Description

Request for Information (RFI) for the Guardian Angel Integrated Oxygen System (GAIOS) 1. The Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC) is soliciting information to identify possible sources to provide a single integrated system for high altitude jumps and climbing/rescue operations, and patient medical oxygen systems. This integrated system will share the same configuration to provide a larger use capacity, increase oxygen supply time, and have multiple uses and deployment capabilities. The GA Integrated Oxygen System (GAIOS) shall be a modular family of systems (FoS) that will include a Mounted Medical Oxygen System (M-MOS), a Dismounted Medical and Supplemental Oxygen System (D-MOS) and a Liquid Oxygen (LOX) generator system. The M-MOS will be employed on board aircraft and vehicles to provide medical oxygen during extended transload operations. The D-MOS will be backpacked by one operator to provide medical oxygen treatment to injured personnel, provide supplemental oxygen to operator during dismounted operations above 10,000 ft, and provide supplemental oxygen during high altitude parachute operations. 2. Please provide relevant information on training, logistics support and warranties. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or commit the government to award a contract now or in the future. Submitting information for this RFI is voluntary, and participants will not be compensated. 3. Respondents to this RFI should describe their ability to meet and/or exceed the following requirements: (T) = Threshold, (O) = Objective Mounted Medical Oxygen System (M-MOS) Requirements: a. Provide 93% oxygen concentration (T). 99.5% oxygen concentration (O). b. Provide medical grade oxygen for 4 hours (T). 8 hours (O). c. Not exceed 1800 cu inches in size (T). 1500 cu inches (O). d.

A depleted system shall be able to be reconstituted in 15 minutes or less when using an oxygen system jammer (T). 10 minutes or less (O). l. Provide two (2) attachment points rated to 500 lbs to secure in airframe (T). m. System refilling connections shall be compatible with Haskel pump (T). Dismounted Medical & Supplemental Oxygen System (D-MOS) Requirements: a. Not weigh more than 15 lbs (T). 10 lbs or less (O). b. Able to supply oxygen for 2 hours at 93% concentration (T). 4 hours at 93% concentration (O). c. Provide 93% oxygen concentration (T). 99.5% oxygen concentration (O). d. Capable of dialing oxygen concentration from 93%-24% (T). 99.5%-24% (O) e. Adjustable patient medical masks capable of providing a seal for the 5th to 95th percentile of adults. Masks shall be compatible with collapsible BVM, universal BVM and commercially available adjuncts (T). f. High Altitude Configuration of the D-MOS shall be compatible with nasal cannula in addition to masks (T). g. Operate up to 30,000' SL (feet) (T). 35,000MSL (feet) (O). h.
