This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) Solicitation Number F1W3FA2096A001 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). (iii) The solicitation document, incorporated provisions, and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-58. The DFARS provisions and clauses are those in effect to DCN 20120420 effective 20 April 2012. (iv) The applicable NAICS code is 339994, Broom, Brush, and Mop Manufacturing, with a size limitation standard of 500 employees. This competition is unrestricted. (v) Snow Bristles. The following is required: CLIN 0001: Svenska Industri Borstar/Swedish International Brush (SIB) SIB/MB 18/28-05 Broom Bristles; 2 brooms per set; 1 Set = 1 Each Quantity: 52 Each Price shall include shipping FOB Destination to JBER, AK 99506 Please see Attachments 1-3 for detailed diagrams of descriptions. The bristle replacement sections shall be no more than 33 inches in length and all sections shall be of the same length. They shall be made of a molded reinforced plastic designed to eliminate and guarantee against distortion of the cassette section. The core shall have plastic wear inserts inside each track to eliminate any wear to the body (structure) of the core itself. These plastic wear inserts shall be easily replaceable-snap in design. The design of the core shall be such that the tip to tip bristle diameter will be approx 46 inch +/- ½ inch. There shall be 20 rows of bristles equally spaced. The core (s) shall be dynamically balanced and designed to eliminate bouncing and vibration. There shall be a polyurethane formed (molded) cup, which extends up the length of the tuft no less than three inches for support. The distance between the center of each cup shall be a maximum of 41.5 mm. This formed cup shall have vertical risers of the same material to hold the upper rings of polyurethane in place and strengthen the cup. The cups shall be molded in a way that every four cups are interconnected from the base to the top of each cup by the same polyurethane material that the cups are made of. Each tuft shall consist of 140 pieces of zinc coated steel wires with a quality grade of "C". The wires shall be electro-galvanized, hard drawn crimped steel and exhibit a high fracture resistance, bent in a "U" shape and held in place "in the cup" by a 1/8 inch diameter steel rod that runs the full length of each cassette section. The bristles shall be suitable for use in temperatures seen at the altitude of the airport and be guaranteed for a period of one year and one full use of the bristles down to the maximum wear Each cassette section shall contain 20 tufts of.045mm wires as described above. The length of each tuft shall be 11 inches from the top of the cassette strip to the tip of the wire bristles. The cassettes shall be designed to eliminate any possibility of the bent wire tufts from distorting the cassettes during storage that could be up to two years. The supplier shall guarantee that this distortion will not occur. The distance between the tufts is important for better sweeping action at full angle and most important when the broom head is at less than full angle. The reinforcement between the cups adds rigidity to all four of the cups / tufts which will reduce the bending movement while sweeping and give a better flicking action. These replacement cassettes shall be guaranteed to fit in the SIB core properly and have the OEM approval to not void the warranty on the core, which is 5 years from the date the runway broom was placed in service. They shall also be guaranteed to not void the sweeper manufacturer's warranty, as any damage to the core may cause damage to the drive system and frame work of the sweeper. Each set shall consist of the proper amount of cassette sections to fill the entire core. The cores used on this broom shall be of the cassette style. The design shall allow easy replacement of worn bristles and replacement with new. The core shall be primarily manufactured from aluminum to reduce weight, yet have the strength necessary to perform as needed under normal conditions.
