23RD AVE, PORT HUENEME CA 93043-4301 A -- BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT FOR COMBAT ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES.
SOL N474089511FXW001 DUE 041395 POC Procurement Technician, Fusako
Winchester, 805-982-5098 This announcement constitutes the Broad Agency
Announcement (BAA) for the Naval Engineering Facilities Service Center
(NFESC) under FAR 6.102(d)(2) to solicit proposal for basic and
applied research for innovative technology solutions. Part of the
proposed project areas listed in the BAA is being considered 100%
set-aside for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) or
Minority Institutions (MIs) as defined by the clause at 252.226-7000 of
the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. Interested HBCUs
and MIs should provide the contracting office as early as possible, but
not later than 15 days after this notice, evidence of their capability
to perfoorm the contract, and a positive statement of their
eligibility as an HBCU or MIs. If adequate response is not received
from HBCUs and MIs, the solicitation will instead be issued, without
further notice, as unrestricted, to academic institutions, non profit
organizations, and private industry. Awards may be made at any time
throughout the year. Awards decisions on proposal will be based on a
competitive selection of proposals from a peer/scientific review.
Persons contemplating submission of a proposal should obtain further
information and all from required for submitting a proposal by
contracting the Commanding Officer, Naval Facilities Contracting
Office, Code 2711-6, Naval Construction Battalion Center, 1000 23rd
Avenue, Port Hueneme, CA 93043-4301, Attn: Ms. Rosalie Hammonds.
Questions regarding this BAA may be Faxed to (805) 982-1303. The NFESC
technical points be Faxed to (805) 982-3015. The NFESC technical
points of contact are Mr. Robert Johnston (805) 982-1305 and Mr.
Clifford Scaalan (805)982-1303. Contact with the appropriate NFESC
Engineer identified in this announcement to determine the extent of
interest in a specific research project is encouraged. All proposal
regarding this BAA should be submitted in writing to the address noted
above. In addition all proposals should reference this announcement
and should specifically identify the research area the proposal is
responding to. The deadline for submission of proposals is March 31,
1995. In accordance with FAR 15.407(c)(6) no proposal submitted after
this date will be considered for contract award. Multiple contacts with
funding ranging from $20,000 to $30,000 each may be awarded. The
following is a description of the RESEARCH required for this BAA.
EXPEDITIONARY COMBAT ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES: The objective is for
concept develop concepts for equipment/facilities to be used for the
receipt of airbone containerized cargo consisting of various types of
containers and flatracks, compatible with 8x8x20 ft. ISO container
specification, in an expeditionary or forward operating base
environment. A cargo delivery system is defined as a facilities or
system excluding the aircraft capable of receiving and handling these
containers from an airborne system. The facilities can either receive
the aircraft directly or receive air dropped logistics. The facilities
shall be compatible with various terrain and soil conditions. The
airborne delivery aircraft weigh in excess of 90 ton (gross weight)
with a landing speed in excess of 60 knots. Following is a list of
preliminary requirements which should be addressed in responses'
proposals, in order in which they are listed below. 1) The proposed
equipment should be capable of receiving containers with gross weights
to a maximum of 50,000 lbs 2) The facilities shall be constructed on
various soils within a 48 hour time frame. 3) The facilities (if
receiving the aircraft directly) shall have a length of 900 ft and a
width of 50 ft. 4) Containers are to be received/removed from the
aircraft and transported over the facilities surfaces. The facility may
incorporate mechanisms which provide for container movement over the
facility. 5) The time in minutes for the facilities to receive
containers must be minimized. 6) During the container acquisition
process, excessive container impacts are unacceptable. 7) Operations
over relatively rough terrain can be expected. 8) Included in the type
of container to be handled are fuel and water tank containers that
have significantly lower heights. 9) The capability for handling 40 ft
long ISO containers is desirable in the log term. 10) A desirable
range of load capability is between 25 ton and 90 ton depending on
whether the aircraft is grounded. Evaluations will be conducted using
the following evaluation criteria: 1) Overall technical or scientific
merit; 2) Potential contribution of the effort to the NFESC mission; 3)
The offeror's capabilities, related experience, facilities, techniques,
or unique combination of these which are integral factors for achieving
the objective; 4) the qualifications, capabilities, and experience of
the proposed principal investigator, team leader, or key personnel, and
5) The realism of the proposed costs. ob (0052) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0003 19950222\A-0003.SOL)
