EVALUATION OF FIRST ARTICLE TESTING|3||||
The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. In addition to price, the
following Non-price evaluation factor shall be used to evaluate offers and are listed in descending order of importance. descending order of importance.
Relevant Past Performance
Technical Capability
The non-price evaluation factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. There are no subfactors.
The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated
favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government will consider the quality of an offeror's relevant past performance. This consideration is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination. The
assessmentof the offeror's relevant past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative risk of the offeror and other competitors in successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. In determining the rating for the past
performance evaluation factor, the Government will give greater consideration to the contracts which the Government feels are most relevant to the RFP.
The Government reserves the right to award the contract to other than the lowest priced offeror.
Contractors are informed that it is the Government's desire to make award on initial proposals when deemed possible by the Contracting Officer, however the Government reserves the right to communicate and/or negotiate with offerors if later determined necessary.

Contact code ;BUYER ON PAGE 1 OF CONTRACT; or code N241.10 to arrange for First Article Test location
3.4 Welding and welder qualifications shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1
for steel, AWS D1.2 or MIL-W-22248,Class 4 for aluminum, AWS D1.3
for sheet steel and AWS D1.6 for stainless steel. Proper controls shall be used to prevent melt through or burn through. For aluminum, filler for welding 6061 alloy shall be 4043: filler for welding 5000 series alloys
to themselves or to 6061 shall be 5356 or 5556. In addition,welding and
weld inspection shall include:
(1) Visual inspection shall include 5X (5power) magnification when a suspect
condition is to be examined beyond the capability of normal vision.
(2) Critical and major welds may be subjected to further non destructive
testing (such as dye penetrant inspection)as prescribed by the buying activity.
(3) Proper documentation shall be available for review by Government personnel.
3.5 WORK INSTRUCTIONS. Work instructions shall be posted at theoperator's work station giving procedures to control the welding process, i.e., filler material, weld size, electrical and gas characteristics, including flow rate.
3.6 MATERIALS AND MATERIALS CONTROL. The quality program shall assure that the materials used in fabrication or processing, i.e., base metals and weld filler material, be inspected and conform to the applicable physical, chemical and other technical
requirements (supplier's certification is sufficient).
3.7 CONTROLS. Weld filler materials shall be clearly identified and segregated from each other both when in storage and at the work station. Work station environment shall be controlled to prevent conditions adverse to proper gas shielding.
3.8 CLEANING. Parts to be welded shall be cleaned to remove surface soils such as oils, waxes, grease, inks, etc. except that uninhibited alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide shall NOT be used.
3.9 DEOXIDIZING. The cleaned parts shall be chemically deoxidized NO MORE THAN 10 DAYS PRIOR TO WELDING to remove thick surface oxide films. (If the material or work is exposed to an outdoor environment, this time limit shall be reduced to a maximum of 3 days,
to account for atmospheric effects.) Mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied just prior to the actual start of welding, to remove any reoxidation or residual thin oxide films.
3.9.1 CHEMICAL TREATMENT. An acid deoxidizing treatment shall be applied by either immersion or brushing/wiping. Deoxidizers acceptable for use shall include nitric acid, sulfuric chromic, phosphoric chromic, or equivalent solutions. Sodium hydroxide
solutions shall not be used. Care shall be taken to assure 100% solution coverage of the area to be welded. To allow an adequately sized deoxidized area for good welding, the solution shall be applied to an area extending at least 2 inches from the weld site,
or ending at any closer adjacent edge.
3.9.2 MECHANICAL MEANS. Immediately prior to welding, mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied to the weld areas previously chemically treated to assure removal of residual or reformed oxides, if any. Acceptable methods of mechanical cleaning include
stainless steel wire brushing, scraping, filing, or sanding. However, abrasives containing iron and its oxides, steel wool and wire, and copper alloy based wire, which may become embedded with galvanically active metals and accelerate corrosion of aluminum
alloys shall NOT be used. Mechanical methods shall be vigorous enough to adequately remove any residual oxide films, but gentle enough to avoid forming an excessively rough surface in the comparatively soft metal underneath.
