Huntsville Pallet Racking

 A solicitation will be posted within the week for the dismantling of exisiting pallet racking,  purchase of new pallet racking, and installation of new pallet racking at DLA Disposition Services Huntsville, AL. (Reference sources sought with same solicitation number.) It will be set aside for Small Business. Award will be made to the responsible offeror with the lowest price, technically acceptable. Reverse auction shall be utilized.

There is a total of 2,970 pallet spaces for dismantling to be replaced with 2,778 pallet spaces once installation is complete. Type of new pallet racking to be acquired shall have the following characteristics:

1. Each individual component must be permanently marked with the manufacture's brand name, replacement part number recognized by the manufacturer to support ease in component replacement.

2. All beams are to receive two solid coats of paint on every surface and then oven baked to support corrosion resistance.

3. Bolted frames that are electro-statically immersed in epoxy paint to ensure that the paint saturates every surface. This provides corrosion resistance to rival galvanizing - proven in humid climates.

4. Slotted horizontal load beams that enable use of roll-in type pallet supports which allows flexibility in rapidly moving/adjusting pallet support/crossbar locations without the use of hand tools.

5. 24" tall column protectors that attach only to the columns (limited due to seismic and pallet space requirements).

6. End of aisle guard rails are a minimum of 17" high, preferably 11-gage or thicker 5" x 5" x 3/16" structural cold rolled steel with continuous welds used at all joints, 12" x 12" base plates anchored with 5/8" x 4-3/4" grade 5 bolts. Painted with highly visible safety yellow paint.
