About this file

This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for solicitation 26-SIMACQ-E60-0007, a Gear Assembly Reverse Engineering contract (N6339426Q4026). The document addresses inquiries from potential contractors regarding eligibility, technical specifications, and available documentation.

The solicitation is a HUBZone set-aside, which means only firms meeting HUBZone certification requirements are eligible to participate. Small Minority Business certification and ITA certification do not satisfy the specific set-aside requirements. The contract requires reverse engineering of five gears: four straight-cut gears used in a linear actuator and one worm gear used to engage a handwheel for manual extension and retraction of the actuator. The gears are subject to torque loads ranging from 5 to 160 foot-pounds, with the 3rd and 5th gears from the left experiencing the highest torque due to gear reduction. Photographs of the gears have been provided for contractor evaluation; however, no 2D drawings are available for the gears, requiring contractors to develop specifications and designs based on the visual reference materials and reverse engineering analysis.

26-SIMACQ-E60-0007 Gear Assembly Reverse Engineering - N6339426Q4026

1. We are Small Minority Business Firm in Atlanta. We are ITA Certified can we be added to participate in the solicitation?

While your status as a Small Minority Business and your ITA certification are valuable for other opportunities, they do not satisfy the specific requirements for a HUBZone set-aside.

2. We also need to see pictures of the gears for evaluation.

3. What kind of gear ( helical vs strait )?

Straight

4. What are the gears used for?

Four of the gears are straight cut gears used in a linear actuator, and 1 worm gear used to engage a handwheel to manually extend or retract the actuator. They are subject to anywhere from 5 to 160 ft lbs of torque, depending on their position in the gear train. The 3rd and fifth gears from the left are subject to the most torque due to the gear reduction ahead of them.

5. Forgot to ask if they had any 2D Drawings of all of the gears and pass on our into to the team.

No, we don’t have drawings.
