1.2 Scope. This Description for Purchase (DFP) describes a power unit and series of tool chests containing engineer tools to be used by the Army’s construction engineers and other military occupational specialties (MOS) with a need for such tools.

1.3 Abstract. The Hydraulic, Electric, Pneumatic, Petroleum Operated Equipment (HEPPOE) purchase configuration consists of two power units, tool chests and specified tool kit comprised of hydraulic, electric, pneumatic, and petroleum operated equipment. This purchase description depicts the essential characteristics and functions of the desired power units, tool chests and tool kit.

1.4 Background. The HEPPOE is a consolidation and optimization of the Hydraulic Electric

Tool Outfit (HETO) and the Pneumatic Tool Compressor Outfit (PTCO). Neither the HETO nor

PTCO are in production. The HEPPOE is specifically organized to provide the military construction engineer with the tools that it takes to perform the most common type of engineer tasks encountered during the execution of construction missions in a theater of operations (TO) or during contingency operations. The HEPPOE provides a selection of electric, hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel operated tools and special application tools to perform engineer tasks across the entire spectrum of the operations area such as construction, maintenance, and repair tasks on

Army Facilities Components System (AFCS) products; on existing facilities; on facilities camouflage; and for repairing battle damage. These engineer tasks support both Initial

Construction Standards (up to 6 months expected use) and Temporary Construction Standards

(up to 24 months expected use) within temperate, desert, tropic, and arctic climates. These soldiers may be found in TO&E construction units, civil affairs units, host-nation support units, or Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) contracted units. This Tool Kit is used by the Engineer Soldier in combat and construction engineers units in conducting repairs of buildings, POW holding areas, and water piping system, and construction and repair of airfields, and maintenance of buildings, roads and other items. The HEPPOE consists of two power units and storage and transportation chests from which work teams can withdraw a variety of pavement breakers, saw, drills, and supporting tools for use at dispersed sites.

3.5.1 Industrial quality tools. All components supplied with this kit shall be industrial quality.

For the purposes of this procurement, the term “industrial quality tools” versus household-use tool or general purpose tool is defined as tools commercially marketed and manufactured for constant, rigorous, industrial or professional environment use, and that have demonstrated market acceptance. Industrial quality tools are used primarily by skilled professionals and technicians in such areas as machine shops, automotive maintenance and repair facilities, aircraft maintenance and repair facilities, industrial automotive assembly plants, fleet maintenance facilities, and airline service facilities. The tools will be used for specialized applications in an environment of virtual constant use, (i.e. around-the-clock 8 hour shifts), with applications requiring high torque, low slippage, and strict tolerances. Industrial quality is demonstrated by evidence of substantial sales to industrial customers. Advertising or marketing literature that indicates “professional grade” or “industrial quality”, or merely stating that an item is

“professional grade” or “industrial quality” is insufficient to establish industrial/professional quality since these are marketing terms for which there is no generally accepted definition. A claim that an item is manufactured to an industry consensus standard is also insufficient to establish industrial or professional quality. Industrial/professional quality tools shall have verifiable marketplace acceptance.

3.5.2 US Manufactured Items. The components list in this document provides the Federal

Supply Classification of components to assist offerors in determining to which items the provisions of the Buy American Act and Berry Amendments apply. The Government has tried to ensure that the listed equivalent components reference only U.S. manufactured items where required by applicable laws. However, given the volatile nature of the market at this time and the unavailability of U.S. manufacturers of certain items, the Government cannot guarantee that all of the items on the list are U.S. made. If offerors find that a particular item is not available from a U.S. source, offerors shall inform the Government of this immediately, to allow the

Government to address this issue.

3.5.2.1 Produced in the US. Per DFARS Procedures, Guidance and Information (PGI) 225.7002-

1(b) , “Produced in the United States” means that the hand or measuring tool was assembled in the United States out of components, or otherwise made from raw materials into the finished product that is to be provided to the Government.
