- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is to extend solicitation (N0042120Q0074) closing response date from 2 December 2020, 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time to 4 December 2020, 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time, and to address questions pertaining to this requirement. Please see technical questions and answers below: Question: Are accessories required? The request is for a lifting bag and makes no mention of a compressor, inflation hoses, condensate traps, pneumatic controllers. These items are all required as part of a system. Are these items you already have from an existing system? We would need OEM information (model#, specifications, etc) if we need to attach to an existing system or do you want KUNZ to quote a complete system? Answer: We would want a complete system, hoses, controllers, etc. Question: Aircraft application? Since the bag/bags should be used at PAX River and afloat, is the primary application for fighter jets, transport, UAV, trainers? Are you able to share specific aircraft models? Answer:�(V22) Question: Lift bag capacity? Page 4 mentions the capacity: �Aircraft lifting bag system shall be capable of handling a maximum aircraft weight of 52,600 lbs� Since you are only looking for one lifting bag and potentially two more if the option is exercised, do you only want to cover incidents like one MLG or NLG collapsed incidents. These are situations where only one bag is required and it would therefore reduce the capacity needed. As the price is mainly affected by size and capacity and the award will be made based on �lowest price technically acceptable� we would need more info in regard to required capacity of one lifting bag. As mentioned previously, it�s unclear what is meant by a �system� and also whether this already includes the possibly exercised options. Answer: System would be utilized for single, or multiple landing gear failures. �I.e. Nose gear failure, Main mount failure, or all three landing gear failure. �Total aircraft weight is 52,600 LBS, If a single nose gear fails, you can do the calculations of what weight the bag should withstand. Question: Landing velocity decent rate? Page 4 also mentions the following: �Aircraft lifting bag system shall be capable of handling a maximum landing velocity decent rate of 360 feet per minute� � What does this mean? How will this bag be used considering this context? Another statement is �aircraft lifting bag system shall withstand prop-rotor downwash wind speeds of up to 100mph for 5 minutes prior to landing of the aircraft�. These are confusing statements considering how lifting bags are used in normal recovery situations. Can you provide more information as to how these bags will be used? Answer:� We would not be using these bags for just lifting. We intend to land a V22 on them from a slow descending hover. U.S. Government ~ Tax Exempt All quotes/responses shall be submitted via email to Johnny.e.Smith1@navy.mil or Roberta.Nethercutt@navy.mil no later than 4 December 2020 by 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. � Solicitation N00421-21-Q-0074 is issued as a competitive procurement.� The Government intends to purchase on a firm fixed-price basis, and to solicit and award the proposed purchase order on a competitive basis, under the authority implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR Part 12 and FAR 13.� Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management Registration (SAM) database prior to submission of an offer to be considered for award of any DOD contract.� This may be accomplished electronically at http://www.sam.gov.
