The New Hampshire Air National Guard is seeking potential sources to provide the following services on-site at Pease Air National Guard Base:

CLIN 0001:  Disassemble six (6) metal Kardex Industriever Parts Carousels.  Specifically, this work involves the tear-down of two (2) Kardex 6000 Industrievers and four (4) Kardex 3500 Industrievers.  Interested parties should also consider that, if a solicitation is issued, the successful offeror should be prepared to connect or disconnect electrical power to these items.   

CLIN 0002:  Recycle or scrap the metal components of the six (6) Kardex Industriever Carousels.

Since the New Hampshire National Guard anticipates that scrap that metal will be produced as a result of a contract, if one is issued, the successful vendor will be required to adjust for the value of the scrap metal in its pricing.  Therefore the Government asks that, in responding to any solicitation issued, the offeror either reduces prices by the estimated value of the scrap metal when quoting.

Photos of the Industrievers to be disassembled are shown in attachment 1.
