SHIP ARRESTOR CABLE

The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) is searching for sources to supply wire rope. Dimensions as follows: Size - 3-1/2" fiber core wire rope; Classification - 6X37; Ultimate strength - 1,000,000 pounds. The Vendor shall furnish one (1) 144'6" wire rope complete with an open socket installed via zinc on one end (see attached drawing - specifically Mark 1 section in middle of page). The open socket would be furnished by the SLSDC, however, the vendor shall have the open socket magnetically particle tested for defects prior to installing the socket on the new wire rope. Additionally, once the socket is installed on the wire rope, the vendor shall have the socket and zinc connection non-destructive and load tested by a certified laboratory. A satisfactory test report by a certified laboratory is required prior to SLSDC acceptance. The Vendor shall note in his/her response if able to supply the required length or if a minimum length of wire rope is required to produce the section required. The spelter socket can be zinced or resined. The nondestructive test is applied to the socket for the purpose of ensuring there are no cracks or other defects present. The wire rope needs to only be tested to 40% of the 1,000,000 lb-force breaking strength. This equates to 400,000 lb-force. Applicable NAICS code: 332618; Size Standard: 500 employees. Using this size standard, vendor shall include its business size in the response. Responses are due by Tuesday, August 29, 2017 to Patricia White, Contracting Officer, at [email protected] .
