1.0 SCOPE OF WORK
1.1. SCOPE
This statement of work establishes the requirements for the purchase, delivery, and
installation of a commercially off-the-shelf (COTS) replacement Autoclave and Control
System for the Tinker Air Force Base Composites & Shelf-Life Lab. The vendor shall
provide all hardware, software, peripherals, documentation, training, calibration,
shipping, and installation. The vendor shall ensure, upon installation, that all hardware
and software functions and applications are fully functional prior to purchaser
acceptance. Any required maintenance and calibration will be provided solely by the
vendor through a maintenance contract. Tinker Air Force Base will prepare the site
location for the Autoclave prior to installation.
1.2. BACKGROUND
The Autoclave and Control System described in this document is intended for use in the
Tinker Composites & Shelf-Life Lab for the purpose of curing materials including, but
not limited to composite prepregs, primers, film adhesives, graphite, and shelf-life
materials in accordance with technical specifications to prepare them for testing in
support of Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex and Department of War Shelf-Life
Program customers. The Autoclave and Control System will also be used to support
backup curing of Tinker Commodities Maintenance Group production parts. The lab’s
current autoclave, which exceeded its expected service life in FY2012,
