61 -- ELECTRICAL WIRE, POWER, AND DISTRIBUTION SOL DAAB07-99-R-B404 DUE 021899 POC Point of Contact -- Christopher Blumberg, Contract Specialist, 732-427-1668. Contracting Officer -- Sharon Wilson, 732-532-4964. WEB: CECOM Acquisition Center's Business Opportunities Page, http://acbop.monmouth.army.mil. E-MAIL: Click here to e-mail the POC, blumberg@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. This program incorporates a multi-phase strategy for procuring the 100 kW and 200 kW Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG) sets. The phases are: Phase I, Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) (14 months), Phase II Option Continued EMD (21 months) and Phase III Option Full Scale Production (10 years). In the solicitation, offerors will be required to submit technical, logistical, past performance, small business and small disadvantaged participation plan, and cost proposals for the accomplishment of Phase I and Phase II and a price proposal for Phase III. Based on these proposals, one or more contractor(s) will be selected on a "best value" basis and awarded a contract to enter Phase I EMD. The contractor(s) selected to participate in Phase I will develop and deliver two 100kW, 50/60 Hz (one skid and one trailer mounted) and two 200kW, 50/60 Hz prototype generator sets (one skid and one trailer mounted). The contractor(s) will configure both size generator sets onto government furnished equipment (GFE) trailers in support of Phase I testing. These models will be tested per the Purchase Description (PD). In the case of a multiple contract award in Phase I, a government "down-select" process will then be conducted to choose the "best value" contractor to continue into Phase II. During Phase II, pre-production units will be manufactured by the selected contractor, based on their Phase I prototype. The Phase II contractor will build twelve of both size generator sets. Ten (eight skid and two trailer mounted) of the twelve generator sets will undergo Pre-Production Qualification Test (PPQT) per the PD, conducted by both the government and the contractor and the remaining two (one skid and one trailer mounted) will undergo Operational Test (OT) conducted by the government. The contractor testing will be witnessed by the government. The contractor will configure both size generator sets onto government furnished trailers in support of Phase II testing as required. Six five ton trailers will be provided as GFE to the Phase II contractor. A Phase III option may be awarded to the Phase II contractor upon successful completion of Phase II testing. The Phase III option will be exercised as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) relationship. Phase III will authorize production requirements within a ten year ordering period. Delivery will be from FY03 through FY13. The total "fleet" requirement for DoD based on the September 1998 estimate is approximately 1459 100kW sets and 835 200kW sets.
