Repair John Deere Combine Draper Head Q&A

1) Can you tell us if there is an incumbent company? If so, can you please provide the previous awarded notice ID and the award amount? N/A

2) Can you provide a detailed list of the technical specifications that must be met by the Draper Header? We don’t have a service manual, all technical specifications should be included in the service manual. All certified John Deere servicers should have access to that information. All replacement parts are expected to be OEM.

3) Are there any compatibility requirements with existing equipment or systems (e.g., tractors, combines) that we should be aware of? This draper head is attached to the John Deere S660 combine. Any sensors on the draper head are compatible with the combine and communication systems within.

4) Are there any warranty or service requirements that need to be provided with the Draper Header? We would expect at least a 1 year warranty on any work performed.

5) Are there any expectations or requirements for ongoing maintenance support, either with John Deere or another vendor? Not any requirements known at this time, but we do expect to need future maintenance support for this machine, typical of all large machinery.

6) Are alternative bands or models considered acceptable or is the John Deere 360 Draper Header the only acceptable product? This product is already owned and needs repairs.

7) Can you give us the model & width? Model John Deere 630 FD HydraFlex draper header (Year 2013) as listed within the SOW, 30 foot flexible cutting platform.

8) We will need the serial number for this John Deere 360 Flexible Draper Header. Serial

#1H0630FDTE0765206
