DESCRIPTION: Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) is seeking potential sources interested in providing all necessary labor, supervision, equipment, supplies, and materials to rewind an 83K horsepower motor stator. It is anticipated the contract will contain a base contract line item requirement with one option for increased quantity. The base bid includes documentation of the existing stator, removal of the existing windings, and ELCID testing of the existing stator core. The option includes rewinding of the stator core per OEM drawings (and accepted deviations), repainting the stator frame, and post assembly testing. Statement of Work 14424-18-004 has been prepared and is included for reference for complete details on this Request for Information. OBJECTIVE: It is anticipated that the contract will be a Firm Fixed Price contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this effort is 335312 - Motor and Generator Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 Employees. INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS: Respondents must include the following information within their statement of capability packages. Capability packages may contain single or double spaced text, but shall not exceed 20 single-sided pages in length a. Company Information: - Company name - Address - Point of Contact with email address and telephone number - Federal Cage Code - Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) and business size pursuant to NAICS - Web page URL - Status as U.S. or Foreign-Owned Entity (if foreign, provide country of ownership) Your company must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).

Include the contract number(s) or customer/company name. c. Interest in this requirement as a Prime or Subcontractor. d. Documentation regarding experiences and qualifications to rewind motor stators greater than 50,000 horsepower OR rewind power generation stators rated for greater than 50 megawatts. e. Information regarding estimated time to complete the effort for the initial requirement and the option portion of the contract. f. Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate for unit cost, and schedule of significant events. g. Are there specific requirements in SOW 14424-18-004 that would currently preclude or discourage your company from being a viable source for this requirement? h. Would any components of the system be manufactured outside of the Unites States? If so, provide country and applicable trade agreement authority. i. Describe your company's capabilities and experience in delivering engineering drawings, specifications, and supporting documentation. Identify what software programs are utilized to generate these data products and what formats are available for delivered items. j. What is the minimum and maximum dollar value for a project upon which your firm would routinely consider submitting a proposal? k. What information does your company expect to need in order to rewind the 83K horsepower stator which is not included? What assumptions would have to be made in order to propose on this effort? l. When do you believe the Government acceptance buy off would occur (state in days from contract award)? m. Given the opportunity to see the available workspace, would you like to gain access to the stator and the building it which it currently is stored prior to providing a formal proposal? Please be aware that the Government will not provide multiple site visits. n. Is your company able to comply with applicable laws and standards for removal of lead based paint and for handing existing winding insulation which may contain asbestos (i.e. OSHA, EPA)? o. Would you be more likely to attempt to rewind the stator in place at AEDC or do you anticipate transporting the stator offsite for rewinding? (The SOW is written to allow either option). p. The SOW as written gives custody of the old copper windings to be removed to the Contractor. Would the reclaimed value of the copper be a cost consideration when formally bidding this effort? q. The acceptance test for insulation resistance requires that each phase shall be greater than 2,000 megaohms. Do you anticipate a problem with the ability of new insulation to pass this test for the stator assembly since it will not have been "baked in" by continuously running the motor for a long period? If this acceptance criteria is problematic, please describe why and suggest an alternative resistance value. If it is not problematic, please describe why and indicate what insulation resistance value you might normally expect? r. Commerciality Questions: 1.) If you offer this item to both U.S. Government and commercial customers, is the same workforce used for both the U.S. Government and general public? 2.) Are your manufacturing processes offered to both U.S. Government and commercial customers under similar terms and conditions? Briefly describe any differences. 3.) Will your company accept the terms and conditions identified in FAR Clause 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions -- Commercial Items ? <http://farsite.hill.af.mil>.
