- Description
- THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. This notice is for information and planning purposes only. In accordance with Part 10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the Government is conducting market research to determine the availability and adequacy of potential business sources in delivering the hardware and/or software solutions required to meet the Government's requirements in Section 2.0 below. This Request for Information (RFI) does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals, and it is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. The information herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a competitive contract. Proprietary information will be accepted and handled appropriately in accordance with Federal regulations and guidelines. Responders should indicate which portions of their responses are proprietary and should mark them accordingly. The Government is not obligated to and will not reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice and submittals will not be returned to the sender. This RFI is from Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Detachment 12 (Kessel Run), located at 11 Barksdale Street, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731. 1.0 Background The Government is researching solutions for battery replacement services for up to 500 NVIDIA 3DVision1 and 3DVision 2 Stereo Glasses (hereafter referred to as �glasses�). These glasses are powered by Tiny Circuits Part Number ASR00011 70mAh Li-Poly batteries with reverse polarity wiring (hereafter referred to as �batteries�). These batteries must be carefully removed from the glasses, a process that requires some effort, and then replaced with new batteries. The old batteries must be disposed of appropriately, and the glasses must be reassembled without any damage, as NVIDIA no longer produces these models and the glasses are not replaceable. Note: the two versions of the glasses have slightly different procedures for removing and replacing the batteries. Additionally, the glasses must be received via mail carrier and the glasses with new batteries back must be shipped back to the units of origin. 2.0 Description of Program Requirements The Government is conducting market research to determine sources that can provide solutions for battery replacement services meet the outlined requirements below: Procure up to 500 batteries (the exact quantity is to be determined, based on the quantity of glasses requiring battery replacement). Confirm that any materials procured as part of the battery replacement are in compliance with the Trade Agreement Act (TAA). Receive the glasses via mail carrier and then ship the glasses with new batteries back to the units of origin. Battery replacements must take place with minimal, if any, damage to the glasses. Some cosmetic scratches, nicks and indentations may occur to the plastic casing of the glasses, but the intent is not to damage the glasses� structural integrity, wearability, or active shutter functionality which enables 3D viewing. 3.0 Required Information Your response should include a description of the solution and resources that would be used to meet the above requirements. Response Structure Responses are due no later than 15 April 2021, 1600 EST. Responses shall be submitted via e-mail to michael.cenedella.1@us.af.mil� and victoria.bowley@us.af.mil. Please be advised that all submissions become Government property and will not be returned. The response shall provide administrative information not to exceed five (5) pages, covering at a minimum: Company name, mailing address, CAGE code, DUNS, phone number, fax number, and e-mail of designated point of contact (POC). Identify business type (large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a)-certified small disadvantaged business, HUBZone small business, woman-owned small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business) based upon North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334210 - Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing. Identify any contract vehicles for which you are a contract holder (i.e. GSA FSS, GWACS, etc.).
