- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT (REQUEST FOR INFORMATION): THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION; no award will be made as a result of this request. This request for information is for informational purposes only; this is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). All interested parties are encouraged to respond to this RFI. The Government will not pay for information and materials received in response to this RFI and is in no way obligated by the information received. 1. SCOPE. Background: The mission of the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force (REF) is to rapidly increase mission capability while reducing risk to Soldiers and others by equipping operational commanders with off-the-shelf (government or commercial) solutions or near-term developmental items that can be researched, developed and acquired quickly. The REF receives requirements from operational commanders in war zones setting forth the capabilities needed. The REF is chartered by the Senior Army leadership to provide material solutions to meet these requirements in a significantly reduced timeline compared to traditional Department of Defense acquisition procedures. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain technical and cost information from manufacturers regarding the availability of Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Steel Ballistic Crash Gate. Experience and information obtained from this request for information will be provided to Army Product Manager REF who will evaluate the information and feasibility of issuing a procurement action to resolve the stated problem. 2. REQUIREMENTS. Steel Ballistic Crash Gate, 8 feet tall x 24 foot Opening width. Gate must be manufactured in 4 foot sections for bolt assembly on site and include a pedestrian door 36 x 80 to open into the compound. Door will have a 6" x 12" Ballistic window. Ballistic window must have a metal covering to prevent people from looking into the compound. Gate must be able to stop 7.69 bullets and stop a 10,000 lb vehicle traveling at 20 mph. Must be able to either open gate automatically by electric motor or manually. Manufacturer must be able to conduct Ballistic Crash test to be viewed by Army ATEC personnel. 3. DELIVERABLES Specific information on industry capability to produce a system that can meet the requirements identified in paragraph 2 above, or otherwise solves the problem of identifying and detecting objects being emplaced. This is NOT a Request for Proposal. Companies who desire to participate in this market survey are encouraged to submit a white paper which supports the company's claim that it presently has the technology, qualifications, and capabilities to satisfy the performance and technical objectives described above. The white paper should discuss the company's ability to develop and/or provide existing technologies to improve soldier protective levels and should provide a ROM (rough order of magnitude) price and its anticipated delivery for the solution proposed. Please only submit information on products that are currently commercially available or products that are in the final stages of development and will be available for demonstration. The white paper should also discuss related company experience and include point(s) of contact. The white paper should be prepared in MS Word, limited to ten (10) pages, and submitted electronically to the contracting specialist sabrinna.r.faulkner.civ@mail.mil. The company shall be responsible for any costs associated with preparing responses to this market research. All requests for further information must be made in writing or via email; telephone requests for additional information will not be honored. The government will review RFI submissions as they are received. The government reserves the right to close this RFI once they have received adequate response(s) to this RFI.
