Offerors shall refer to the attached Standard Form (SF) 1449 (Solicitation FA664826Q0012) for the formal line item structure, technical requirements, and quantities. Offerors are required to complete their unit and total pricing directly on the SF 1449 (Page 3, CLIN 0001) and return the signed and completed SF 1449 as part of their proposal package. SECTION 3 � SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS (TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS) To be deemed technically acceptable, the offered brand name or equal system package must meet or exceed the following physical, functional, and performance characteristics (based on the Magnaflux D-2060 specifications): 1. Core Magnetizing Current & Power Capabilities Must provide a minimum of 6,000 Amps of 3-Phase Full Wave Direct Current (FWDC) magnetizing current capacity to ensure maximum penetration and subsurface defect detection. Must include an upgraded AC Magnetization/Demagnetization capability providing a minimum of 6,000 Amps of AC current output (equivalent to Magnaflux MOD 6.0 AC) to support shallow surface defect inspection. Must feature low-voltage output to ensure operator electrical safety. Must operate on 460 V, 60 Hz, 3-phase electrical supply. 2. Physical Dimensions & Part Capacities Must provide an extended clamping capacity capable of holding parts up to at least 102 inches (259 cm) in length. The physical system footprint must conform to approximately 136 in � 41 in (346 cm � 104 cm). Footprint and Clearance: Requires a minimum footprint of 136 in � 41 in with at least an additional 24 in (61 cm) of open clearance on all sides of the unit for ventilation and maintenance access. Must include an oversized contact assembly for headstock and tailstock (minimum 12 in � 12 in contact plates). Must support a minimum unsupported part weight capacity of 300 lbs (136 kg) utilizing head and tailstock-mounted V-blocks. 3. Coils & Controls Must include a 20-inch (51 cm) diameter moving coil (instead of a standard 12-inch coil). Must utilize an advanced programmable logic controller (PLC) (equivalent to Allen-Bradley PLC) with a simple touch-screen user interface. Must include a control circuit feedback loop for automated amperage regulation and testing repeatability. Must feature an adjustable magnetizing shot time from 0.5 to 2.0 seconds. Must feature automatic double-magnetization shot ("Double-Mag Shot") with one-touch control. Must feature a current assurance indicator light to confirm active current delivery during testing. 4. Demagnetization & Agitation Must feature integrated, ultra-low frequency, reversing, step-down DC demagnetization with 1-touch control. Must include a quick-break feature on coil circuitry to minimize residual magnetic fields. Must feature an external pump and advanced liquid agitator system to keep magnetic particles well-suspended and prevent clumping or blockages in the bath tank. Must have a particle-bath tank capacity of at least 20 gallons (76 L). 5. Enclosure & Lighting Accessories Must include a long-capacity darkened inspection enclosure hood (equivalent to Magnaflux GE-96 Enclosure) equipped with a built-in ventilation fan. Must include a high-intensity, stationary overhead LED UV-A inspection lamp (equivalent to Magnaflux EV6000) operating on standard 115�230 V power. 6. Support Kits & Crating Must include a complete Oil Bath Start-Up kit containing: 14A fluorescent magnetic particles (minimum 1 lb jar). Carrier II oil bath fluid (minimum 55-gallon drum). Two double-braid copper contact pads with V-blocks. 10 Gauss non-calibrated Field Indicator. Pie Field Gage. Centrifuge tube and stand for particle concentration verification. UV-A absorbing safety glasses. All equipment must be properly crated for secure ground transportation (including heavy-duty long-length crating). 7. Warranty & Quality Certification Must include a comprehensive 3-year parts and labor warranty on the equipment. Must meet all Nadcap specifications and comply with ASTM E1444 testing standards. SECTION 4 � DELIVERY, ACCESS AND SAFETY Delivery Schedule: Delivery is estimated within 10�12 weeks after receipt of order (ARO). Offerors must state their guaranteed delivery timeframe on their quotation. Shipping & Freight Terms: Shipping for each item will be FOB Destination only. Separate charges for shipping or freight will not be allowed under any circumstances. All shipping, packaging, and crating costs must be included as part of the offeror's quoted price directly within the SF 1449. Health and Safety (DAFFARS 5352.223-9001): The contractor shall take all reasonable steps and precautions to prevent accidents and preserve the health and safety of contractor and Government personnel performing or in any way coming in contact with the performance of this contract on Homestead Air Reserve Base. Contractor Access (DAFFARS 5352.242-9000): The contractor shall obtain base identification and vehicle passes, if required, for all contractor personnel who make visits to or perform work on the installation. The contractor shall submit a written request on company letterhead to the Contracting Officer listing the contract number, work site, start/stop dates, and names of employees needing access. Personnel must wear or prominently display installation identification badges while performing work. Unescorted entry to controlled or restricted areas requires compliance with DAFI 31-101 (Integrated Defense) and DODMAN5200.02_DAFMAN 16-1405 (Air Force Personnel Security Program). The contractor must provide an after-hours contact number or email in the Emergency Mass Notification System (EMNS) for each of their personnel whose normal place of duty is on the installation. SECTI
