See Sources Sought Notice for details. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the capability for the refurbishment of the 500 KW commutators. Only responders who meet the following criteria should respond to this sources sought notice: 1. Meets specifications outlined below with a capabilities statement. 2. Has an active CAGE Code with the System for Award Management (SAM) registration 3. Does not appear on the Excluded Parties List Statement of Work for Classic and New Design Commutators Work consists of disassembly, data recording, and manufacturing 500 kW new and classic design commutators. The commutators, government furnished material (GFM), will have already been removed from their shafts. The GFM will be supplied to the contractor as an example of the commutators to be manufactured by this procedure. The front and back clamp rings may be reused on the new commutators provided they are suitable for reuse. The commutator core barrel shall be manufactured new. All copper and insulating materials shall be replaced. All studs, nuts, washers and locking plates shall be replaced. Work shall be for a period of one calendar year from the date of the contract award with four one-year options. Exact work quantities for classic design are unknown; however, historical data indicates that the levels will be about 8 classic design commutators per year. Exact work quantities for new design commutators are unknown; however, historical data indicates that the levels will be about 7 new design commutators per year. The commutators shall be completely stripped, re-insulated, copper bars replaced, spin seasoned, electrically tested, machined, and balanced in accordance with the Commutator Refurbishment Procedure. A separate copy of the Commutator Refurbishment Procedure, including all data and certification signatures, shall be completed and included in the shipping crate with each commutator refurbished and sent to PNS. The refurbishment of the 500 kW commutators called for in this procedure can be performed without reference to any original equipment manufacturer (OEM) armature drawings. The refurbishment of these commutators must meet the specifications in the Commutator Refurbishment Procedure herein. The contractor is to complete and forward a detailed commutator data and dimension sheet on the first commutator refurbished during initial disassembly. The data sheet is to be forwarded to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS) contracting official for review and approval prior to reassembly. Subsequent commutators are to be compared to the original data sheet during disassembly. Any discrepancies are to be noted and forwarded to PNS. The commutators to be refurbished by this procedure are to be built to the dimensions of the original commutator data sheet that was completed by the contractor, and the dimensions provided in the Commutator Refurbishment Procedure enclosed. In the event no carcass is available for refurbishment, all parts will be manufactured new in accordance with this procedure. These commutators will be completed within 45 calendar days of the request from PNS in writing. Dimensional tolerances unless otherwise specified in the contract shall be the same as standards used for high quality commutator manufacture and/or the “Twenty Eighth Edition of Machinery’s Handbook”. The contractor awarded the contract shall notify PNS prior to subcontracting any of the work such as, segment manufacture or commutator balance or spin seasoning to a different contractor. PNS reserves the right to verify the subcontractor has extensive experience in the field. In the event that PNS deems the subcontractor unqualified, the subcontractor shall not be used. The commutator contractor shall provide, via email, an electronic copy of the completed Commutator Refurbishment Procedure to the PNS Technical Point of Contact (POC) 5 days prior to shipment. The Technical POC will review the refurbishment data and respond back to the contractor, within 5 days, to either accept or reject the data. Once the refurbishment data has been accepted the contractor will arrange to ship the commutators to PNS. A PNS representative shall also be allowed to do spot checks on the commutators during manufacture to ensure that the requirements of the contract are being followed. 8. PNS C/133 Receipt Inspection- when commutators arrive at PNS the following inspections will be performed: · Ensure a signed copy of the Commutator Refurbishment Procedure is included in the shipping box with each commutator. · Ensure all signature blocks in the Commutator Refurbishment Procedure have been signed by the contractor. · Ensure data recorded at paragraphs (h), (m), (n), and (q) are within the required specifications. · Ensure a copy of all specification and/or data sheets for all materials used during the manufacture of the commutator are included in the shipping crate with each commutator. · Remove the crate top and bracing beneath. Inspect the visible portion of the commutator for damage. Reinstall bracing and crate top when inspections are complete.
