About this file
This is a Vendor Frequently Asked Questions document addressing inquiries related to the procurement and installation of double-sided lifting equipment for handling Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs). The government is replacing six 2-post lifts, configured as three double-sided units, each comprising two 2-post lifts connected together with independent controls on each side. Each lift side must maintain a 5,000-pound lifting capacity, totaling 10,000 pounds per double-sided unit. CFTs weigh 2,125 pounds each. Vendors are permitted to utilize customizations from the current lift configuration. The government will provide existing crates for equipment storage, and the vendor is responsible for disassembling and packing the lifts into these crates, which will be delivered to the site prior to disassembly commencement.
A discrepancy exists between the new lift drawings and existing fixture drawings regarding pin diameters. The government has clarified that it prefers to use the existing pins to secure the fixture rather than requiring the vendor to modify the assembly to match the new lift's pin specifications. No response deadlines, award dates, pricing terms, or federal agency identification are specified in this document.

Vendor Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
“Can any custom from current configuration be used?”
- Yes, that is perfectly fine.
“How much does a CFT weigh?”
- 2,125lbs
“Can you verify that the total amount of 2-post lift sets to be replaced is actually six (6)?”
- Yes, (6) is the actual number of 2-post lifts. We have been referring to them as (3) double sided lifts. That means each double sided lift is comprised of 4 posts in all (Two 2-post lifts connected together). One side of each double-sided lift holds a Left-Hand Conformal Fuel Tank and the other side holds a Right-Hand Conformal Fuel Tank. Each Double-Sided Lift is basically just two 2-Post lifts flipped around to pickup from the outside and connected together at the top. This makes each side of the lift act like a counterweight for the other side. I imagine the vendor will do a similar configuration to what we have now. Both sides need to have independent controls from one another. So yes, 6 two-post lifts (3 for left hand CFTs and 3 right hand CFTs).
“Can you provide specific requirements/standards for palletization of these lifts?”
- I found out that we do still have the crates we used to store the Car Lifts in a while back.
So the government will provide crates. The vendor will be responsible for packing the disassembled lifts into the crates. I’ll make sure the crates are on site before disassembly starts.
“What is the lifting capacity of the lift?”
- Assuming they will be installing a similar style Double-Sided Lift like we have now, each side should hold a 5,000lb lift capacity. That would be 10,000lb capacity in all.
1. We also discovered a discrepancy between the drawings for the new lift and the drawings provided (see attached jpeg). The diameters for the pins are different sizes.
a. “Will USG be capable to modify the assembly that attaches to the lift to match the pin size of the new lift? Or will we be able to use the old pins to secure the fixture?”
- We would like to use the same old pins to secure the fixture
