Description

US Army Communication-Electronics Command, CECOM Acquisition Center, AMSEL-AMSEL-ACCB-RT-F (R McGovern), BLDG 1208 West, WIN-T Branch SOURCES SOUGHT SURVEY FOR 30 & 60 KILOWATT (kW) ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS This is a Sources Sought Survey seeking Small Business sources which have the capability to provide the following: 30 & 60 KILOWATT (kW) 0.8 POWER FACTOR (pf), 400-HERTZ (Hz) AND 50/60-Hz ALTERNATING CURRENT (ac), DIESEL FUELED ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS. The U.S. ARMY Communications Electronics Command (CECOM), Point of Contact, Rosemary McGovern at (732) 532-5512, requests information from Small Business manufacturing sources regarding their capability to manufacture the current DoD 30 & 60 kW Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG) using Government furnished drawings or to provide a mature commercial design meeting required performance criteria. The current DoD 30 & 60 kW TQG generator sets meet the required specified performance criteria. Mobile Electric Power (MEP) 30 & 60 kW generator requirements are to be met with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-certified diesel fueled engine capable of operating on both diesel and turbine fuels, a brushless AC generator (50/60 Hz or 400 Hz), a microprocessor based digital display, and all normal operating controls and protective devices. The sets must be capable of remote operation and be parallelable with current "B" model generator set configurations. The equipment must provide full rated kW power over the full range of military ambient operating conditions (+120o F to -25o F), including 4,000 feet and 95o F. Output frequencies of these sets are 400-Hz and 50/60-Hz. Re-connectable voltage and phase connections for these sets are 120/208 -volt three phase and 240/416-volt three phase. Output connections shall be standard five wire including a neutral and ground connection. Split lug terminals shall be used. The permitted audio noise sound pressure level (SPL) for these sets are from 70 dB(A) at 7 meters from the set and 85 dB(A) at 0.7 meter from any point on the control panel. The sets shall also have a 24-volt starter system along with a 24-volt standard NATO slave receptacle. The sets shall be storable at any possible humidity from +160o F to -60o F and in a salt-fog environment. Include an onboard fuel tank capable of supporting eight hours of continuous operation at rated load and also have the capability of operating from external fuel sources. The set shall be operable when sited in any direction on uneven terrain with grades up to 15o. The engine exhaust shall exit the set in an upward direction. The sets shall survive the effects of High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HAEMP), be Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) survivable and meet standard military Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) requirements. The minimum reliability of the set shall be 600 hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) at a 80% Lower Confidence Level (LCL). The sets must also be marine, rail, highway and air transportable. Set weights and dimensions shall not exceed the following: 30 kW -- 3060 pounds, a length of 79.3 inches, a width of 35.3 inches, and a height of 54.1 inches; 60 kW -- 4230 pounds, a length of 86.3 inches, a width of 35.3 inches, and a height of 58.2 inches. The set weight is fully operational including oil, coolant, battery and a sufficient fuel to operate for 8 continuous hours at rated load. Responders to this announcement are cautioned that Purchase Description PD53133 contains additional performance criteria above those highlighted above. PD53133 is available upon request. The Government will not pay for information submitted in response to this announcement. All proprietary and restricted information shall be clearly marked. Estimated quantity is 4000 production units total from calendar year 2001 through 2007 with a delivery rate of approximately 75-100 units per month. The initial order will be for First Article pre-production models for testing which must be passed prior to production release. Request the following information be supplied as soon as possible, but not later that than 22 March 2001 to: US Army Communication-Electronics Command, CECOM Acquisition Center, AMSEL-AMSEL-AC-CA-RT-J (R McGovern), BLDG 1208 EAST, Avionics Branch. Electronic responses may be sent to rosemary.mcgovern@mail1.monmouth.army.mil A copy of the response shall be provided to Project Manager -- Mobile Electric Power, 10205 Burbeck Road, AMSEL-DSA-MEP (Attn: Bill Merrill), Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5863. Electronic responses may be sent to William_H_Merrill@belvoir.army.mil. 1. Company size, structure and facilities 2. Company experience with Government contracts 3. Company experience in generator sets, commercial or military 4. Company experience with application of CARC paint 5. Company experience with Mil-T-705 test methods 6. Specific product literature, to include make and model number, technical data, and other technical information regarding product to be offered (if not offering a product based on the government drawings) 7. Company experience with government logistics and provisioning processes 8. Company small business status and current NAICS codes (formerly SIC codes) Please note that this Sources Sought Survey is seeking those companies that will serve as a prime contractor/integrators, not component providers.
