About this file
This document contains vendor questions for Solicitation FA857125Q0083, which involves the procurement of an industrial oven for baking life rafts. The key requirements include an oven with 7' x 7' x 6' interior dimensions, a maximum temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and an operating temperature of 130 degrees. The oven must accommodate two 6' x 3' x 4' wooden dollies, each weighing approximately 100 pounds, and capable of holding life rafts made of urethane-coated nylon with a total batch weight of around 200 pounds.
The vendor questions address critical specifications such as chamber floor strength, volatile materials, and temperature classification. The respondent notes inconsistencies in the documentation regarding AMS 2750H temperature class (Class 1 vs. Class 2) and the positioning of the furnace and oven. The primary purpose of the oven is to make life rafts more malleable before packing by baking them, with the equipment needed to be large enough to hold multiple dollies while maintaining precise temperature control. The solicitation is issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, with quotes due by 1:00 PM EST on 19 May 2025.

Industrial Oven
Vendor Questions
• Can you please find out the dimensions of the largest workload item being tested and the weight of the same? I will need the dimensions and weight to properly specify the strength of the chamber floor.
6’ x 3’x 4’ Wooden Dolly with life raft contained inside Chamber floor needs to be able to handle 2 of these Roughly 100lbs per dolly
• What is the process the oven is being used for? (for example…curing paint on steel, drying water from aluminum, etc.)
o What are the parts? (for example, large steel structure, small aluminum engines, etc.)
o What is the part material?
o What is the maximum weight of parts in the oven during a single batch?
o How is the oven being loaded? How will the parts be sitting in the oven?
o Are there any volatiles or solvents in the oven? If so, we need to know the maximum amount during a single batch. (This piece of info is critical to know and understand)
The oven will be used to bake life rafts before packing them. The life rafts are packed very tightly. Baking them beforehand makes them more malleable and easier to pack without damaging the raft. Life Rafts are made out of urethane coated Nylon.
200lbs max weight roughly
Parts are wheeled in on dollies and remain in the dollies while inside the oven.
Volatiles or Solvents: Just the urethane coated nylon material the life rafts are made of.
• Can you please let me know the size and weight of the largest item that will be tested in the chamber? Our sub vendor needs to know this information to properly specify the floor strength. Can you please provide the test article dimension and weight?
6’ x 3’ x 4’ and 100lbs. Need to fit two of these in the oven at one time.
• Can you please confirm whether any volatiles, solvents, or combustible materials will be present in the oven during operation?
Life Rafts are made of a urethane coated nylon. I believe urethane would be considered volatile
• Is the 1200F oven chamber meant to be AMS 2750H Class 1 (+/- 5F) or is it meant to be Class 2 (+/- 10F)?
o 1.1.3 (in P.D.) states it is to be Class 1 whereas 1.4.1 states +/-10F which is Class o Can the furnace be on top and the oven on the bottom?
o 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 (in P.D.) state furnace on bottom and oven on the top. That is the opposite of what is typically and how we make dual chamber furnaces.
We don’t need a high temperature furnace. The oven we need should be large with 7’ x 7’ x 6’ interior dimensions with a max temperature of 200 degrees Farenheit and operating temperature of 130 degrees. 1200F is way over what we need.
