J -- AIRCRAFT HYDRAULIC TEST STANDS SOL F41608-97-R-13003 POC For copy, Fax request to LDKS at (210)925-1073, For additional information contact Aquiles, T./ldksh/[210]925-4801 Request for Information on Commercial Sources for Aircraft Hydraulic Test Stands. 1. The Government is hereby issuing a request for information (RFI) to investigate and identify commercially available aircraft triple and dual sub-system hydraulic test stands, trailer-mounted, in both diesel powered and electric powered configurations to be used for ground checking and maintenance of aircraft hydraulic systems. 2. The triple sub-systems unit test stands shall have a hydraulic system capable of generating a total flow rate of 90 gpm at 3000 psi, 80 gpm at 3250 psi, 66 gpm at 4000 psi, and 45 gpm at 6000 psi, deliverable to three independently controlled sub-systems. 3. The dual sub-systems unit test stands shall have a hydraulic system capable of generating a total flow rate of 106 gpm at 3000 psi, 98 gpm at 3250 psi, 80 gpm at 4000 psi, and 53 gpm at 6000 psi, deliverable to three independently controlled sub-systems. 4. Each sub-system (for both the triple and dual stands) shall be capable of delivering 60 gpm at pressures ranging up to 6000 psi. The test stand shall be capable of controlling each sub-system's circuit flow from 1.5 gpm to 60 gpm with sub-system pressures ranging from 500 to 6000 psi. 5. Component commonality between the triple system and dual system designs shall be not less than 80% and between the electric and diesel versions is not less than 85% 6. The diesel engine shall meet emission standards being phased in over time by horse power classes for new engines as addressed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency Nonroad Engine Rule (NER) promulgated on 17 Jun 94. 7. The triple sub-system hydraulic test stand's intended use is for the F-15A-E and F-4 aircraft. The dual sub-system hydraulic test stand's intended use is for multi-aircraft, including the F-16,B-1B,B-2,C-17, and F-22. 8. The purpose of this announcement is to survey the commercial industry for commercial off-the-shelf units with capabilities addressed herein. 9. We are seeking information on current, existing commercial units which meet the indicated performance parameters. 10. Request that those firms who have commercial units submit copies of any commercial literature, test reports, or other literature, which would substantiate any test performance claims, production capabilities, product supportability, maintainability, and the ability to provide world-wide service and parts support. 11. A copy of the Purchase Description (PD) will be supplied to those firms who submit written requests for the PD. 12. The Air Force will not accept questions on performance parameters. Our objective is to determine if pre-existing commercial units already exist for the performeter parameter as outlined in the PD. The cutoff date for the submissing of data attesting to commercially available triple and dual system hydraulic test stands is 07 Feb 97. 13. This announcement is not a solicitation. Please send all information to Terry L. Aquiles, Contracting Officer, SA-ALC/LDKSH, 485 Quentin Roosevelt Road, Ste 7, Kelly AFB, TX 78241-6456, (210) 925-4741, FAX (210) 925-1073. No specifications nor drawings are available for the commercial requirement. No telephone requests. Only written or faxed requests received directly from the requestor are acceptable, include cage code. THE AIR FORCE IS NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THE PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS OF THIS UNIT. No telephone requests. Only written or faxed requests received directly from the requestor are acceptable. (0010)
