The government specification outlines the requirements for a new stationary cable reel stand for the Electronic Fabrication Division. The stand must be a non-motorized, heavy-duty steel construction designed to support reels up to 48 inches in diameter and 5,000 pounds in weight. Key features include a 1.38-inch diameter reel shaft with roller bearing support, a 10-inch mechanical disc brake with tension control, and safety latches to secure the shaft. The stand should remain within a compact footprint (64” wide x 48” deep x 48” high) and operate without requiring electricity or compressed air. It must also comply with OSHA safety standards and come with two sets of commercial manuals for documentation.
Delivery of the stand is expected within 120 days post-contract award, and all components must be warranted for one year from delivery. The specifications prioritize new equipment, emphasizing that used or refurbished gear is unacceptable, thus ensuring quality and reliability for the Electronic Fabrication Division's operations. This document is part of the federal RFP process aiming to procure specialized equipment to enhance operational efficiency while maintaining safety and compliance.
The Army Contracting Command (ACC) - Aberdeen Proving Ground has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential vendors for a stationary cable reel stand. This stand will support reels up to 48” in diameter and weigh up to 5,000 lbs, intended for use at the Tobyhanna Army Depot. The specification requires a heavy-duty, non-motorized reel stand, with essential features such as a 1.38” diameter shaft, roller bearing support, a mechanical disc brake, and safety latches. It must also be forkliftable, non-reliant on power sources, and equipped with mounting options. The government seeks responses from interested vendors outlining their capabilities, with submissions due by September 23, 2024. The RFI is strictly for information purposes and does not represent a commitment to a future RFP. Vendors must include business details and capabilities in their responses, and the government reserves the right to follow up for clarification. All engagement is voluntary, and any proprietary information will be treated confidentially.
