- Description
- DESCRIPTION: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. This is a Request for Information (RFI) for the Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. This Request for Information does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quote (RFQ), nor does this issuance restrict the Government?s acquisition approach. Wright-Patterson AFB is requesting information on a name brand or equal high-performance, space-saving battery, C&D Technologies XT4LC-13, for use in the Major Shared Resource Center (MSRC). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 423430. The contractor shall be required to furnish all equipment, labor, supplies, and supervision, and perform all operations necessary for the packaging, transporting, shipping, delivery and installation of the XT4LC-13 batteries, and removal/disposal of old batteries from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). The purpose of this RFI is to identify potential items equal to the B&D Technologies XT4LC-13 which meet the requirements and specifications cited above and below in Attachment 1. The government anticipates an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, consisting of one base year, plus four (4) option periods. Delivery of batteries is one (1) to two (2) weeks after placement of order. Specifications for the XT4LC-13 can be found below at Attachment 1. Your response should demonstrate capabilities, expertise, and compatibility and comparability to the C&D Technologies XT4LC-13. Your response should not exceed 6 pages and should include the following: Company Name; Address; Point of Contact; Telephone Number; E-Mail Address; CAGE Code; Web Page URL; and Size of Business. Please submit your responses to ASC/PKWIS, Building 16, Room 128, 2275 D Street, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, 45433-7228 or via e-mail: denise.smith2@wpafb.af.mil. Packages should be submitted no later than 3:00 p.m. EDT, November 13, 2006. No facsimile responses will be accepted. The government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this RFI nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. The Request for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Quotes (RFQ) will be issued electronically. It will be posted on the Wright-Patterson AFB Pre-Award Information Exchange System (PIXS) web site at: http://www/pixs/wpafb.af.mil/. NO HARD COPIES WILL BE ISSUED FOR ANY REASON. The RFP/RFQ will be issued approximately 17 Nov 2006. It is incumbent upon the interested parties to review this site for updates to the documents. The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) to be the Single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the Department. Defense procurement and finance policies require contractors to be registered by 31 May 1998 for consideration in future solicitations, awards, and payment. DoD contracting officers worldwide will use CCR to identify sources and financial officers will use it to make payments. To register in CCR, you may use one of the following methods: (a) call telephone number 1-888-CCR-2423 for further information. (b) Input directly to CCR through the interactive World Wide Web application at https://www.bpn.gov/ccr/scripts/index.html. Contractors must be registered in CCR prior to award for solicitations issued after 31 May 1998.
