Description

This is not a solicitation. This is a sources sought synopsis for market research to determine potential sources for Government evaluation. The Force Protection Systems Program Office (ESC/FD) wishes to identify sources to fabricate large concrete barricades at, or delivery to, six different locations. These barricades, to be known as Massive Modular Blocks (MMB), have been designed by Sandia National Laboratories, Department of Energy. The notional drawing package is posted on the Hanscom Electronic RFP Bulletin Board (HERBB) at http://www.herbb.hanscom.af.mil . The basic technical specifications are as follows, but the blocks will have site specific requirements: (1) Block dimensions are 10 feet long, 4=BD feet high, 30 inches thick; (2) Requires forklift tine holes for lifting; (3) Internal structure of Grade 60 #7 rebar placed horizontally and vertically throughout with 6 inch center to center spacing; (4) Tack-weld 100 random re-bar intersections; (5) Exterior =BD inch steel plate integrally tied to the rear of the block by use of deformed bar anchors welded to plate; (6) Plate is welded to steel angles to reinforce the ends of the block; (7) Blocks use 4,000 psi, air entrained, standard weight concrete; (8) Air content should be 4.5% -- 6%; and (9) Use of lightweight concrete is not acceptable. The locations for these blocks are Minot, ND, Shreveport, LA, Kansas City, KS, Las Vegas, NV, Great Falls, MT, and Cheyenne, WY. The Government prefers to award one contract for all six locations, but reserves the right to award more that one contract to one or more offerors. The potential exists for several hundred MMB's per location. Delivery of the initial units thirty (30) days after contract award is highly desirable. It is preferred but not required that all six locations be under one contract. The screening criteria will include the following: (1) Demonstrated technical expertise, (2) Adequate facilities and equipment to accommodate units of this size, and (3) Past performance. Respondents should provide a statement of capability, information on past performance, and a rough order of magnitude (ROM) for six (6) units and for one hundred (100) units. Interested potential sources should submit packages containing the above requested information by 11 January 2002 to ESC/FDK, 5 Eglin Street, Building 1624 1st Floor, Hanscom AFB Ma 01731-2100, Attn: Captain Julio A. Negron, Contract Manager. Electronic (Email) responses to the following addresses are encouraged: Capt Negron, Contract Manager, at julio.negron@hanscom.af.mil ; and Lt Johnston, Program Manager, at philip.johnston@hanscom.af.mil . This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor does its issuance restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. All respondents are requested to indicate if they are a large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a) concern, veteran-owned small business or women-owned small business. Indicate if you are a US or foreign owned company. Contractors will indicate whether or not their equipments and services are offered through the GSA schedule or any other government-wide agency contract. Published GSA prices, discounts, and any quantity price break information should also be provided. Contractors desiring to do business with the Government shall be registered in the DoD Central Contracting Reporting System (see http://www.ccr2000.com/). An Acquisition Ombudsman, Colonel Joseph P. Maryeski, Director, Commander's Staff, has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during proposal development. You should only contact the Ombudsman with issues or problems you cannot satisfactorily resolve with the program manager and/or contracting officer. The Ombudsman role is to hear concerns, issues, and recommendations and communicate these to the appropriate government personnel. The Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality if desired. The Ombudsman does not evaluate proposals or participate in source selection. You can contact the Ombudsman at (781) 377-5106.
