- Description
- RFI Industry Brief This announcement constitutes an RFI notice for planning purposes. The next Experimental Forward Operating Base demonstration (ExFOB 2013-1) will be held at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Twenty-nine Palms, California, from 6 through 10 May 2013. The focus of ExFOB 2013-1 is hybrid power systems that could enhance combat effectiveness and reduce logistics support of Patrol Bases (PBs) and Forward Operating Bases (FOBs). The due date for responses to this RFI is midnight on 1 March 2013. The objective of ExFOB 2013-1 is to increase the Marine Corps' knowledge of the state of current commercial hybrid systems and the technological challenges that may be associated with moving these commercial technologies to viable military capabilities i.e. size, weight, durability, etc., within each of these four categories. ExFOB 2013-1 follows the recently completed Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) for Mobile Electric Hybrid Power Source (MEHPS). The AoA provides preliminary analysis concerning the power demands, attributes, and transport requirements of each of the four categories of systems. As part of this analysis, USMC utilized a micro power optimization modeling tool to measure the performance and fuel reduction capability of simulated systems within these categories versus USMC program of record gear at specific power demand profiles. The results of the AoA were presented at the MEHPS Brief to Industry held on 31 January 2013 at Marine Corps Base Quantico. The presentation from that event is available at www.fbo.gov and www.hqmc.marines.mil/e2o. SUBMISSION PROCESS AND DUE DATE: The ExFOB Team has partnered with the U.S. Army's joint ground systems Enterprise Market Investigation Process (EMIP) to manage the ExFOB 2013-1 RFI process. To respond to this RFI, please visit http://www.peocscss.army.mil/EMIP.html, complete an EMIP Technology Application Idea Submission Form (see attached PDF document for a sample submission form) and send via e-mail to: usarmy.detroit.peo-cs-css.mbx.truck-tech@mail.mil with cc to energy@usmc.mil. Please do not attach marketing brochures, test reports, or other extraneous materials to your Submission Form as they will not be reviewed. The due date for responses to this RFI is midnight on 1 March 2013. If your technology is of interest, the ExFOB Team will contact you with an invitation to participate in ExFOB 2013-1 at MCAGCC Twenty-nine Palms, California, from 6 through 10 May 2013. NOTE: This RFI is issued for the purpose of determining market capability of sources and does not constitute an Invitation for Bid (IFB), a Request for Proposal (RFP), a Request for Quote (RFQ) or an indication that the Government will contract for any of the items and/or services contained in this notice.
