- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, Virginia seeks sources and information for Integrated Trailer-Generator-Environmental Control Unit systems. A potential USMC need is emerging for an integrated system that includes a diesel engine-generator set, Environmental Control Unit (ECU), and off-road capable trailer, capable of sustained operation in temperatures ranging from -20 degrees F to +135 degrees F. Additional stowage space for other missions equipment on the trailer is strongly desired (such as tentage). The diesel/JP-8 fueled engine-generator set shall provide between 10-20 kilowatts of power, over and above what is required for the Environmental Control Unit (ECU). Electric power shall be provided at 120/208 VAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz, 0.8 PF. The ECU shall be able to provide between 90,000-120,000 BTU/hr of air conditioning and 40,000-60,000 BTU/hr of heating capacity under the same environmental conditions of the electric generator. The overall system shall be! trailer mounted and suitable for tow behind a HMMWV A2 configuration in severe off-road conditions (70% off-road, 30% on-road), shall be capable of 30-inch water-fording with no preparation, and 60-inch water-fording (salt water) with no more than 30 minutes preparation. The system shall provide for anti-wet-stacking of the engine under partial electrical load condition down to 30% total electrical output. It is a desired capability to operate in parallel two generators for simultaneous and additive capability. The Government is interested in obtaining one representative system, under a separate bailment arrangement to be established, for the purposes of testing at Aberdeen Proving Grounds (APG). Testing is envisioned to commence in June of 2006, with delivery of systems to APG, Aberdeen Maryland desired no later than 1 June. Copies of all testing results will be provided to each vendor on their respective system. Commercial firms possessing the characteristics noted in the above system description are encouraged and invited to submit the following: ? Product brochures and pricing materials outlining specifications, to include a statement of capabilities. ? Current GSA contract information regarding unit pricing and discounts. General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) may be an appropriate method for these supplies and services (Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 8.0 and 8.4). ? Operations / maintenance / parts manual for the unit (if requested by the vendor, the manuals will be returned after Government review). ? Independent or in-house test data. ? Accessories needed for equipment operation, and whether or not the accessories are included with the unit or sold separately. Responses will be reviewed to identify firms potentially capable of fulfilling the Governments requirements. 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 follow-on acquisition. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI, or otherwise pay for the information requested. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect cost 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 recognizes that proprietary data may be part of this effort. If so included, clearly mark such restricted or proprietary data and present it as an addendum to the non-restricted/non-proprietary information. Responses to this RFI shall be mailed to Marine Corps Systems Command, Attn: Gabrielle Trickett-GTES-EPS, 2200 Lester Ave, Quantico, VA 22134-6050 no later than 15 Feb 2006. FEDEX or UPS deliveries should be sent to MARCORSYSCOM Material Management, Attn: Gabrielle Trickett-GTES-EPS, 2201A Willis St, Quantico, VA 22134-6050.
