- THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES AUTHORIZED IN FAR PART 13. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is NRMAC100-14-00604-CBB. This synopsis/solicitation constitutes a RFQ and incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-63. The FSC code for this action is 6120. The NAICS code for this action is 334519 -- Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing. The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA/OAR/ARL/ATDD, has a requirement for two (2) methanol fuel cell generators equivalent to EFOY Pro 2400 manufactured by SFC of Germany (as specified below). Our requirements for a methanol fuel cell generator include the following: •Operation in temperatures as low as -55°C.- Alaska's front range can experience temperatures as low as -60°C and as high as 30°C when packaged in a well-insulated in-house produced enclosure. Unit will maintain a minimum internal temperature to restart and remain reliable under extreme weather conditions. •Produces 12 VDC nominal and at least 800 Watts per day- The USCRN AK stations are powered by a 12 VDC. The system requires a minimum of 288 Watts per day in optimum conditions. Adding a general efficiency factor and allowing for power drops due to the cold temperatures, the power system needs to produce a minimum of 800 Watts per day. •Lightweight (less than 500 lbs total plus fuel) and easy to install- The USCRN AK stations are in remote locations requiring transportation via small aircraft and manual lifting. A small and light power system is essential. A system that breaks down into components that weigh less than 150 lbs is a requirement. Also, the system needs to be installed in a very short time. Time spent in the remote areas of Alaska is very expensive. •Uses minimal fuel to power due to remote nature of the sites <1.5 l/kWhr- The USCRN AK stations are located in remote areas where even common fossil fuels are not available or are extremely expensive to transport. A system that utilizes a small amount of fuel is a requirement. •Must run continuously or be able to restart in all conditions-The USCRN AK stations require a consistent power source. The stations can only survive for six to eight days without input power. This requires a system that can restart or run continuously in the extremely frigid environment. Offers will be evaluated based on price and the factors set forth in paragraph (a), an award will be made to the firm who can meet the specific requirements and is most advantageous to the Government considering price and other price related factors. A good faith estimate of ground shipping to our facility located at 456 S. Illinois Ave., Oak Ridge, TN 37830 should be provided, as only actual shipping costs confirmed by freight weigh bill and invoice will be reimbursed. If handling charges or fees are included, they should be a separate line item.
