This is a SOURCES SOUGHT MARKET SURVEY seeking to identify potential suppliers, and it is for planning and informational purposes only. This is not a request for proposal, nor is it an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation; therefore, a SOLICIT ATION DOCUMENT DOES NOT EXIST AND WILL NOT BE ISSUED. The following Request for Information (RFI) for this Sources Sought Market Survey is issued for purposes of conducting market research and encouraging companies to provide information in regard to their product.

The Program Manager's Office, Light Armored Vehicles (PMO-LAV), located at the Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM)- Warren, is formulating acquisition and life cycle support strategies for a Variable Function Insert ( VFI) R un Flat Compressor Tool (RFCT). The Run Flat Compressor Tool will be used to compress the Hutchinson VFI Run Flat Part # VF0025 for installation into the Michelin XML Tire Part # TR0015.

It must be one-man portable and operated either by hand, or pneumatic operations. If pneumatic operations are involved, the RFCT must be cap able of being integrated into the current pneumatics of the LAV (Recovery variant). PMO-LAV is seeking candidate systems which do not require additional tools. The RFCT should not adversely affect the safety of the operator or incur damage to the tire asse mbly. Operation of the compressor tool should be able to be accomplished by the operator or 2nd echelon maintenance facility. The RFCT will be operational and maintainable in all types of climates and terrain where Marines deploy, specifically, in arid, tr opical, temperate, and artic climates, as well as amphibious operations. The Marine Corps is looking for available Off the Shelf (OTS) or Developmental systems to fulfill this potential requirement.
