Description

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. THIS RFI IS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INVITATION FOR BIDS, REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, OR REQUEST FOR QUOTES. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT REIMBURSE RESPONDENTS FOR ANY COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION BEING REQUESTED OR REIMBURSE EXPENSES INCURRED TO THE INTERESTED PARTIES FOR RESPONSES. The U.S. Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005, is conducting this RFI to on behalf of Program Executive Officer (PEO) Intelligence & Electronic Warfare & Surveillance (IEW&S), Program Manager (PM) Electronic Warfare (EW), PdM (CREW) to identify potential sources for an urgent delivery of antenna and related component items, as describe below, to allow Duke V3 systems to operate on non-tactical vehicle (NTV) platforms. Description: Requirements have been identified for an urgent delivery of antennae and related components to Afganistan to allow Duke V3 systems to operate from NTV platforms. Duke V3 systems provide enhanced force protection against Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) threats for occupants in wheeled and tracked vehicle platforms and within vicinity of fixed site positions. In response, this office intends to award a sole source contract to First RF Corporation, 4865 Sterling Drive, Boulder, CO 80301. First RF Corporation previously provided all antennae for the Army Duke system under contract W15P7T-09-D-M615 with SRCTec Inc. The contract has expired. This requirement consists of an urgent shipment and delivery of the following components: FRF 203L&M Antenna Kit - 190 each Antenna SU, housing - 220 each Lights - 440 each Diplexer Jumper Cables - 195 FRF-203 Antenna Cables - 372 Based on the urgency of the requirement, the Government cannot accept substitute items or allow for test and evaluation of proposed items. The Government requests that interested parties submit white papers that fully describe their ability to deliver the above components only. The Government does not intend to conduct one-on-one discussions. NOTE THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO CONDUCT DISCUSSION OR REQUEST DEMONSTRATION, NOR IS IT LIABLE FOR ANY COSTS OR EXPENSES INCURRED IN RESPONDING TO THIS RFI. Response Format: The paper must include company name, company address, overnight delivery address (if different from mailing address), cage code, point of contact, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number; business size, unique qualifiers (e.g. large, foreign, small disadvantage, veteran owned, woman owned, etc.). RFI responses are limited to 3 pages, excluding cover page, administrative pages. Responses shall be written using 10 point Times New Roman, single spaced, with one (1) inch margins in Microsoft Word Office 2007 compatible format. The Government acknowledges its obligation under 18 U.S.C. 1905 to protect information qualifying as confidential under this statute. Pursuant to this statute, the Government is willing to accept any proprietary (e.g., trade secret) restrictions placed on qualifying data forwarded in response and to protect it from unauthorized disclosure subject to the following: 1.Clearly and conspicuously mark qualifying data with the restrictive legend (all caps) PROPRIETARY with any explanatory text, so that the Government is clearly notified of what data needs to be appropriately protected. 2.In marking such data, please take care to mark only those portions of the data or materials that are truly proprietary (over breadth in marking inappropriate data as proprietary may diminish or eliminate the usefulness of your response-see item 3 below). Use circling, underscoring, highlighting or any other appropriate means to indicate those portions of a single page which are to be protected. 3.The Government is not obligated to protect unmarked data. Additionally, marked data that is already in the public domain or in the possession of the Government or third parties, or is afterward placed into the public domain by the owner or another party through no fault of the Government will not be protected once in the public domain. Data already in the possession of the Government will be protected in accordance with the Government's rights in the data. 4.Proprietary data transmitted electronically, whether by physical media or not, whether by the respondent or by the government, shall contain the proprietary legend, with any explanatory text, on both the cover of the transmittal e-mail and the beginning of the file itself. Where appropriate for only portions of an electronic file, identify where the restrictive legends proprietary portion begins and where the proprietary portion ends. RESPONSE Deadline and Submissions: Parties may begin submitting responses to this Request For Information immediately with all white paper submissions due at the below location no later than 5pm (1700) on 7 November 2014. The information provided in response to this RFI will be used to determine whether other sources exist with an ability to deliver the required items to meet the needs of the urgency, and ultimately may result in the Government developing and issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to industry for award of contract.
