conducted in accordance with any of the following, as appropriate, methods: ASTM B 487: Standard Method for MEASUREMENT OF METAL AND OXIDE COATING THICKNESS BY MICROSCOPICAL EXAMINATION OF A CROSS SECTION ASTM B 499: Standard Test Method for MEASUREMENT OF COATING THICKNESS BY THE MAGNETIC METHOD: NONMAGNETIC COATINGS OF MAGNETIC BASIS METALS ASTM B 504: Standard Method for MEASUREMENT OF THICKENESS OF METALLIC COATINGS BY THE COULOMETRIC METHOD ASTM B 530: Standard Test Method for MEASUREMENT OF COATING THICKNESS BY THE MAGNETIC METHOD: ELECTRODEPOSITED NICKEL COATINGS ON MAGNETIC AND NONMAGNETIC SUBSTRATES ASTM B 568: Standard Test Method for MEASUREMENT OF COATING THICKNESS BY X-RAY SPECTROMETRY ASTM B 748: Standard Method for MEASUREMENT OF THICKNESS OF METALLIC COATINGS BY MEASUREMENT OF CROSS SECTION WITH A SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE ASTM A 754: Standard Test Method for COATING THICKNESS BY X-RAY FLUORESCENCE Visible contact marks resulting from electroplating operations shall be confined to the interior of the wrenching and drive openings. Surfaces of the electroplated tool shall be adherent, smooth, continuous, and free of visible defects, such as blisters, pits, roughness, cracks, and uncoated areas. Surfaces shall not be stained or discolored and shall have a bright appearance. The electroplated tool shall be clean and free of damage. The tool shall be tested for adhesion of electroplated materials in accordance with ASTM B571, Standard Test Methods for Adhesion of Metallic Coatings, by one of the following methods: Grind-Saw, Push, File, or Burnishing. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS Delete all specified Quality Assurance Provisions and substitute the following: Sampling for inspection and testing. Sampling shall be in accordance with ANSI/ASQC Z1.4-1993, Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes. The sample unit is one item. A. Examination for design, dimensions and workmanship. The Inspection Level shall be S-2 with an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 4.0 percent defective. B. Tests. The Inspection Level for tests shall be S-2 with an AQL of 4.0 percent defective. CYCLIC TEST FOR RATCHEING MECHANISM: The tool shall withstand a cyclic test of 500 cycles in each direction of rotation at 1,080 inch-pounds minimum torque load. The tool shall withstand a 1,800 inch-pounds minimum torque load following the cycle test. The tool shall withstand the test loads specified without permanent angular distortion of more than 5 degrees and shall show no indication of damage or adverse effect. In lieu of performing the cycle test, the contractor may provide written certification with evidence that the design, materials, and manufacture of the tool to be provided under the contract is identical to a tool that has passed the cyclic test. The Government reserves the right to accept the contractor's certification or to require the contractor to perform the cyclic test. If the design, materials, or manufacture change during the course of the contract, the contractor shall perform the cycle test. WORKMANSHIP Details of workmanship shall be in accordance with the best commercial standards and practices. Paints, coatings, platings, and finishes shall be smooth, dry, adherent, continuous, and not stained or discolored. Fasteners shall be firmly secured and show no evidence of deformation, cross threading, or hazardous burrs. Adhesives and lubricants adequate for their intended purpose shall be properly and neatly applied. Adhesives shall be adequately cured. Wires and cables shall be neatly dressed and shall not be frayed or in contact with sharp edges. Wire and cable insulation shall show no evidence of burns, abrading, or pinch marks. There shall be no interference, binding, or galling of parts. External and bearing surfaces shall be free of tool and gouge marks, nicks, or other surface imperfections. The item shall be clean and free of corrosion and debris (e.g., chips, shavings, slivers) or other foreign material. The item shall be free from manufacturing workmanship defects (e.g., loose, missing, binding or misaligned parts, sharp or rough external edges, corners or surfaces) and material workmanship defects (e.g., pits, rips, fins, burrs, tears, nodules, cracks, blisters) which may adversely impact the item's serviceability, durability, safety, or appearance.
