- Description
- Synopsis: This is a sources sought/request for information (RFI) synopsis stating that the United States Army is seeking potential vendors for a contemplated competitive solicitation for commercial generation and modification of CAD drawings and solid models. When responding, please indicate your company's small business status and if your company has experience with military design drawings. Please be advised that this is for informational purposes only, and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotation (RFQ). The Government is not responsible for any cost incurred in providing this information. Scope of Work: The US Army is looking for interested vendors for generation and modification of CAD drawings and solid models for Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC). NSRDEC has a responsibility for the development and maintenance of technical data packages used to procure its multiple commodities. This requires maintenance of the engineering data, such as drawings. Drawings are one of the most important components of a technical data package. Once an item has completed development and is ready for procurement, the drawing package is placed under configuration management and any subsequent changes (corrections, ECPs etc.) need to be strictly documented and recorded. This situation results in a sporadic level of activity involving drafting and the insertion of the changes into the drawing package so that it remains up-to-date, accurate, and available for procurement and reprocurement. We need to award a contract to provide the NSRDEC and Natick Soldier Systems Center (NSSC) partner organizations, with on-going drafting support for the generation and modification of drawings and drawing packages. The following work shall be performed on or off site at the customer's discretion. The Contractor shall deliver drawings and/or solid models in support of NSRDEC items. NSRDEC anticipates the following work may be needed to produce these deliverables: 1. Preparation of new drawings, i.e. detail drawings, interface drawings, and outline drawings, arrangement drawings or conceptual drawing. All drawings must be in compliance with MIL-T-31000 & ASME Y14.100. Drawings are in support of systems such as: • Composite rigid wall, fabric, and inflatable airbeam structures • Airdrop/aerial delivery equipment • Individual equipment and apparel • Field Feeding equipment 2. Reverse engineer fabric components / prototypes and deliver drawings with a sufficient level of sections, details and salient characteristics to allow for reproducibility by industrial base. 3. Review drawings and deliver mark-ups identifying deficiencies. 4. Modify existing drawings to incorporate changes as necessary. Drawings shall be in one of the following formats (as specified in individual task orders), with additional software utilized at the Government's discretion: • AutoCAD 2011 or higher, 2D and 3D • Solidworks - Solid Modeling • GTX Raster Cad Plus (Raster Conversion) Responses to this RFI should be constructed as a Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat document containing a description, of the vendor's ability to perform the above required support in compliance with MIL-T-31000 & ASME Y14.100 for like or similar items. Please send these responses as an email attachment to Mr. Mark Rinaldi (Mark.C.Rinaldi.civ@mail.mil). *Note: This notice is published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Part (FAR) Part 10, Market Research and FAR Part 15, Exchanges with Industry before Receipt of Proposal.
