- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is issuing a Request For Information (RFI) for all potential sources who may have technologies or systems relating to the design, production, and maintenance/repair of Load Moment Indicator (LMI) systems and load cells that may be integrated into LSD-41/49 Class Deck Cranes. There are eight (8) LSD-41 Class Ships, each has two (2) cranes, a 60 Ton and 20 Ton Deck Crane. There are four (4) LSD-49 Class Ships, each has one 30 Ton crane. All cranes have a 5 Ton auxiliary hook. Each crane consists of one (1) LMI system. Each LMI system has two (2) load cells (one(1) main hook and one (1) auxiliary hook), one (1) angle indicator, one (1) display for all information, one (1) power filter, EMI shielded enclosures, EMI shielded conduit, EMI shielded connectors, and EMI shielded wires. All load cell designs must not exceed 35% of yield strength when under the rated load. All load cells must be weight pull tested to 200% of rated load with no permanent deformation or damage. All designs must electronically transmit data to LMI display via EMI shielded wires within EMI shielded conduits. All components shall be enclosed in an EMI shielded enclosure with EMI shielded mil-spec connectors. LMI systems and load cells designs must conform to MIL-S-901D Grade B (shock), MIL-STD-1310G (electronic grounding and EMI compatibility), MIL-STD-882 (safety), MIL-DTL-38999L (electric connectors), MIL-STD-167A-1A (vibration), MIL-STD-810 (environmental considerations), MIL-STD-461F (EMI). In addition all designs must be designed with a mean time between failures of 4,000 hours. All designs must allow ship's force to maintain and calibrated when needed. All LMI displays must have a non-mechanical audio and visual alarm that activates when the load exceeds the rated load capacity. This RFI does not bind the Government to offer contracts to responding companies. The information provided will assist NSWCCD in the development and refinement of future procurement and acquisition strategies. Defense and commercial contractors, including small businesses, veteran-owned businesses, service-disabled veteran owned businesses, HUBZone small businesses, and woman-owned small businesses are encouraged to participate. Responses: Responses to this RFI should include supporting materials that details experience, competence, and an overall understanding of the requirements that NSWCCD has identified. The following information is requested (please indicate whether the provided information is estimated or actual): 1) a description of the system, 2) the development timeline, 3) the non-reoccurring engineering costs, 3a) unit production cost estimates identified for the LMI system and load cell options, and identify sensitivity of production cost to volume of sales (quantity discounts), 4) minimum annual reduction LMI system and load cell purchases to sustain production, 5) load cell dimensions and description 6) LMI display features, 7) LMI display dimensions 8) angle indicator dimensions and information 9) technical constraints that are limiting the ability to provide a LMI system or adding risk in terms of technical or schedule performance. The NSWCCD Hull and Deck Machinery Systems (NSWCCD 9730) requests your responses no later than 30 January 2009. E-mail submissions should be sent to Mr. Gregory Misiak at: gregory.misiak@navy.mil and mail submissions shall be sent to the following address: Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), Code 9730, 5001 South Broad Street, Building 4, Philadelphia, PA 19112, Attn: Mr. Gregory Misiak and labeled as "RFI FOR LSD-41/49 CLASS DECK CRANE LOAD MOMENT INDICATOR AND LOAD CELL SYSTEM". All questions may be submitted electronically to: gregory.misiak@navy.mil. All information provided will be treated as Business Sensitive and will not be shared outside of Government activities and agencies without the permission of the provider. All information shall be provided free of charge to the Government. NSWCCD may request further information regarding the capabilities of respondents to meet the requirements, and may request a presentation and/or site visit as d! eemed necessary.
