Hydraulic Actuators

RFQ Number: N6660426Q0410 Amendment Number: 0001 The purpose of this amendment is to: Provide responses to vendor questions. Incorporate DFARS 252.204-7019, ‘Notice of NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirement,’ & DFARS 252.204-7020, NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements The offer due date of July 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT remains unchanged. VENDOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The following questions were received from industry and are answered below for all prospective offerors: Q1: The diagram provided in the attachment indicates a load requirement of 78,750 lbs, but other documentation suggests a different capacity. Can you confirm the correct load capacity? A1: The correct load capacity requirement is 16,000 lbs at 2000 PSI. The 78,750 lbs figure in the diagram is from a previous, unrelated requirement and should be disregarded, however the overall geometric layout should be approximately the same. Q2: Is a specific bore size required for the actuator? A2: No specific bore size is explicitly required, provided the actuator meets the 16,000 lbs load capacity. However, a 3.25" bore is suggested as appropriate. Q3: Does the government require MIL-spec material certifications for this procurement? A3: No, special material certifications (e.g., MIL-spec) are not required beyond standard DFARS compliance. Q4: What type of CUI, if any, will be processed, stored, or transmitted during the performance of this contract? A4: The exchange of Controlled Technical Information (CTI) is anticipated, which would include design drawings, hydraulic system specifications, overall system requirements, etc. Offerors must have a CMMC Level 2 (Self) certification or higher. Q5: Is a Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) expected to be delivered with these actuators? A5: A mechanical locking device is desired due to the extended locking duration (up to 1 year), though a counterbalance valve either on the cylinder or elsewhere in the system can act as a sufficient backup option. An HPU is not required under this RFQ. The government is soliciting a requirement for an HPU under a separate contract action (refer to N6660426Q0421). - - - - - -END OF AMENDMENT - - - - -- -- - This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial products prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Part 12, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
