- Description
- The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARSYSCEN), Charleston, Code 615, is soliciting information from potential sources to provide 16 each 8- meter and 15-meter telescoping masts with accessories. Masts shall be telescopic, extended manually by hand crank. Pneumatic masts are unacceptable in sandy/dusty environments and are vulnerable to small arms fire. The first mast shall extend to at least 8 meters, and the second shall extend to at least 15 meters. Mast systems shall be able to be mounted onto a HMMWV (High- Mobility Multi- Purpose Wheeled Vehicle) vertically for stationary (extended mast) and On-The-Move (retracted mast) operation. Mast mounting system shall be attachable to HMMWV without drilling holes in or making any permanent modification to HMMWV. Mast system will support various types of omni-directional and uni-directional antennas with RF cables, at a total weight of 60 pounds. The 8 meter mast system will operate when fully retracted while moving at 25 mph cross- country; 45 mph on dirt roads, and 60 mph on paved roads. With antennas and RF cables supported, masts must sustain (maximum mast top deflection 8 degrees) fully extended at wind speeds up to 35 miles per hour (mph) without using guy ropes, and must withstand 80 miles per hour (mph) maximum wind speeds using guy ropes. When either mast is attached to a HMMWV, one person shall be able to extend mast to full height with specified payload. Mast must also be removable from HMMWV mounting bracket without tools for on- the-ground operation. For this purpose, all necessary deployment (removal) accessories must be provided in accessory kit bags. No single item (mast body or accessory kit bag) shall weigh over sixty five (65) pounds. One person shall be able to remove either mast from the HMMWV and extend it fully, including setting base plate and guy lines, within fifteen (15) minutes. Mast system must be suitable for worldwide operation in harsh environmental conditions and must be able to complete one thousand (1000) deployment cycles (i.e., full extension and retraction) with no failure of any mechanism. System shall be of commercial-off-the- shelf design requiring no development. It is required that all masts and accessories come from one supplier. Accessory parts that support masts shall be identical and interchangeable between the two masts. The masts shall be finished using military standard paint conforming to MIL-DTL-14072. The finish color of the masts in retracted position shall be Tan 686A, color chip 33446 in accordance with MIL-DTL- 64159 and FED-STD-595. It is anticipated that a solicitation will be issued for a Commercial Off-the- Shelf Firm-Fixed-Price type contract issued under the test procedures of FAR Part 13.5. Firms are invited to submit appropriate documentation as described above in addition to any literature, brochures, and references necessary to support that they possess the required capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements.
