Universal Joints - Precision Gears W519TC25Q8891
Summary
AI-generated · Sep 28, 2025The activity is market research to identify qualified sources capable of manufacturing universal joints for self-propelled artillery. It is informational only and not a formal award or promise to issue an RFP. Access to the controlled drawing requires you to include your CAGE in the reason-for-request field and to send a fully signed DD Form 2345 to the specified specialist.
Anticipated work involves manufacturing two precision gears with an internal involute spline per drawings 10953657 and 10953661 data tables. Requirements include a static torque rating of 9,000 in-lbs and a minimum 10,000-lb compression or tension load, steel alloy per ASTM A340 (must meet the drawing’s breaking-load requirement), and a Certificate of Conformance stating the steel conforms to ASTM A304 and that the product meets all drawing requirements. Finishing specs call for heavy manganese phosphate coating (class 3) without supplemental oil and heavy zinc phosphate coating (class 3) without note 5. Production processes expected to include CNC spline, grinding, shaping, and milling, with precision tolerances of 0.005 inches or better on certain features. Quality Assurance references Drawing 13101232 and notes administered by RIA-JMTC (Note 9).
DEPARTMENT OF ARMY Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing Technology Center REQUEST FOR SOURCES SOUGHT (RFS) The drawing is a contrlled drawing. When requesting access, please put your CAGE in "reason for request" box. Please also send your fully signed DD Form 2345 to the specialist listed below. 1. INTRODUCTION The Department of Army, RIA-JMTC, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of manufacturing universal joints. This Request for Sources Sought (RFS) is issued for informational purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. The information received will be used to assess the availability of qualified vendors and to develop a future acquisition strategy. This RFS supports the manufacturing of self-propelled artillery. Request estimate lead time, and rough estimate of cost, if able. 2. SCOPE OF WORK The Department of Army, RIA-JMTC anticipates a requirement for the manufacturing of two precision gears. The following capabilities are of interest: Breaking load: Static torque rating of 9000 in-lbs. compression or tension load 10,000 lbs. min. Materials: Steel alloy per ASTM A340 (must meet the drawing requirement breaking load). Certificate of Conformance: Stating steel utilized conforms to specification ASTM A304 and product meets all requirements of drawing. Spline feature: internal involute spline, per drawings 10953657 and 10953661 data tables. Precision Requirements: Tight tolerances (0.005 or better) may be required on certain features. Manufacturing Processes: CNC spline, grinding, shaping, and milling. Finish Requirements: Finish 5.3.1.3 is a heavy manganese class 3 phosphate coating without supplemental oil and 5.3.2.3 is a heavy zinc class 3 phosphate coating without see note 5 Quality Assurance provisions: Drawing 13101232 applies to both drawings. Note 9 on both drawings will be administered by RIA-JMTC.
