Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding Solicitation W911N226QA027, specifically addressing clarifications related to cold spray systems and equipment specifications.

• Sprayed Materials: The system will be used to repair military equipment, including spraying a high-hard nickel chrome carbide blend for armor repair and various aluminum alloys.
• Operating Pressure: The system must operate at up to 900 PSI for current recipes, with an inlet pressure capability of accepting up to 1200 PSI. This is due to the powder blends being used.
• Nitrogen Generator Sizing: While the solicitation lists nitrogen package specifications, vendors can size the nitrogen generator package for the specific cold spray system. Upsizing is acceptable as long as the equipment meets power and container requirements.
• Storage Containers: Shipping containers cannot exceed 20 feet in length. If more space is needed beyond two 20' ISO containers, additional containers (including 10' containers) can be used, but will incur additional logistics and shipping costs that will be factored into the evaluation.

These clarifications provide specific details on material compatibility, operational pressure requirements, flexibility in nitrogen generator sizing, and container limitations. Bidders should ensure their proposed solutions meet these clarified requirements, particularly regarding pressure capabilities and container dimensions, as these factors will influence the evaluation.
