WAREHOUSE VERTICAL STORAGE SYSTEM

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO)

BACKGROUND:

The Marine Expeditionary Rifle Squad (MERS) is the steward of the Marine rifle squad’s suite of equipment and works with all the program managers at Marine Corps Systems Command to optimize and integrate the rifle squad’s equipment.

The program founded the Gruntworks Squad Integration Facility located on Camp Barrett at The Basic School, MCB Quantico, VA. The Gruntworks facility provides a venue to engineer, evaluate, and refine the capabilities and limitations of all equipment in development and under consideration for procurement and issue to the infantry squad.

This dynamic facility uses a human factors lab, an equipment prototyping and modification workshop, a mobility platform integration area, and an Operational Environment Simulator focused on equipment evaluation to accomplish equipment modernization and integration initiatives. Human Systems Integration and ergonomics are applied to the physical integration of the infantry squad’s equipment.

SCOPE:

Vendor(s) shall provide a vertical storage solution that will aid in warehouse inventory management of tactical and experimental equipment. Solutions shall be inclusive of equipment, assembly, and installation of a vertical storage system(s).

OBJECTIVES:

1. Logistics

Install vertical storage system(s) along the internal western and southern walls of the GruntWorks Squad Integration facility located at Building 24017, Gilbert Road, Quantico, VA 22134 without obstructing any doorways and avoiding “dead space” in the corner between the two walls as much as practical.

2. Design

The vertical storage solution desired shall maximize storage capacity.

The system must be capable of lifting a minimum of 1000 lb. loads on a single lift. The system should allow for loading of multiple containers/items simultaneously. The system shall store hardened containers of various sizes as well as soft goods.

System(s) shall include a security feature which allows the ability to restrict accessibility of specified storage locations and or items to unauthorized individuals.

System(s) shall include automated inventory system allowing ease of tracking and retrieval as well as keeping a tally of items on hand. The inventory system shall automatically update counts of items on hand as they are added and subtracted from the storage area. The inventory system shall be capable of finding and retrieving items by either the item name or item location. The inventory system shall also be capable of producing reports of total items on hand.

System(s) shall be compatible with facility’s planned electrical infrastructure.

System(s) shall include internal environmental conditioning to mitigate the effects of humidity in confined spaces.

Vendor shall provide initial commercial training of systems and provide system handbook.

3. Quality Control

System(s) shall include an extended warranty effective at the expiration of manufacture’s original commercial warranty. This warranty shall cover all parts and labor required to restore the system to an operational condition.

4. Installation Instructions

The vendor shall document and deliver to the Marine Corps a clear, concise, and executable set of installation instructions which describe how to install the vertical storage system(s) being quoted. These instructions shall separately describe: (1) how to assemble and attach the storage system subcomponents with respect to each other; (2) the means of attachment (if any) of the storage structures to the building; (3) the electrical connections, electrical power controls, and/or power supply needed (if any) for operation of the vertical storage systems; and (4) any other information (if any) needed to successfully install the storage systems into the Gruntworks facility. The vendor shall warrant the correctness and completeness of the instructions.

5. Electrical Power Limitations

If electrical power is needed, the equipment quoted should be able to be operated by connection to the existing electrical power service available at the Gruntworks building, with or without separate or additional power controls, junction, or breaker boxes or similar apparatus which does not require expanding the existing electrical power service available at the Gruntworks facility.
