Amendment 6 The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to questions that have been received up to 9/15/2026. 1. I recommend the “R-axis” which can set the height of the back gauge fingers from the control or the program made by the operator This saves time and enhance factory safety Government prefers 4+1 Axis(Y1, Y2, X, R, and V for crowning. 2. You indicate that the bid is under the Buy American Act, but then you say it is set aside for 1009, Small Business Enterprise. We are a small business and would be offering a machine made in Turkey with the final assembly in the U.S. Before we spend a lot of time on this bid, please confirm if made in Turkey is acceptable. Yes, equipment from Turkey is acceptable. As a NATO ally, Turkey is a designated DFARS Qualifying Country (DFARS 225.872-1). Under DoD regulations (DFARS 252.225-7001), qualifying country end products are evaluated on an equal basis with domestic products under the Buy American Act. 3. In our many years of offering and delivering equipment to U.S. government, which we supply from our factories, we also prefer to work with the owner/bidding authority to get the name of local rigors and electricians. If you could provide this information, it would be helpful. We do not want to receive the PO and pick a sub for these activities with whom you may have had a bad experience. No, the Government cannot provide names or recommendations. Recommending specific private vendors violates federal procurement neutrality and ethics rules (FAR 3.101-1). Base electrician will perform connection services. 4. In your responses, you talk about what your material thicknesses are and what type of punches and dies you need. What are the required V opening sizes for the multi-V dies? Please provide specs. The required V-opening size for a multi-V die is generally calculated by multiplying the actual material thickness by 8 for standard mild steel, known as the "Rule of Eight". Multiplier Guidelines by Material Thin materials (≤ 3 mm): Multiply thickness by 6 to 8 . Mid-range mild steel (3 mm to 12 mm): Multiply thickness by 8 . Heavy plate (> 12 mm): Multiply thickness by 10 to 12 . Aluminum: Multiply thickness by 5 to 6 . Stainless steel: Multiply thickness by 10 to 12 . High-strength steel: Multiply thickness by 12 to 15 ​​​​​​​5. ​​​​​​​ You also have a question regarding punch dimensions. To me, your specs are not clear as to what specified tooling you require to be in the bid in a number of instances. As is the case with us, the manufacturer provides a punch and matching die, whether single opening or 4-way. This combination would not work for what you list. When you list specific tip working angles of 30..90 as a gooseneck punch, this is generally a special tool. With many specifications, we can certainly provide anything that is offered in the industry standards. Please provide clarification. Basically we are looking for the general tooling, we won't know what specifics we will need until w…
