END OF KEY ATTRIBUTES NSWC Crane Division intends to utilize the information garnered from this special notice to refine the Government's understanding of the technical feasibility, risk, and cost implications associated with this cart. Additionally, the Government seeks Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost information for estimated procurement and life cycle costs. The Government will not award a contract on the basis of responses, nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted, or Government's use of such information.

Eligibility in participating in a future acquisition does not depend upon a response to this notice. Proprietary information is not being solicited. Information considered proprietary, if any, should be identified as such. Responses will be reviewed only by Department of Defense personnel and will be held in a confidential manner. Vendors may separate each unique design into a separate response. RFI Submission Instructions: Companies are encouraged to respond if they have the capability and capacity to provide the cart described above.
