- Description
- Document Type: Sources Sought Notice Description The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Airbase Technologies Division at Tyndall AFB, FL seeks sources and information on lightweight armor materials and products to rapidly deploy for a force protection posture. The areal density of this armor will not be more than 10 pounds per square foot (psf) and will carry as a minimum National Institute of Justice (NIJ) level III, ideally a level IV. The Government wants to involve industry in the very early stages of this acquisition. To initiate an exchange of information the Government requests that interested parties submit a paper on existing/potential solutions outlining specifications/capabilities including the aerial density, NIJ threat level certification, cost per square foot based on a 25,000 square feet order, and delivery/lead time. While additional and extraneous information e.g. brochures, test documentation, etc. will be helpful, the only firm requirement for potential suppliers is the information outlined above. Responses will be evaluated and a list of potential suppliers will be established containing firms determined capable of fulfilling the Government?s requirements. At a later date, the Government may acquire material for subsequent testing and an unspecified square footage from one or more of these vendors. This sources sought/request for information (RFI) is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a request for proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any follow-on acquisitions. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI or otherwise pay for the information solicited. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of submission of responses to this RFI and Government use of such information. The Government reserves the right to reject in whole or in part any industry input as a result of this RFI. The Government recognizes that proprietary data and may be a part of this effort. If so, clearly mark such restricted or proprietary data and present it as an addendum to the non-restricted/non-proprietary information.
