- Description
- This sources sought is for information and planning purposes only, does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. No award will be made as a result of this market research. The inquiry shall serve as an opportunity for Contractors to evidence their capabilities of providing fuel cells for use in aviation, to the specifications outlined below. Qualifications shall be based upon information that indicates Contractors who possess an existing capability for the fabrication and production of fuel cells. Claims of existing technologies must be substantiated with test data. The USMC H-1 Helicopter program, PMA-276, is seeking sources to determine availability of crash-resistant, ballistic-tolerant fuel cells that use a foam technology as the self-sealing mechanism. The fuel cells should be capable of meeting the requirements of MIL-DTL-27422. It is assumed that the fuel cells can be retrofit into the existing UH-1Y and AH-1Z aircraft configuration. The fuel cells should be system prototypes that have been demonstrated in an aircraft in an operational environment. Fuel cells should be capable of being manufactured at a rate of at least 10 per month in a U.S. facility. NAVAIR requests that companies respond by submitting 1) a summary outline of the performance specification of the proposed fuel cells, 2) a Capability Statement indicating the current production capabilities, and 3) Test data to substantiate capabilities and other information as determined by the vendor, limited to 20 printed pages. Additionally, respondents may provide contract numbers and descriptions, for similar type work and products, as evidence of production capabilities. The submission of this information is for planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to procure any items/services, or for the Government to pay for the information received. No solicitation document exists at this time. All comments should be submitted by 4 Apr 2013. No phone calls will be accepted.
