Description

MARKET RESEARCH. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS. The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is conducting current market research for potential sources to manufacture a Body Armor System Combat Vehicle Crewmen (BASC). The BASC system will require a body armor solution that allows Combat Vehicle Crewman (CVC) Commanders to tailor protection to the mission, situation and environment. Conceptually the BASC will be worn over the CVC coverall and consist of: a soft armor vest (SAV) meeting the ballistic requirements, and at least the area of coverage, of CO/PD 00-02G (Outer Tactical Vest (OTV); a plate carrier (PC) to allow the use and appropriate adjustment (to adjust and retain proper position) of E-SAPI plates (front, back and sides); a detachable Load Bearing Capability (MOLLE/PALS) to carry a minimum load of six (6) M-16/M-4 magazines, two (2) 9mm magazines and one (1) Improved First Aid Kit (IFAK). The back of the SAV shall cover to the base of the spine while seated. The SAV must have an extraction strap capable of lifting an unconscious Marine (up to 250 lbs) vertically through a combat vehicle hatch. All components shall be flame resistant (ASTM D6413), anti-static (dissipate a charge of +/- 4000 volts within0.5 seconds) and anti-microbial (reduction rate of >90% for Staphylococcus Aureus and Psuedomonas Aeruginosa) and compatible with the CVC coverall, CVC helmet, USMC hydration system, and load carriage equipment. Small Arms Vest Attributes: The SAV shall be front-opening with a reliable closure that allows rapid donning and doffing, be designed without snag hazards, incorporate removable throat, yoke, collar assemblies, and groin protection, as well as, a detachable rifle bolsters that can be located on either shoulder. PC Attributes: The PC shall have no inherent soft armor (unless required for adequate coverage of side E-SAPI), allow for rapid donning and doffing, be designed so as to minimize/eliminate snag hazards and, should a cummerbund be used, the side E-SAPI will be internally carried. When worn with the SAV, the PC shall not interfere with the use of the extraction handle on either the SAV or the CVC coverall. The PC shall be capable of quick doffing in an emergency situation. Load Carriage: The personal fighting load-carriage solution shall be capable of easy attachment/detachment. When attached, it shall remain in place throughout violent motion when fully loaded and must be capable of separate storage in the vehicle. A detachable carrier must be capable of prolonged use in austere operational environments and must be able to support the weight of the combat load described above. REQUEST FOR WRITTEN RESPONSES: No industry day is planned. Responses from interested businesses should include the following: 1) Business name, business size, address, and point of contact information (name, email and phone number). 2) Manufacturing capability to provide approximately 10,000 BASCs (including soft armor panels that meet all of the Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) ballistic requirements referenced in paragraphs 3.5 thru 3.5.3 of CO/PD 00-02G) at a rate of approximately 2,500 per month beginning no earlier than the 4th quarter of FY11. Include information about capacity and quantities of facilities, equipment, personnel, established quality assurance processes and corrective action methods. Also include information regarding anticipated future production efforts that your company will likely be engaged in during the period of 1 Oct 12 thru 1 Oct 13. 3) Past performance information on current and previous contracts performed within the past three (3) years for items similar in size and complexity to the BASC effort.
