The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD) is seeking potential sources for requesting pricing information on a group of eleven (11) sets of press tooling. Pricing should be based on the assumption that all tooling sets listed below are ordered together. The drawings are attached and the requested sets are listed below: Drawing 2773-1: 1.999” Die Set Drawing 2773-2: 1.429” Die Set Drawing 2773-3: 2.878” Die Set Drawing 2773-4: 2.499” Die Set Drawing 2773-5: 1.000” Die Set Drawing 2773-6: 0.500” Die Set Drawing 2773-7: 2.000” Die Set Drawing 2773-8: 1.687” Die Set Drawing 2773-9: 0.728” Die Set Drawing 3215D: 0.992” Die Set Drawing 3400: 0.858” Press Die Set As listed on the drawings, all raw bar stock must be ultrasonically tested (UT) in accordance with ASTM E2375, with Class A requirements (5/64” max defect size). A report of the results from the UT must be included with the delivery paperwork. The UT report must link the raw bar stock to the tooling set it was used in. Tooling sets should be delivered with a 100% GD&T inspection report. The recommended delivery of this report is a marked up copy of the drawing with the actual measured values written in red next to the drawing requirements. The contracted machine shop is expected to facilitate an on-site visit prior to final delivery of the items. This visit may be waived by NSWC IHEODTD. This visit will include at a minimum one (1) senior Tooling Inspector and may include up to an additional two (2) junior Tooling Inspectors. Before the die sets are accepted, they will undergo an abbreviated inspection by NSWC IHEODTD M21 Tooling Inspectors that will include, but is not limited to: a review of the UT report, a review of the GD&T inspection report, a critical dimension check, and a test fit of the components. If anything in the inspection is not in accordance with the drawing or the statement of work, the item will be returned to the machine shop for correction. It is anticipated that this inspection occurs at the machine shop during the site visit – but if the site visit is waived this will occur at NSWC IHEODTD after delivery.

Contractor may be required to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). There are numerous types of CUI, e.g. documents with limited distribution statements, documents marked as For Official Use Only (FOUO), etc. The minimum level of protection for all CUI is adherence to FOUO protection standards. Distribution Statements (DS) and warning labels, such as the Arms Export Control Act Warning, identify additional protection requirements for a given document. Minimum FOUO protection requirements/controls applicable to the performance of this contract for CUI are listed below. Additional protection requirements, as marked on a given CUI document, are in addition to the standards listed. 1. Handling/Storage : Access to FOUO is limited to those needing it to conduct official business for the Department of Defense (DoD). FOUO information is not classified information, but requires extra precautions to ensure it is not released to the public. During business hours, reasonable steps shall be taken to minimize risk of access by unauthorized personnel. After business hours, FOUO information shall be stored in unlocked containers, desks, or cabinets if Government or Government-contracted building security is provided. If it is not, store in locked desks, file cabinets, bookcases, locked rooms, or similar items. 2. Transporting/Transmitting/Release/Destruction: FOUO information shall be transported in a manner that prevents disclosure of the contents. FOUO information may be sent via USPS first-class mail, parcel post, or – for bulk shipments – 4 th class mail. Electronic transmission of FOUO information (voice, data, or facsimile) shall be by approved secure communications systems. Transmission via unsecure fax is acceptable if an authorized person is standing by on the receiving end to take custody. All emails containing FOUO or attachments with FOUO must be digitally signed and encrypted when transmitted within a Navy network or to an approved contractor email address. Transmission of FOUO (i.e. any CUI) to personal email accounts (e.g. AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Comcast, etc.) is strictly prohibited. FOUO sent out of the contractor’s facility electronically must be encrypted (DoD FIPS 140-2 standard). FOUO material shall not be released outside the contractor’s facility except to representatives of DoD. When no longer needed, destroy FOUO by a method that precludes its disclosure to unauthorized individuals. 3. Markings : Unclassified documents (paper or electronic) generated in support of this contract which contain FOUO are to be marked “For Official Use Only” at the bottom on the outside of the front cover (if any), on each page containing FOUO information, and on the outside of the back cover (if any). Each paragraph containing FOUO information shall be marked as such. Within a classified document, an individual page with both FOUO and classified information shall be marked at the top and bottom with the highest security classification of information appearing on the page. Individual paragraphs shall be marked at the appropriate classification level, as well as unclassified or FOUO, as appropriate. Within a classified document, an individual page that contains FOUO information but no classified information shall be marked “For Official Use Only” at the top and bottom of the page, as well as each paragraph that contains FOUO information. Other records, such as photographs, films, tapes, or slides, shall be marked “For Official Use Only” or “FOUO” in a manner that ensures that a recipient or viewer is aware of the status of the information therein.
