61 -- MULTI-FUEL INDEPENDENT POWER SUPPLY (MIPS) GENERATOR SET SOL F19628-95-R-0042 POC Dale M. Pease, Contracting Officer, 617-377-6395; Terry W. Moulton, Buyer, 617-377-5617. The Communications and Airspace Management Systems Directorate of the Air Force Material Command (AFMC), Electronics Systems Center (ESC) seeks to procure approximately eight hundred (800) MIPS Generator sets for operation by military personnel. This requirement was announced in the Commerce Business Daily 9 December 1994. Please note that some of the technical requirements for this item have changed since that announcement. These generator sets will provide power for the AN/GRC-206(V)5 Communications Pallet to be used by Tactical Air Control Parties (TACP), Combat Control Teams (CCT), and Combat Communications units in Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), Pacific, Air Forces (PACAF), and United States Air Force Europe (USAFE). The basic requirements for the MIPS generator set are as follows: minimum tested capability of 2 kW, 28 VDC (nominal), circuit breaker protected, multi-fuel including diesel DF-1&2, referee grade diesel, and JP-8, able to operate four consecutive hours without refueling, 140 pounds dry excluding all fluids and 160 pounds wet including full fluids, capable of starting by manual pull and electric start, LxWxH = 35x24x25 (inches). Controls must include: stop/start/run, power output switch, and field setable voltage output control. Meters must include: hour usage, output voltage, load, and frequency. Generator must interface with the AN/GRC-206 (V)5 auxiliary power cable and be designed with ruggedized frame including lifting points. Color, olive drab. Extensive market surveys conducted by the DoD Project Manager for Mobile Electric Power (PM-MEP) have determined that no commercial generator set is currently available which meets PM-MEP requirements. PM-MEP is therefore type qualifying a unit currently being produced for the Canadian military. ESC intends to issue a sole source solicitation to Mechron Energy, LTD, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on or about 20 October 1995. Contracting Officer is Mr. Dale M. Pease, 617-377-6395. The buyer is Mr. Terry Moulton, 617-377-5617. Point of contact for all programmatic or technical matters is 1Lt Brian Allen 617-377-5353. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0192)
