FlaringAndBeading_PN_344144367000.docx

This is a technical specification document for a Flaring and Beading Machine (Part #344144367000) that accompanies a Sources Sought notice from GSA Federal Acquisition Service. The machine specifications require a floor-mounted, pneumatically operated unit capable of squaring and deburring (0.25 to 3 in OD), flaring (0.25 to 3 in OD x 0.125 wt), and beading operations (0.25 to 0.375 in OD for 0.035 wt and 0.5 to 1.5 in OF for 0.065 wt). Technical requirements include variable spindle speed of 300-1750 RPM, 3 HP motor, 75-100 PSI air supply, and a cabinet stand with tooling shelf. Physical dimensions are specified as 36" length, 26" width, 46" height, with a weight of 750 lb.

The associated Sources Sought notice (47QSWC25N0100) seeks market research for Flaring Machining, Shearing Machining, and Beading equipment for multiple CONUS locations. GSA is evaluating potential vendors under NAICS codes 333517 and 333994. The agency requests capability statements limited to three pages and specifically prohibits pricing information in responses. Key objectives include understanding vendor interest, identifying potential implementation issues, and determining if solutions can be provided via open market contractors. No formal RFQ exists at this time, and responses are for market research purposes only.
