- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Notice and is published for Market Research and informational purposes only. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Contracts Department is seeking qualified sources able to meet our requirements listed below. Portable Gage Container Boxes MUST have the following specification: Transit case must consist of highly durable solid-wall shell, which closes in a manner to make the case water and vapor tight, with a hinged closure, capable of supporting a maximum gross weight of less than 75 pounds. Unlimited duration waterproof integrity at one meter complete immersion depth shall be considered sufficient. The case will be made entirely of corrosion proof materials, plastic is desired, which can withstand extended exposure to all climate categories ranging between -25 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit in temperature, at any relative humidity, without detriment to case durability or operability. Of particular interest is the case s ability to withstand extreme temperatures, ultraviolet, solvents, impact, and fungus exposure. The case, including operating mechanisms, shall be predominantly 97 percent or more black in color with minimal reflective surface area, less than 1 percent, for tactical purposes. The case shall provide for pressure relief, either automatic or manual, to preclude the case from becoming vacuum locked due to the transition between high-altitude transit and the relative barometric pressure supporting ground operations post-transit. The case lid will be hinged in a manner which retains the lid with the case in both open and closed positions, and the lid will be limited to a fully opened angle of more than 90 degrees but less than 110 degrees; this to preclude the lid from being allowed to strike the ground. The case will provide for the lid to be closed and locked in the closed position through the use external padlock or other external restraining measures. The case lid shall be secured to the lower position of the case by no less than two latches, also made entirely from corrosion-proof materials as stipulated above. The case will have two integrated handle assembly, hinged so that it can lay flat against the exterior surface to minimize footprint in transit. The case size will be determined by the manufacturer design to best fit the gages that are required to fit the inside of the containers; but will not exceed the maximum allowable size to be shipped by private shipment carriers (i.e. FedEx or UPS) The case interior will be of sufficient size to accommodate the 52 infantry weapon gages, arranged within custom-cut foam insert. The design of the custom cut foam will be determined by the manufacturer to accommodate safe transportation of the weapon gages from being damaged and avoid calibration certification from being voided. The manufacturers will be invited to NSWC, Corona to measure the dimensions of the gages for the needed foam cut out and determine the size of case needed. The foam shall be 2 pound or denser polyethylene closed-cell foam, uniformly gray, charcoal or black in color, which provides organization, protection, and moisture-resistance for said equipment which meets MILSPEC standards. Any sources who can meet ALL of the listed requirements and are interested shall indicate so by adding their company information to the interested vendor list. The Government will not award a contract solely on the basis of this Sources Sought Synopsis. This synopsis does not constitute a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does this issuance restrict the Governments acquisition approach. The Government reserves the right to reject in whole or in part any industry input as a result of this announcement.
