- Description
- 1. General Information. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This Request for Information (RFI) initiates market research under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10.002(b)(2)(iii). This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Marine Corps is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. 2. Description. The Program Manager, Engineer Systems (PM ES), Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Program Office in support of Marine Corps Systems Command, is seeking information on existing Radiographic Grid Aim Overlay systems. This capability provides a grid overlay on X-ray images which allows the operator to precisely target components of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) or Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) during EOD render safe procedures. This capability ensures a high level of accuracy by providing a reference that identifies the precise target point when targeting individual components inside an IED/WMD during render safe procedures with energetic EOD tools and equipment. 3. Background. PM ES Program Office is conducting market research to obtain information on commercial sources capable of providing a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), Non-Developmental Item (NDI) Radiographic Grid Aim Overlay capability. This capability will support the Marine Corps EOD mission while performing the operational tasks of diagnosing and rendering safe IEDs and WMDs that present a threat to operations, installations, personnel, or materiel. 4. System Characteristics. This system at a minimum will consist of three grid aim plates, boresight laser, reference laser, copper filter, transport case, mounting accessories and a tripod. The tripod will allow for the mounting of the XRS-3 Radiography Imaging System associated with the EOD Table of Authorized Materiel Control Number (TAMCN) E01597G, and the Percussion Actuated Neutralizer TAMCN E302212E. This system will be compatible with the Sandia National Laboratory X-Ray Tool Kit (XTK) computer software. This system will integrate with the EOD Radiography Imaging System TAMCN E01597G. Upon taking an image of the IED/WMD, the Radiographic Grid Aim Overlay provides a superimposed grid with known reference points, enabling EOD technicians to accurately target components and determine aim points within the IED/WMD using the Sandia National Laboratory XTK computer software. After imaging the IED/WMD, the XRS-3 can be removed from the tripod to allow attachment of the Percussion Actuated Neutralizer TAMCN E302212E, aligning the firing plane of the Percussion Actuated Neutralizer with the imaging plane of the Radiography Imaging System. This alignment minimizes inaccuracies due to mismatched imaging and firing locations. 5. Performance Requirements. The Radiographic Grid Aim Overlay capability must meet the following requirements: a) This capability will provide one 10.5" X 7.5" and two 17.5" X 14.5" Grid Aim Plates. b) The Grid Aim Plates will have affixed tungsten markers and a visible grid reference system. c) This capability will have a copper filter of 10MIL (0.01") thickness that is interoperable with the XRS-3 X-ray sources. This filter is intended to reduce overall noise in the X-ray image. d) The Tripod will have a mating adapter plate for the XRS-3, and the Percussion Actuated Neutralizer TAMCN E302212E weapons block. 6. Delivery Schedule. Provide an estimate for how many systems can be produced per month. Provide an additional estimate for how long it will take to deliver 350 systems. Break the schedule down into units per month starting at production through 350 systems. Include any production lead time and surge capacity. This estimate will provide the PM ES Program Office information for planning purposes. 7. Rough Order of Magnitude. The vendor shall provide a Rough Order of Magnitude for the proposed Radiographic Grid Aim Overlay capability in terms of unit cost for the system, technical publications, training materials and step ladder pricing for 350 systems. These figures are intended for planning purposes only and are considered non-binding. 8. Business Type & Size. The vendor shall provide business type, NAICS code if possible, small business classification and company size when responding to this RFI. 9. Additional Documentation. The following information is intended to provide insight into the information required to support the procurement of a Radiographic Grid Aim Overlay capability. This information is sample verbiage for items that would likely be requested in a formal Statement of Work. This information is meant to inform potential vendors regarding supportability requirements and potential deliverables. Although questions and feedback are welcome, no response is required for the following items: -Unique Identification (UID). The contractor shall implement specific Item Unique Identification (IUID) markings, as defined in MIL-STD-130 and DFARS clause 252.211-7003. Bar Coding and the two-dimensional IUID data matrix shall be machine-readable with common optical scanning devices and be accompanied by the corresponding human readable markings when practical. -Testing Validation. This system must be able to pass several testing and safety requirements before the system can be fielded. In support of system validation, the contractor should provide any testing data on this system conducted by either the contractor or any external testing facility. -Logistics Support. The contractor shall describe their approach to logistics support for the Radiographic Grid Aim Overlay capability throughout its service life. -Provisioning Technical Documentation. The contractor shall develop and document Provisioning Technical Documentation to include, but not be limited to a Provisioning Parts List (PPL), Long Lead Time Items List (LLTIL), Common and Bulk Items List (CBIL) and any Design Change Notices. -Supplemental Data for Provisioning (SDFP). SDFP is also referred to as Engineering Data for Provisioning. SDFP is technical data used to fully describe parts and equipment for cataloging purposes. -Technical Manual. The contractor shall prepare technical/operator's manuals. -Training Products and Services. The contractor shall provide a training package in accordance with NAVMC 1553.1A, Marine Corps Instructional Systems Design/Systems Approach to Training and Educational Handbook. The training shall be written to cover critical tasks required for operation and maintenance (if required) of the system. -Government Contract/Schedule. The contractor shall identify if the system is currently on any Government contract or is available through the Defense Logistics Agency or General Services Administration. -Additional X-ray Sources. The contractor shall identify if the system copper filter and tripod are compatible with the XRS-150, XRS-4 or any other X-ray source. Commercial sources possessing the capability to accomplish this requirement are invited to submit a statement of qualification, enclose product literature, past performance information, current General Services Administration or other schedule information (if applicable), and price schedules or catalogues. RFI responses shall be received by Program Manager, Engineer Systems, no later than 04 December 2017, 10:00 AM EST. Product information must be submitted via email to Mr. Jamie Fullinwider, at Jamie.Fullinwider@usmc.mil. Telephone responses will not be honored. Submissions are for market research and all materials will be retained in confidence. Any vendor proprietary information must be marked as such on a page-by-page basis. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned. THE SUBMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION IS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO PROCURE ANY ITEMS OR SERVICES, OR FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR THE INFORMATION RECEIVED. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS.
