- Description
- Heavy Combat Crossdrive Transmission (HCCT) Request For Information (RFI) 1. Market Survey Request. This Request For Information (RFI) is being issued to address the need of a heavy combat cross-drive transmission. TARDEC will demonstrate a highly power-dense propulsion system designed for a 60-70-ton tracked vehicle to support the long-term powertrain needs of tracked military vehicles. The propulsion system includes the components and elements necessary to propel the vehicle and produce exportable power (i.e. engine, transmission, final drives, cooling systems, control systems, and electrical generator). The transmission will be installed to the propulsion system to achieve a system power density of 4.5hp/ft3. The transmission design should achieve a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6 by March 2019. This level is defined as completion of a 75hr durability test. The design should include architecture which maintains high energy efficiency across the operating speed and load range of the transmission. 2. Transmission Specifics. The transmission is intended to operate to the following requirements: 1.Input Power of 1500 brake-horsepower (BHP) 2.Pivot steerability 3.Dead-engine steerability 4.Regenerative speed-control steering The transmission will interface with other propulsion system components, their control systems, and their cooling systems. The transmission architecture will need to be reconfigurable and developed to meet the interface requirements of the other propulsion system components. Products offered are desired to be already developed or under development. However, we understand development and modifications of the transmission system may be required. 3. Proprietary Information. The United States Government (USG) acknowledges its obligation under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (18 U.S.C. 1905) to protect confidential information provided to the Government. Pursuant to this statute, the USG is willing to accept any trade secrets or proprietary restrictions placed upon data presented in response to this survey and to protect such information from unauthorized disclosure, subject to the following: Data must be clearly marked PROPRIETARY and be accompanied by an explanatory text so that the Government is clearly notified on what data is proprietary. Mark only data that is truly confidential. Do not mark data that is already in the public domain or is already in possession of the USG or third parties on an unclassified basis. Do not submit any classified data in response to this market survey. Proprietary data transmitted electronically must have the PROPRIETARY legend on both the cover of the transmittal email as well as at the beginning of the file. Proprietary information contained within the correspondence shall use the legends: quote mark PROPRIETARY PORTION BEGINS quote mark and quote mark PROPRIETARY PORTION ENDS. quote mark 4. Disclaimer. This RFI is for a market survey. It is an inquiry intended to measure the product capability, developmental needs, and level of industry interest. Responses to this survey may affect the Government's decision to issue the subject contracts for full and open competition. This is not a pre-solicitation notice or Request for Proposal (RFP), nor will any contracts be awarded from this announcement. Information provided regarding the potential contracts, as presented in this market survey, is subject to change. Additionally, this inquiry does not bind the Government to solicit for, or award any contracts. Participation in this survey from a potential offeror is solely voluntary; no reimbursements will be made to any offeror for costs associated with participation in this survey. Data submitted to the Government will not be returned, but will remain archived as part of historic records. Participation in this market survey, while important to Army acquisition planners, is neither mandatory nor is it requisite for future participation by the potential offeror in forthcoming Government solicitations. 5. Clarification of this Action. The Government is not responsible for the public disclosure of unmarked data received in response to this market survey. Accordingly, the potential offeror shall ensure that technical data provided in response to this market survey shall be appropriately marked (i.e. proprietary) to ensure proper Government handling of the data. Should the USG need to reproduce the protected data for distribution purposes between Government offices, all such data will be reproduced with restrictive legends in place. 6. Questionnaire. Offerors who would be interested in competing for any potential contracts, please take the time to respond to the questionnaire below. The Government requests that all responses be returned by 5:00pm, Detroit local time on 30-May 2014. Instructions for Completing the Questionnaire: Interested offerors are asked to complete the following questionnaire and provide answers back electronically to Patty Roussin, Contract Specialist, at patricia.m.roussin.civ@mail.mil. Response Format: Electronic responses are required. It is requested that electronic responses be provided in any of the following formats: Microsoft Word 2007 or earlier, Microsoft Excel 2007 or earlier, Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or earlier or Adobe Acrobat. Zip files are not acceptable. Emails are limited to 10Mb in size; emails in excess of 10Mb must be broken into smaller submissions. The subject line must read quote mark (Company Name) response to HCCT Market Survey. quote mark Note: Be sure to number your responses in accordance with our numbering system so each answer corresponds to the correct question. Also, spell out acronyms in their first instance and clearly mark any proprietary information per the guidance of paragraphs above. Respondents to this questionnaire may be contracted directly in the future for additional comments and information as potential requirements develop. 6.1 Administrative Information: A.Company Name B.Address (Corporate offices & research and development facilities) C.Website D.CAGE Code E.Please provide a description of your company to include history, years in crossdrive transmission development, significant events, facilities and locations, and partnerships/affiliates 6.2 Person Responding to Questionnaire: A.Name B.Title C.Company Responsibility/Position D.Telephone Number E.Email Address 6.3 Product Specifications & Information: A.Product Data Sheets (as applicable) 1.Model Number 2.Specification Sheet 3.Development and/or production status B.What is the state of transmission development? C.What is the space claim? Can you provide dimensional information? D.What is the transmission weight? E.What are the cooling requirements? F.What is the power take-off (PTO) capability? G.What is the expected developmental cost and schedule to achieve TRL 6 by March of 2019? H.Is there anyone else currently using the transmission and is it in a military environment or otherwise? I.Do you have other current research and development efforts supporting this transmission? J.Are you willing to cost-share the development of the transmission for this effort? K.What is the input speed range of the transmission? L.What is the maximum output speed in forward gear? M.What is the maximum output torque in forward gear at stall? N.What is the maximum output speed in reverse gear? O.What is the maximum output torque in reverse gear? P.What is the efficiency of the transmission across its output speed/torque range? Q.What is the oil-supply temperature requirement? R.What are the maximum braking torque and power of the transmission at full speed? S.Do you have data to support the product information provided? If so, please provide.
