This document addresses questions and answers regarding the calibration and repair of torque strain gauge kits, specifically the Allied Signal (Honeywell) LTCT13527 model. Two kits require calibration, and the process involves validating the shaft using a calibration standard like an Ormond Test Stand, with a load system calibrated from 0 to 2000 ft-lbs on a 120-day cycle. While serial numbers and past calibration certificates will not be provided until contract award, the contractor is responsible for obtaining OEM calibration procedures. The government will not approve additional funds for repairs, and shipping to and from the contractor's site will be managed by the government and contractor, respectively.

This document addresses questions regarding a government Request for Proposal (RFP) for the calibration and repair of torque strain gauge kits. The kits consist of Allied Signal (Honeywell) Model LTCT13527, which includes a Strain Gauged Shaft Kit (LTCT13578) and a Strain Indicator (LTCT990). Two such kits require calibration. The calibration involves validating a shaft using a standard like an Ormond Test Stand, with a load system calibrated from 0 to 2000 ft-lbs. Photographs of the kits are provided as Attachment 4 in the PWS. While manufacturer and model numbers are disclosed, serial numbers and past calibration certificates will not be provided until contract award. The government expects the contractor to obtain OEM calibration procedures, as competitive bids are now possible due to multiple entities having access to the necessary technical data. Minor repairs will not receive additional funding, and the government will ship the kits to the contractor, with the contractor responsible for return shipping with tracking.

This Performance Work Statement outlines the requirements for annual calibration of two Allied Signal LTCT13527 torque meter strain gage kits for the Corpus Christi Army Depot. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary personnel, equipment, and services at their facility, except for government-furnished shipping of the kits to the contractor. Key aspects include developing a Quality Control Program, adhering to a 40-hour work week (excluding holidays), and complying with extensive security and data rights regulations. The government retains unlimited rights to all documents and materials produced under the contract. Contractors must ensure personnel are properly trained, undergo background checks, and comply with IT/IA requirements. The performance standard requires all kits to be calibrated to OEM specifications with a 0% failure rate, and calibration certificates must be delivered within five days of completion.
