The South Dakota Air National Guard intends to issue a firm fixed priced purchase order for the purchase and delivery of Aircraft Assist Loading Ramp Systems and Ramp Support Stands. Please refer to the specifications listed below for the equipment needed. 0001: (2) DOMOPS Airlift Modular Approach Shoring (DAMAS) Portable Aluminum Aircraft Loading Ramp Systems rated up to 20000 lbs per paired ramp section used as approach shoring to load vehicles or rolling equipment into C5, C17 and C130 aircraft. Each system must be ATTLA (Air Transportability Test Loading Agency) Certified for C130, C17, and C5 aircraft and be designed to rest on the ground and the aircraft cargo ramp. The ramp system must be a non-skid (no-slip) dual track design so that the tracks can be moved to accommodate the width of the vehicle or rolling equipment being loaded. Each track should be approximately 36 inches wide and consist of two ramps approximately 94 inches long, two ramp pads, one 13-15 inch stand, and two wedges approximately 18 inches long. The pads and wedges are needed to reduce the PSI or footprint on the ground and the aircraft cargo ramp. When the individual components are connected together they should form a track that is approximately 17-19 feet long. No additional Ramp Support Stands are required. Please refer to figure 4 on the attached DAMAS Specs document for a description of the ramp system we are looking for.
