NASA Langley Research Center needs two Philadelphia Gear Model 3418CT cooling tower gearboxes overhauled to restore Cooling Tower Cells 1 and 2. - Buyer: NASA Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC), for NASA Langley Research Center. - Procurement approach: NASA intends a sole-source award to Timken Gears & Services Inc. (Philadelphia Gear), identified as the OEM. Capability statements may be submitted, but quotes are not requested or evaluated. - Quantity and equipment: Two Philadelphia Gear Model 3418CT industrial cooling tower gearboxes. - Work required: Teardown, cleaning, inspection, rebuild with new OEM-spec bearings, gearing, shafting, and seals; Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) of reusable torque-transmitting parts; testing; exterior slate-blue epoxy coating; internal rust prevention; and packaging for return shipment. - Acceptance and warranty: Each rebuilt unit must pass a minimum 90-minute, full-speed, no-load mechanical spin test with temperature, sound, and vibration recorded. A three-year warranty is required for the overhauled drives and OEM parts. - Schedule: Complete overhaul and return are estimated at 24 weeks after receipt of order/equipment.
