- Description
- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE. The following information is provided to assist the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAVAIR) Lakehurst, NJ in conducting market research of industry to identify if there are alternate options to meet United States Navy needs for the manufacturing and delivery of Air Conditioning Units with Heaters, Part Number 802-H-CUP (or ACU-802-H-CUP). The Air Conditioning/Heating units provide maximum passenger comfort in all types of aircraft. Using R-134a refrigerant, the ACU-802 Series are environmentally "Safe" causing no damage to the atmospheric ozone. The units employ an air-to-air refrigeration system, and for operators requiring heat, can be supplied with optional reverse-cycle "heat pump" system. Provisions are made to utilize engine coolant heat to augment the reverse-cycle heat mode. At this time, pending market research results, NAVAIR Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with TLD Ace Corporation for this procurement. TLD Ace Corporation is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Air Conditioning Unit with Heater (Part number: 802-H-CUP or ACU 802-H-CUP), and owns all proprietary rights to the engineering data and detailed product drawings. TLD Ace Corporation is the only source that is capable of providing the above items to the same form, fit, and function that is compatible with the existing configurations. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and is issued in conformance with DFARS PGI 206.302-1; it does not constitute an Invitation for Bid (IFB), a Request for Proposal (RFP), or a Request for Quote (RFQ). This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The Government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to this RFI, and the Government will not compensate the respondent for any cost incurred in developing the response to this RFI. Respondents are notified that a formal solicitation may not necessarily result from this RFI. Availability of any formal solicitation may be announced under a separate Federal Business Opportunities announcement. Any requests for copies of solicitations will not be addressed since this is an RFI, not an RFP. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP. Any comments provided may or may not be included in a formal solicitation. The Government will not release any information marked with a proprietary legend received in response to this RFI to any firms, agencies or individuals outside the Government without written permission in accordance with the legend. Please be advised that all submissions become Government property and will not be returned. All interested parties should send company and descriptive literature on currently available products that meet the Navy's requirements, described above. With the response, include a point of contact, phone number, e-mail address, website information, DUNS Number, CAGE Code, and Business Size Status for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of this RFI. Any responses in reference to this RFI shall be submitted electronically to the Contract Specialist, Cheryl Abele, at cheryl.a.abele@navy.mil with the subject line "P-8A Air Conditioning Unit with Heater."
