EAFB-001 TITLE: 96th Civil Engineering Group (CEG) Smart Lockers System

TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Smart Lockers

ACQUISITION PROGRAM: 96 Civil Engineering Group (CEG) Smart Lockers System

OBJECTIVE: The 96th Civil Engineering Group needs a system that allows airmen on Eglin Air

Force Base to pick up their package at any time of day from a secure locker system that can accept packages from any retailer or carrier. The overarching goal is to increase the quality of life for airmen living in the dorms.

96 Civil Engineering Group/CEIHD is pursuing a solution that the submittal firm substantiates a present ability to:

1) Support up to 730 Airman with an average of 25 package deliveries daily

2) Allow for optimum variety of locker sizes: small, medium, large, extra large

3) Keep individual’s parcels separated based on recipient name

4) Allow 24/7 access to lockers

5) Be outdoor weather resistant to withstand up to hurricane level elements

6) Provide lighting for nighttime visibility

7) Install and utilize a cellular data/wireless connection to function as a standalone system

8) Implement touchscreen input system to accept mail from any retailer or carrier

9) Notify residents via email/text to pick up package

10) Add/remove residents from system

11) Track locker usage and activity

12) Provide training, maintenance services, and phone support for a minimum 1 year

13) Provide copy of any standard commercial warranty offered with the system

14) Provide replacement and spare parts for minimum 1 year

15) Conform to rectangular shape under Bldg. 854/855 covered pavilion where 1 complete system will be installed outdoors and exposed to the elements (Figure 1). It will be installed between the two buildings of 854 and 855.

16) Accept electrical power from designated site

The existing system requires carriers such as FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. to go to 10 three-floor dormitories throughout the campus to deliver the package to the front door of the resident. The carrier scans the package and leaves the package at the resident’s door with no notice that the package was delivered. The existing process presents concern with the potential for stolen/misplaced mail, especially during the holiday season where multiple boxes may be left outside for an extended period with the potential to being exposed to inclement weather which can damage the item. In the existing system, once delivery occurs, there is no accountability for the package.

KEYWORDS: Smart lockers, outdoor packaging hold system, mail system, Smart lockers for packages, Smart Storage, Contactless storage systems, mail storage solutions, retail lockers, parcel delivery smart lockers.
