- The Government intends to procure 20,000 feet of shore power cable, THOF-500E, and 20,000 feet of shore power cable, THOF-500 Enhanced Plus, in accordance with FAR 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. The solicitation will be procured as a 100% Small Business Set Aside. The size standard is 500 employees and the NAICS code is 335931. The proposed requirement will be awarded under a Firm Fixed priced contract for base year plus 2 option years. The performance period will begin on 01 October 2010. The Government will award a contract resulting from the RFQ to the responsible offer whose confirming to the RFQ will be advantageous to the government. Following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (a) Technical (b) Past Performance (c) Price. See the Solicitation for full details. Partial Specifications are as follows: item 1001 - Provide three 500 kcmil phase conductors under a single jacket. This specification exceeds the requirements of MIL-C-915/6J as specified by MIL-HDBK-1025/2 and OPNAVINST 11310.3B. Conductor: Flexible 500 kcmil tin coated copper, Class I (1221 strands) minimum, with unidirectional lay-up and optimized lay lengths. Conductor Separator: Non-hygroscopic opaque polyester, two mils thick. Insulation: Thermosetting 90 degrees C EPR meeting Type I (see Table 3-1) requirements of ICEA S-75-381 except the minimum tensile strength shall be 1200 psi. The minimum average insulation thickness shall be not less than 90 mils. The EPR insulation shall pass the UL 44 Long Term Insulation Resistance Test in 75 degrees C water. Color coding to be black, white, and red achieved by the use of colored insulation. Use of colored tapes is not permitted. Insulated conductors shall have a released agent applied to prevent the outer jacket from adhering to the insulation. There shall be no adhesion between the phase conductor insulation and the jacket. Assembly: The three conductors are twisted with an optimum lay length. Except for a center extruded rubber rod filler, no other fillers are permitted. No assembly binder tape is to be used. Jacket: The outer jacket shall be black flame retardant, extra heavy-duty thermoset material other than neoprene, specially formulated for high tear strength and good cut through resistance meeting ICEA S-75-381. The minimum average thickness shall be not less than 235 mils. The jacket is to be mold cured, two layers reinforced, filling the cable interstices. The two layers are to be applied in a single process; thereby, ensuring the adhesion of the layers. The reinforcement material shall be a suitable synthetic material. The mold release agent shall not contain silicon or wax. The jacket shall be compatible with, and shall not chemically react with, Stycast 2741 potting compound. The jacket shall have minimum tear strength of 40 lbs./in when tested in accordance with ICEA S-75-381 paragraph 6.4.13.7. For the complete specification see Solicitation N00189-09-T-0020. Partial Specifications are as follows: item 1002 - Cable, Shore Power, THOF Enhanced, 600 Volt, 500 KCMIL, 3 Conductor ( Note: The NSN 6145-01-008-5468, referenced herein is the same BASIC Cable as the one the requestor has specified here, but there are enough characteristic deviations, and standards enhancements, that the standard stock number item, falls too far below grade and spec changes, to be usable as a substitute.500 3/C 600V ENHANCED THOF CONDUCTOR: 500 KCMIL (37 x 33 /.0201 ) 1221 TINNED COPPER.CLASS 1 UNDIRECTIOAL LAY-UP, MAXIMUM RESISTANCE: 23.8 OHMS/1000FT AT 25 DEG C SEPARATOR: 2 MIL WH1TE MYLAR PULLED LONGITUDINALLY, CONDUCTOR INSULATION: 90 MILS (MIN AVE.)
