REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL LITERATURE

a. The vendor shall provide, with its quote, descriptive literature that has previously been used to market the proposed. The literature will be used to technically evaluate the proposal and shall describe how the Wheels and Axles meet requirements of the specification; specifically the Section 3, “ Specifications”, of the Statement of Work:

3.1 The power assemblies shall include standard cast iron liners, circle 3 or better heads, new valves, new hardened valve guides, new keepers and locks, head refinished to phonograph finish, new piston with upper hardened ring grove, pre-stressed stainless rings, new carrier bronze inserts bearing.

3.2 Qualified carriers and pins and qualified fork and blade rods.

3.3 Any machining of the cylinder head fire face and fire face gasket surfaces shall be accomplished so that no difference in dimension exists between the fire face, fire face gasket surface and the mounting face of the cylinder head.

b. The features, which must be addressed in the descriptive literature, are necessary to consider the bid proposal responsive. If the vendor’s preprinted literature does not show all these features, the vendor must attach a letter of supplemental information to the literature describing in detail those required features.

c. The failure of descriptive literature to show that the product offered meetsthe requirements of this solicitation will require rejection of the proposal.

d. Descriptive literature furnished under this solicitation that contains statements similar to ‘specifications are subject to change without notice’, proposal is subject to the following conditions’, or ‘prices are subject to change without notice’ shall not be considered for an award. The government has no assurance the products offered will conform to the specification; therefore, the proposal is not considered a firm offer and will not be considered for an award.

e. Vendors who furnish a product catalog to satisfy this requirement must indicate which item is the subject of the proposal by citing (highlighting, marking, etc.) model numbers and page numbers from the catalog along with the item’s price. Proposals that fail to clearly establish which item or items are being proposed will be considered non-responsive.
