32544-5273 3830 -- AIR-TRANSPORTABLE TRAILER, POTENTIAL SOURCES SOUGHT DUE 012796
POC CARMELLA A. NOLL /CONTRACTING OFFICER HQ AFSOC 100 Bartley St. STE
224 Hurlburt Fld. FL 32544-5273 (904) 884-2435 Market survey/request
for information (RFI). AFSOC is soliciting information from public and
private sector commercial organizations on the design and build of an
air-transportable (tie-down/sling points) trailer to enhance the rapid
deployment of the Textron-manufactured mobile microwave landing system
(MMLS). The MMLS is a lightweight, transportable, ground-based
precision guidance approach system that provides a cat ii landing
capability for aircraft equipped with MLS avionics. When deployed it is
in a split-site configuration with system equipment separated by some
extended distance. The MMLS is currently transported in several cases
weighing 1500 lbs which can be loaded on a 463L Pallet, a M101A2
trailer, or a M998 HMMWV. AFSOC seeks a trailer whose design protects
an assembled MMLS on the trailer bed during both transportation and
operation, eliminates the need for transport cases and minimizes time
(within 5 minutes) needed to setup in the field with minimum lifting
and attachment of components by field personnel. Trailer must provide
a roll on roll off capability; be air-transportable by cargo aircraft
(C130, C141, C5, C17, UH47, AND V 22) and on the ground with a ball or
pintle hook compatible with a tow vehicle (HMMWV or ATV QUAD). Trailer
should offer levelers and locking down during field setup; dual
mounting that allows the four generators to be removed from the trailer
in the field if required; antenna folddown; split site or collocated
siting option, .; Shock and vibration protection during transportation,
including during towing conditions over paved and unpaved surfaces when
towed at 55 mph. Trailer mounting must not degrade the ability of the
MMLS to meet its system requirements. Responses to this market
Survey/Rfi should provide information on fielded systems that meet this
requirement; fielded systems that can be modified to meet this
requirement; or technical capability to design/build with special
emphasis on demonstrated experience with similar trailer applications.
Firms responding to this RFI should indicate whether or not they are
a small or small disadvantaged business concern as defined in far
52.210-1 and 52.219-2. Sic code 3715 applies. All corporate and
proprietary information should be so marked and will be fully protected
to the extend allowed. Respondents may request and receive the
technical order for the MMLS by submitting a fax request. .responses to
the market Survey/Rfi should be sent to the agency or faxed to
904-884-2476. AFSOC is under no obligation to pay for any material
provided. This is not a request for proposal, but rather a market
Survey/Rfi and may not result in a future contract. (0354) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0202 19961224\38-0001.SOL)
