10/27/21, 11:52 PM ALTERNATIVE CARD ACCEPTING DEVICE (CAD) FOR VENDING MACHING ON NAVY SHIPS
Added: Dec 22, 2011 1:53 pm
NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia Office is issuing a request for information (RFI) seeking sources to provide an alternative Card Accepting Device (CAD) for vending machines used aboard Navy ships. This announcement is issued for informational and planning purposes only. THIS RFI IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTES PROPOSALS AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A SOLICITATION OR ULTIMATELY TO AWARD A CONTRACT ON THE BASIS OF THIS RFI OR OTHERWISE PAY FOR THE INFORMATION SOLICITED. Responses to the RFI will not serve as proposals, bids, or offers, which could be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.
Cashless vending machines (soda/snack/stamp) are currently deployed aboard U.S.
Navy ships and accept a specific bank card containing an Integrated Circuit Chip (ICC) with a stored value e-purse. The Navy is requesting information to determine if alternative CAD devices are available with barcode scanners. The desired cards to be used in the future will contain a linear and 2D barcode. Navy personnel will already have these cards.
The barcode-reading CAD should essentially be an off-the-shelf, commercially available unit that with minimal modifications can be easily swapped for the present ICC-reading CAD. Navy would not be seeking a lengthy development or modification process that would be required to make a barcode-reading CAD compatible with our ships’ vending architecture.
The barcode-reading CAD must be a modular unit that the Navy AIT contractor will install into existing vending machines to replace the current ICC-reading CAD. The new CAD must be compatible with the current physical characteristics regarding size, shape, and power/data connections. Please refer to the attached CAD specification, which describes the present requirements.
The purpose of the card read will be only to obtain the identity of the card holder and to associate it with the purchase value of the vending selection. The identity information read by the CAD, and the purchase value, will be provided in electronic format. The identity and purchase data will be passed electronically via the ship’s network.
As long as the CAD is online each purchase will be passed to the server at the time of sale. If the CAD is not online, the identification and purchase information will be stored in the CAD and passed to the server when the CAD does come back online.
THIS RFI PERTAINS ONLY TO THE CAD HARDWARE; CARDS ARE NOT A PART OF THIS RFI. RFI respondents should assume that they will collect the purchase and identification data that the CAD acquires and be capable of passing those data in a format to be determined by the Navy. Navy expects that their own developer will be responsible for accepting the purchase and identification data and handling it from there.
All responding sources shall provide a summary of company capabilities including organization name, address, point of contract (including phone number and e-mail address), business size, DUNS number, CAGE Code, and past experience.
Responses should also provide a list of how many devices are installed, type of warranty/support is provided, specific types of vending supported (i.e. snacks, drinks, frozen, etc.), and price examples based on the units installed. The NAICs code for this acquisition is 454210 and the size standard is $10M.All submissions are required to be submitted via e-mail to joseph.caltagirone@navy.mil no later than 3pm (Eastern Standard Time) on 06 January 2012. Please direct any questions concerning this sources sought synopsis to Joseph Caltagirone at 215-697-9687, or joseph.caltagirone@navy.mil.
