The purpose of this Amendment 0001 to Request for Proposal (RFP) W9124P-21-R-0011 is to provide instructions to offerors as follows:
(1) Name and address of Issuing Activity: PEO Missiles and Space HQ, Bldg 5308, RM 8214, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000. The place of performance for this requirement is Tobyhanna, PA.
(2) Solicitation number and date: W9124P-21-R-0011, July 22, 2021
(3) Amendment number and date: 0001, August 16, 2021
(4) Number of Pages: 2
(5) Description of the changes being made are as follows:
The following answers are provided in response to questions from potential vendors:
Question 1: PWS paragraph 3.1.13.2 states: The chamber shall use the existing power infrastructure (208 Volt, 3-phase, 200A, 60 Hertz supply). Even though this could limit the overall temperature performance rates; Will the customer accept a bid with a system that uses 460V-3 Phase 60Hz power? This could save the Government testing time since it will heat and cool at a faster rate than a system using the 208 power and potentially shorten the Testing cycles.
Response 1: The customer would like to invite the offeror to include both options in their bid. This will allow us to evaluate the cost/benefit of one approach versus the other. Our main concern is meeting, not necessarily exceeding, the temperature rates and ranges stated in paragraphs 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 of the PWS.
Question 2: PWS paragraph 3.1.14.2 states: The consumption rate of the chamber should not exceed a rate of 32 gallons per minute (GPM). Is this rate for all operational scenarios regarding heating and cooling or can the rate increase to 35 or 45 gallons per minute under certain operational conditions?
Response 2: The water consumption rate stated was intended to be for all operational scenarios. The offeror is welcome to submit a proposal with equipment that requires a rate of 35 to 45 GPM under certain conditions, but it may negatively impact their evaluation against other offeror's proposals.
Question 3: It seems the requirement is going to be testing various liquids and HAZMAT materials. We need Safety Data Sheets on all materials the customer plans to test in this chamber. Please include the auto-ignition data. The chamber will most likely need to be a minimal spark interior. If the fluids and liquids are not flammable or ignitable, that will work as well.
Response: The customer does not actually test using HAZMAT materials. They test packaging that is rated/trying to be rated for HAZMAT. Nearly all of their tests are conducted with water, propylene glycol, a combination thereof, or inert solids. The Safety Data Sheet of the propylene glycol is attached.
(6) Government point of contact and email address: Contracting Officer, Ms. Martha White, martha.c.white8.civ@mail.mil and Contract Specialist, Ms. LaTonya L. Robinson latonya.l.robinson.civ@mail.mil.
(7) Revision to solicitation closing date, if applicable: The closing date on this solicitation remains the same on Monday, August 23, 2021 at 4:00 PM CST.
(8) All other terms and conditions remain the same.
