61 -- DC/AC POWER INVERTER SOL DAAE20-99-T-0039 DUE 012999 POC Deb Juhl, AMSTA-AC-PCH-C, (309) 782-3370 WEB: Click here to download a copy of the RFQ when issued., http://www-acala1.ria.army.mil/ACALA/AAIS/padds_web/index.html. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contract specialist via, juhld@ria.army.mil. The requirement is for a DC/AC Power Inverter for use on the Shop Equipment, Contact Maintenance (SECM). The SECM is a mobile shop set on a HMMWV chassis. The estimated date of issue is 19 Jan 99. This procurement is 100 percent set aside for small businesses (under 500 employees). The acquisition will be a four year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a minimum quantity of 23 each and a maximum quantity of 950 each. The power inverter will have the following essential characteristics: The inverter shall output 220 VAC 60 HZ 3 phase electrical power (Y-configuration) suitable for derivative outputs of 220 VAC 60 HZ single phase and 120 VAC 60 HZ single phase power. The output waveform may be a pseudo-sine wave. A pure sine form is not required. The inverter shall have a continuous output rating of at least 5,000 watts. The inverter shall have surge capacity sufficient to start a rotary vane air compressor having a 220 VAC single-phase 2 HP motor. The inverter will also be used to operate an inverter-technology suitcase welder. The inverter shall be rated for continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The inverter shall mount within envelope dimensions of 26.5" wide by 11.0" high by 19.0" deep. The inverter control features and power input and output points shall be located on the front panel (26.5" wide X 11.0" high). The 24 VDC input point shall provide two single-barrel screw lugs capable of accepting 4/0 AWG cable. The 3 phase 220 VAC output point shall provide 4 termination lugs: 3 hot, 1 neutral, and one ground. The inverter shall be rated to accept input of 22 to 28 VDC. The inverter shall provide automatic low battery shutdown at 21 VDC with a surge delay of at least 5 seconds. The inverter shall provide the following safeguards: automatic electronic short circuit and overload protection, automatic high temperature shutdown, and an output overload circuit breaker. The inverter shall have indicator lights for power on, low voltage input, overload, high temperature, and low battery shutdown. The weight of the inverter shall not exceed 170 pounds. All circuit boards shall have conformal coating. The inverter shall be suitable for operation in military tactical vehicles and similar high-vibration environments. Posted 01/12/99 (W-SN287420).
