- Description
- 1. Introduction ? Intra-Connector Material Handling System (ICMH) ATI requests a Cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) proposal for Phase 1 of the subject project in support of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for the Seabasing Future Naval Capability (FNC). The ONR FNC has a need for an automated, self-tensioning cargo restraint technology to support cargo movement on U.S. Navy hovercraft. The technology must be self-contained, capable of automatically tensioning, be self-adjusting under load restraining operations, be automatically released/de-tensioned and provide remote operation capability. Other desired capabilities are a system operating condition status, commonly referred to as ?health monitoring? and selective load assignment to permit load de-tensioning for each selected cargo load, essentially an ?item-by-item? unloading capability. The complete RFP, including project specific evaluation criteria, is available at www.nsrp.org/seabasing/susd-icmh.html. Submission of a response to this RFP is entirely voluntary and any and all costs of participation in this process will be the complete responsibility of the respondent. 2. Funding and Period of Performance The funding anticipated for Phase I of the project will be limited to a maximum of $300,000 for each awardee. It is anticipated up to three Phase I proposals may be funded with a down-select to one following the completion of the initial six-month Phase I effort. The anticipated period of performance for Phase I is six (6) months from contract award date, which is anticipated to be in October 2006. The complete project (Phase I & II) inclusive of options is anticipated to be 36 months or less in length. ATI reserves the right to select for award any, all, part, or none of the proposals received in response to this RFP. 3. Proposal Submission Deadline The cost and technical proposal packages must be submitted no later than 2:00 pm (EST), Wednesday, August 30, 2006. If selected, it is expected that a project will be awarded in October 2006. See RFP for detailed submission guidance. 4.
