About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum seeks rail spanners, with proposals due August 14. The procurement is a Total Small Business set-aside.
Place of performance is Fort Hood, Texas. The spanners must measure a minimum 72 inches long by 24 inches wide and no more than 4 inches thick, with a minimum weight of 78 pounds each (40,000 pounds per pair/axle). Rated capacity shall not exceed 50 percent of failure strength, establishing at least a 2-to-1 safety factor; failure strength is determined by the weight that causes permanent deformation of the aluminum. Structural tubes must measure a minimum 3 inches by 3 inches and no more than 4 inches by 4 inches. The top surface shall be composed of high-traction rungs no wider than 2 inches, spaced no more than 4 inches apart to allow tiedown chains or straps to route between rungs and over tubes and permit debris passage. Each spanner must feature a reinforced kickplate on one side to rest on flat, unobstructed surfaces and a minimum 12-inch heavy-duty reinforced stub toe on each end, tapered to a 2-inch blunt end (knife ends are not acceptable). Each spanner must be etched with part number and capacity. The NAICS code is 336510, Railroad Rolling Stock Manufacturing, and the PSC is 2240, Locomotive and Rail Car Accessories and Components.
