- Description
- The US Department of Energy (DOE) seeks qualified small business sources capable of designing, producing, and providing ongoing engineering support for a specialized tactical vehicle. The Escort Vehicle Light Chassis (EVLC) Program, as defined by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Secure Transportation (OST), is tasked to provide a fleet of support vehicles for use in OST mission operations. The Office of Secure Transportation provides safe and secure transportation of nuclear weapons, components, and special nuclear materials, and conducts other missions supporting the national security of the United States of America. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 336992, Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturers, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The successful EVLC concept shall be a specialized response vehicle capable of sustained interstate highway operations (in excess of 24 continuous hours), light duty off-road maneuvering, and comfortable operating conditions for three (3) personnel; including special accommodations for one (1) passenger in a sleeper berth. The EVLC shall include the integration of communications equipment provided by the Government, adequate cargo capacity for passenger equipment, installation of various Law Enforcement-type vehicle accessories, and the modification of electrical and/or mechanical systems of an Original Equipment Manufacture?s (OEM) vehicle chassis. The EVLC concept shall include the design, fabrication, and incorporation of unique features, parts, and armor. EVLC vehicles shall comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations including strict adherence to applicable vehicle weight limitations. The successful qualified vendor must determine the design of the EVLC based on defined vehicle performance standards and requirements. DOE anticipates a three-step Procurement Process. Each Step will have a separate evaluation criteria. Only successful vendors who meet the evaluation criteria in each Step would be considered for the successive Steps. In Step I, vendors will be provided a limited specifications document and asked to provide a proposal that adequately defines key aspects of their business, relevant experience, and capability. The Proposal shall include a description of the vendors proposed design concept based on their interpretation of the EVLC requirement. In Step II, qualified vendors will be provided a complete vehicle specification and asked to respond to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the production of a prototype based on the design concept presented in Step I of the solicitation. In Step III, the qualified vendor(s) will be awarded a firm fixed price contract for steady-state production of the EVLC vehicle. Based on available funding, the vendor should expect to deliver up to 6 3 vehicles within a five (5) year period. Contract performance shall be at vendor facility. Interested small business concerns should respond to this announcement by providing its company name, address, a point of contact with telephone number and e-mail address, and a statement of capability that includes: (1) an expression of interest, and (2) commercial literature that demonstrates the company's expertise and experience to perform the requirements contained in this Sources Sought Synopsis, no later than November 5th, 2008, 4:00pm EST. The expression of interest and commercial literature shall be limited to not more than 15 pages, single spaced and Times New Roman 12 pt font. Only electronic copies of the expression of interest and commercial literature sent to won.sim@nnsa.doe.gov and a courtesy copy to temidayo.osinuga@nnsa.doe.gov shall be accepted. Any questions or comments regarding this announcement should be e-mailed to temidayo.osinuga@nnsa.doe.gov. Telephone responses and inquiries will not be accepted. This Sources Sought Synopsis notice is not a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. Because a solicitation is not being issued at this time, this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. DOE/NNSA will therefore not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. Any information provided by industry to the Government as a result of this Sources Sought Synopsis is strictly voluntary and the information obtained from industries responses to this notice may be used in the development of an acquisition strategy and future request for proposal. Please be advised that all information submitted will be considered procurement sensitive and will not be returned. Information which the vendor considers "Proprietary Information" pursuant to existing laws and regulations must be marked accordingly [see FAR 3.104-1 (3) & (4)].
