The U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM), Product Manager for Petroleum and Water Systems, in Warren, Michigan, is seeking sources to provide a single source to the U.S. Army for Fuel Units (NSN 4930-01-377-8027). For nearly 13 years, the Fuel Unit has been a major component of the Inland Petroleum Distribution System (IPDS), which is a rapid-deployment, general support, bulk fuel storage unit. The Fuel Unit can accept fuel from a ship-to-shore hoseline, tanker-truck, or rail tank cars. It can simultaneously distribute fuel to tanker-trucks or back to the pipeline or transfer fuel from one Fuel Unit to another. A need to increase the number of Fuel Units in the current U.S. Army inventory, is based on increased world-wide requirements for the IPDS. The U.S. Government is projecting a procurement quantity of 42 each, Fuel Units, over the next five years. The purpose of this market survey questionnaire is to identify commercial hardware or technology that can satisfy the Fuel Unit requirement in lieu of industry coordination of the draft Purchase Descriptions. This questionnaire is strictly for information to be used by the Government only and will not be made available to any non-Government agency. You will not be compensated for your participation in this survey. We understand that the nature of several questions may require a commitment of time on your part. However, we need this information to best understand and evaluate your potential to provide the capability desired by the Government. Your cooperation in answering these questions will help us develop the best acquisition strategy for these systems.
