- Description
- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE. The Naval Air Warfare Center Lakehurst is requesting information pertaining to the replacement of the existing A/M32C-17 (landbased) and A/M32C-21 (shipboard) Air Conditioners (ACs). For the purposes of this RFI, the new Landbased Variant Air Conditioner will be called the LVAC, and the new Shipboard Variant Air Conditioner will be called the SVAC. The SVAC shall be an electric powered unit and will be required to operate on CV/CVNs and air capable amphibious ships. The LVAC shall be an electric and self powered unit required to operate at shore facilities and remote sites. The Government is requesting information on the availability of units capable of performing the requirements stated herein. The desire is to procure the two variants with common parts, differing only to meet the specific landbased vs shipboard unique requirements. Both ACs are to provide conditioned air at the end of a 35 ft duct at a temperature of 40 deg F, with variable pressure between 0-3.5 psig, and variable air flow between 25 - 100 pounds per minute (ppm). They shall also be capable of providing air at 45 deg F / 25 ppm / 6.6 psig. The units shall be capable of operating as a dehumidifier delivering air at 90 deg F, 30% relative humidity, with an ambient temperature of 105 deg F and 50% relative humidity. The units require a mobile platform, towable at 15 mph, capable of being lifted by forklift and/or sling, have a ground clearance of at least 7.5”, and be transportable by truck, rail and air (C-5, C-17, C-130, CH-53). In addition, the SVAC’s size shall be limited to 100”L x 72” W x 42” H and 4,500 lbs (smaller and lighter preferred). The units shall be capable of operating in temperatures ranging from 0 deg F to 140 deg F (LVAC), and 0 deg F to 125 deg F (SVAC). The units shall operate on electric power input of 440 VAC, 60 Hz, 100 AMP, 3 phase. The units shall meet environmental, EMI and mobility criteria. The SVAC shall also meet vibration (per Mil-Std-167) and shock (per Mil-S-901) requirements. As required for any typical Navy Support Equipment (SE), the units shall be highly reliable, maintainable, and supportable. Please provide commercial pamphlets, operating and maintenance manuals, or any other documentation that would describe units to meet the above requirements. Additionally, it requested that interested sources include estimated price information in their submission for projected unit costs. It is anticipated that if a solicitation is issued it will be for a quantity of up to approximately 167 LVACs and 37 SVACs. It is requested that information be submitted NO LATER THAN 17 March 2009 to Ms. Lori Bishop, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Code 25221B562-3, Highway 547, Lakehurst, NJ 08733-5082, or by electronic mail at: lori.bishop@navy.mil.

Respondents are notified that a formal solicitation MAY NOT necessarily result from the RFI. Any comments provided may or may not be included in a formal solicitation. The Government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to this RFI nor will the Government compensate any respondent with costs incurred in developing the information provided to the Government.
