ESBD_549439_1786758175963_TSC RFI 358-26-002 Appendix E Forecast 5YR-10YR Demand.pdf

This is an appendix document from a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Texas Space Commission (RFI #358-26-002) regarding Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility (EMI/EMC) electronic testing capabilities. The document serves as a demand forecasting template for the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Office and is structured to capture future service requirements across multiple planning horizons. The appendix provides a framework for identifying demand across three timeframes: 0-2 years, 3-5 years, and 6-10 years, with instructions to classify demand as committed, forecast, or speculative. The template requires detailed categorization including user sectors, mission types, hardware classes, campaign types, frequency of use, test hours, and peak capacity envelope specifications.

The document emphasizes protection of sensitive customer and program information and requires users to segregate entries by materially different hardware classes or campaign types. Section E.2 specifically addresses unmet demand and gaps, requiring documentation of current workarounds, cost and schedule consequences, and supporting evidence for each identified need. This forecasting document does not contain specific pricing terms, contract duration details, set-asides, or funding amounts, as it functions as a planning and needs assessment tool rather than a procurement award document. The RFI relates to the broader state and local contract opportunity for Vibroacoustic, Vibration, and Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility Mobile Test Capabilities in Texas.
