- Description
- This is a request for information. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Charleston (SSCC) is soliciting information seeking solutions for battery power units for use with the Marine Corps??? Tactical Remote Sensor Systems System-of-System (TRSS SOS). The TRSS SOS uses hand- emplaced sensors to support the field commander???s intelligence collection effort by providing continuous, wide area surveillance of the battlefield. Two battery powered unit configurations are required - one that holds a single BA-5x90/U series battery, and one that houses three BA-5x90/U series batteries. The Single Battery Power Unit (SBPU) is a lightweight enclosure that houses a single BA-5x90/U series battery to provide 12 VDC power to TRSS SoS devices. The SBPU has two integrated 13-pin connectors that allow for cable connection to equipment and for daisy-chaining up to three SBPU together to extend the TRSS SOS mission duration. The SBPU configuration items include the battery box and two cables. The SBPU includes a data pass through feature that allows data signals to be passed concurrently while power is being supplied. The Triple Battery Power Unit (TBPU) is a functional equivalent of the SBPU that uses three BA-5x90 batteries. General Delivery Requirements. The SBPU effort requires the manufacture of up to 2,000 SBPUs, which are built in accordance with a prescribed set of Product Drawings (Qualification and Production only). The TBPU requires the manufacture of up to 1,000 TBPUs, which are built in accordance with a prescribed system specification (design, qualification, and production). Both battery box efforts also include the delivery of data associated with system design, development, production, and logistics support. Intended Application of Battery Boxes. The battery power units are required to power unattended devices for a minimum of 120 days in outdoor environments within the temperature range of ???30 to +62 degrees C. Two configurations are required - one that holds a single battery, and one that houses three batteries. The battery boxes are TRSS devices that allow the attachment of external power sources. The systems ability to be lightweight and man-packed to remote locations is essential. The Government desires SBPUs to be built per the existing Product Drawing. Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) solutions for the TBPU, if available, and in compliance with the TBPU specification are required. Industry firms capable of accomplishing the required services, in whole or by teamed effort, are invited to submit an affirmative response to this notice. The Government is interested in rapid delivery of low- weight solutions that can withstand the environmental requirements, which include a 24-hour immersion threshold. Partial solutions will not be considered. It is anticipated that a solicitation will be issued for a Commercial type contract issued under the test procedures of FAR Part 13.5. The applicable NAICS code is 335931 with a size standard of 500 employees. Firms are invited to submit documentation (any literature, brochures, and references) necessary to support that they possess the required capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements. There is a five-page limitation for all data submitted. Responses must include the following: (1) name and address of firm; (2) size of business, including: average annual revenue for past three years and number of employees; (3) ownership (including Country of Ownership), indicating whether: Large, Small, Small Disadvantaged, 8(a), Women-Owned, HUBZone, Veteran- Owned and/or Service-Disabled- Veteran-Owned Business, and Central Contractor Registration (CCR) information; (4) number of years in business; (5) two points of contact, including: name, title, phone, fax, and e-mail address; (6) DUNS Number; (7) affiliate information: parent corporation, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential subcontractor) or subcontractors (if potential prime); (8) Product literature in PDF format that identifies the ability to meet the requirements listed above or identify proposed unit that meets all requirements listed above. Responses shall be submitted via e-mail to SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston, Joanne Banks, Contract Negotiator, at joanne.banks@navy.mil.
