- Description
- Request for Information - Provide an additive capability for small volume JP-8 or commercial equivalent requirements in support of the Department of Defense (DLA Energy). Background : DLA, as the Executive Agent is responsible for providing MILSPEC bulk fuel product from the source to the end user IAW DOD 4140.25-M. The Services, in support of current DOD focus and strategic partnership building, have expanded exercise locations to include new sites in USPACOM, USEUCOM, and USAFRICOM areas of operation. In accordance with the Single Fuel Concept, the Services fuel requirements are for JP-8 or the commercial equivalent in support of aviation and tactical ground equipment. In those cases where this is not possible, DLA Energy is looking for potential solutions from the industry to provide these services worldwide with minimal notice. This RFI is specifically seeking companies who can provide injection service in support of small quantities of fuel (<1,000-20,000 gallons/day) per each location that meets military specification into possibly hostile environments worldwide. The services would include the necessary Service Provider equipment, fuel additives (Fuels System Icing Inhibitor (FSII), Static Dissipater Additive (SDA) & Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver Additive per specifications in MILSTD 3004 latest edition) and technicians to provide injection in support of small quantities of fuel in a manner that meets military specification worldwide. Responses should not exceed 25 pages and should address the following: •1) Firm's experience in providing like/similar services. •2) Potential technical approach(s)/solution(s) to satisfy the above mentioned performance requirement. Include considerations for Government Furnished additives and/or fuel if required. •3) Ability to train and equip deploying military units going into possible hostile environments. Conduct of training is conditions-based and is dependent on a unit's deployment timeline. 30-day notification to performance for exercise support and 48-96 hour notification to performance for crisis/contingency support. •4) Ability to provide fully deployable support (Injection Equipment, fuel additives and technicians) into possible hostile environment. •5) Rough Order Magnitude ( ROM) estimates, to include: a. Input on approach to minimize associated costs to the Government. b. Rough cost estimate for the firms provided technical approach(s)/solution(s) to support five exercise/deployment locations simultaneously with the ability to increase that amount to eight locations within 90 days, throughout the world. c. 30-day notification to performance for exercise support and 48-96 hour notification to performance for crisis/contingency support. d. Small requirements are defined as ability to inject between <1,000 to 20,000 Gallons/Day of neat commercial aviation fuel with all three required additives (FSII, SDA & CI) e. Injection can occur at suppliers' fuel terminal, at the supported military units deployed site or any location between source and military. Injection equipment and procedures need to provide options to interface between commercial tanker trucks and Military Fuel Handling Equipment (Military tanker trucks, refueling trucks, tactical fuel farms (collapsible fuel bags) etc....) and the proposed solution must cover all possible options. e. Assume that U.S. Government/Military Service will provide required pre-deployment overseas training (Country briefings, medical briefings etc.). f. Contractor will arrange for required overseas medical immunization of their deploying personnel. This may be arranged with U.S. Government/Military Service during pre-deployment training (Situational dependent) f. Assume that U.S. Government/Military may provide overseas transportation of contractor's equipment and fuel additives for overseas locations from Military/Commercial Airport of Embarkation of supported unit. Provide ROM for this scenario and for contractor providing transportation of equipment and fuel additives to overseas deployment location. h. Assume the U.S. Government/Military Service will provide security at the deployment site co-located with U.S. Government/Military Service. i. Assume the U.S. Government/Military Service will coordinate all host nation country clearances for contractors' technicians deploying with supported Military Service Unit. •6) Industry considerations/input on feasibility to maximize potential for utilizing the private sector to support this requirement, achieve efficiencies and reduce costs to the DOD.
