Primary and secondary distribution equipment and camp cabling. 3. Walkway lighting. 4. Specialized storage equipment used to facilitate the transport and storage of the power generation system inside ISO shipping containers. The contractor will be required to implement an Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) program that will ensure that logistics support matters are considered in the development of the preliminary design concepts through the subsequent design and production of the equipment and associated support materials, training and documentation. SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS a. Delivery: Not later than 9 months after contract award. b. Partial Bidding: Partial offers will not be accepted. c.

A DOE is used to nominate an approved prime contractor to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project.
