(vi) INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1. DESCRIPTION: Identify commercial capability, capacity and equipment availability across the Hawaiian Islands to provide scalable, turn-key portable power generation, fuel management and maintenance support. The system will support a contingency troop staging platform initiating at 2,000 Personnel (PAX) and capable of rapid surge up to 6,500 PAX across US Army installations in Hawaii prior to forward deployment into the Pacific theater.

2. ANTICIPATED PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: The anticipated place of performance for the effort is currently at Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii. However, the contractor must maintain the operational and logistical capability to rapidly mobilize, distribute and sustain power generation assets across additional US Army installations throughout the State of Hawaii.

3. ACQUISITION COURSES OF ACTION (COA) UNDER EVALUATION: To establish the feasibility and cost benefit tradeoffs of commercial solutions, offerors/responders are requested to address capabilities across four primary COAs:

b. Section 2: Technical Capability (Note: Responses shall address capabilities and technical approaches relative to 1. Description and 2. Anticipated Place of Performance.

Focus Area Specific Information Requested from Offerors

1. Fleet Availability and Sourcing

• Specific quantities, sizes (kW/MW) and voltages of prime power generators currently stocked on Oahu and Hawaii Island.

• Based on your proposed system design for the 2,000 PAX and 6,500 PAX profiles, state the total lead time to mobilize, deliver and commission the complete power package.

• If on-island inventory is insufficient, describe your capability and lead times to ship, deliver and commission generator assets from the U.S.

Mainland or other locations to Schofield Barracks, HI.

2. Buy/Store vs.

Lease Assessment

• Technical assessment of the tradeoffs between Leasing versus Direct Capital Purchase and Storage in Hawaii, specifically addressing tropical humidity, salt corrosion, depot exercising requirements and life-cycle degradation.

3. Island Logistics and Base Access

• Logistical plan for rapid dispatch across Oahu military installations.

• Established inter-island maritime shipping arrangements or airlift logistics for heavy generator transport.

• Detail any unique challenges or logistical considerations for delivering and operating equipment at the high-altitude, rugged terrain of Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) versus the Schofield Barracks area.

4. Maintenance and Servicing SLAs

• Preventative maintenance schedules (e.g., 250-hour oil/filter service) during 24/7 continuous operations.

• Provide separate guaranteed on-site emergency technician response times (SLAs) for: (a) Oahu Installations and (b) Pohakuloa Training Area, Hawaii Island.

• Availability of spare parts inventory maintained locally on-island (e.g., Automatic Voltage Regulators, alternators, controllers, sensors).

5. Fuel Management and Fuel Compatibility

• Estimated fuel burn rates (Gallons Per Hour) per generator size under 50%, 75% and 100% prime power load.

• Capability to provide auxiliary double-walled fuel tanks (500–2,000 gal FuelCubes) and 24/7 wet-hose fueling services.

• Confirmation that portable generator engines operate on military F-24 / JP-8 jet fuel without warranty invalidation or premature component failure.

6. Staffing & MOS Interface

• Recommendations regarding contractor operated staffing models vs hybrid models supporting US Army MOS 12P (Prime Power Specialist) and 91D (Tactical Power Generation Specialist).

c. Section 3: Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) of Cost and Pricing Data (Max 3

Pages). To support the Government’s market research, life-cycle cost analysis and evaluation across the four Courses of Action (COAs), offerors are requested to provide non-binding Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing estimates. Pricing shall be based on the offeror's recommended total generation capacity (kW/MW), generator fleet mix and distribution design required to support the baseline 2,000 PAX and surge 6,500 PAX staging profiles outlined in the description.
