61 -- 100 AND 200 KW TACTICAL QUIET GENERATORS SOL DAAB07-99-R-B404 DUE 072099 POC Christopher Blumberg, 732-427-1668, Sharon Wilson, 732-532-4964 WEB: CECOM Acquisition Center's Business Opportunities Page, http://abop.monmouth.army.mil. E-MAIL: Contract Specialist email, Blumberg@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. This program incorporates a multi-phase strategy for procuring the 100 kW and 200 kW Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG) sets. The phases are: Phase I, Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) (15 months), Phase II Option Continued EMD (21 months)and Phase III Option Full Scale Production (10 years). In the solicitation, offerors will be required to submit Technical, Logistical, Performance Risk, Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Participation Plan, and Cost/Price proposals for Phases I and II. Based on these proposals, one or more contractor(s) will be selected on a "best value" basis and awarded an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to enter Phase I EMD (Cost Plus Fixed Fee) with options for Phases II and III. The contractor(s) selected to participate in Phase I will develop and deliver two (2) 100kW, 50/60 Hz (one skid and one trailer mounted) and two (2) 200kW, 50/60 Hz prototype generator sets (one skid and one trailer mounted). The contractor(s) will configure one unit of both size generator sets onto government furnished equipment (GFE) trailers in support of Phase I testing. These models will be tested per the Purchase Description (PD). In the case of a multiple contract award in Phase I, the government will assess the Phase I performance and exercise the Phase II option to the "best value" contractor. The evaluation criteria will consider test results from Phase I, revised technical and logistics proposals for Phases II and III, the original Cost/Price Proposal for Phase II, and the Price Proposal for Phase III. In the case of a single contract award during Phase I, the contractor will submit test results from Phase I, revised technical and logistics proposals for Phases II and III, and the Price Proposal for Phase III. These submissions will occur at the end of Phase I. Phase II (Engineering and Manufacturing Development) will be a Cost Plus Fixed Fee relationship to fabricate twelve (12) 100kW sets and twelve (12) 200kW sets which will undergo Pre-Production Qualification Testing (PPQT) by the contractor and the government. During this phase two (2) 100kW, two (2) 200kW sets, and four (4) refurbished Phase I prototypes will also undergo government operational testing (OT). Phase II sets will also be used to conduct the Pre-Production Physical Configuration Audit and Logistics Demonstration. Phase II culminates in the successful completion of the PPQT. A Phase III option may be awarded to the Phase II contractor upon successful completion of Phase II testing. Phase III will authorize production requirements within a ten year ordering period. Phase III will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) relationship with an Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) starting on the fourth year. Delivery will be from FY03 through FY13. The total "fleet" requirement for DoD is approximately 784 100kW sets and 389 200kW sets. Only offerors possessing SECRET Clearance may receive classified portions of the RFP, submit proposals, or become eligible for contract award. The U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) has established a Business Opportunities Page (BOP) website to allow electronic transmittal of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Invitation for Bids (IFBs) from CECOM to Industry and proposals from Industry to CECOM.
