Request for Information (RFI)

Title:

Standard Automotive Tool Set (SATS) M1221

Description:

This document describes the SATS M1221. The SATS M1221provides a common tool set to perform two-level weapon system maintenance services on base or in the field and is used by Ordnance maintainers to perform scheduled and unscheduled automotive maintenance tasks in tactical and non-tactical environments supporting all weapon systems. The SATS M1221 is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8' x 8' x 20' container with an Improved Environmental Control Unit (IECU) and Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) generator mounted on a trailer filled with tool chests and maintenance equipment.

Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is issuing this RFI on behalf of the requiring activity, Product Manager (PdM) Engineer, Maintenance and Support Equipment (EMSE), as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to provide a complete and fully integrated SATS M1221 system.

Respondents should demonstrate the capability to provide the trailer, cabinets, and the complete tool load as specified in Attachment 0001. The scope of this requirement also includes integration of Government Furnished Property (GFP), such as the ISO container, IECU, and AMMPS generator. Please note that the Government-owned Technical Data Package (TDP) is not provided with this RFI. Integration responsibilities would include installing all necessary duct work, mounting all system components, and constructing an interior wall to isolate the generator from the rest of the container.

Please provide the following information that the agency will consider:

1) A statement of your interest as a prime contractor;

2) Organization name, address, email address, Web site address, telephone number, and size and type of ownership for the organization;

General Information:

The U.S. Government appreciates the time and effort taken to respond to this survey. The U.S. Government acknowledges its obligations under 18 U.S.C. §1905 to protect information qualifying as “confidential” under this statute. [To avoid possible confusion with the meaning of the term “confidential” in the context of Classified Information,” we will use the term “PROPRIETARY.”] Pursuant to this statute, the U.S. Government is willing to accept any trade secret or PROPRIETARY restrictions placed on qualifying data forwarded in response to the survey questions and to protect it from unauthorized disclosure subject to the following:

1. Clearly and conspicuously mark qualifying data with the restrictive legend (all caps) “PROPRIETARY” with any explanatory text, so that the U.S. Government is clearly notified of what data needs to be appropriately protected.

2. In marking such data, please take care to mark only those portions of the data or materials that are truly confidential (over breadth in marking inappropriate data as “PROPRIETARY” may diminish or eliminate the usefulness of your response - see item 6 below). Use circling, underscoring, highlighting or any other appropriate means to indicate those portions of a single page which are to be protected.

3. The U.S. Government is not obligated to protect unmarked data. Additionally, marked data that is already in the public domain or in the possession of the U.S. Government or third parties, or is afterward placed into the public domain by the owner or another party through no fault of the U.S. Government will not be protected once in the public domain. Data already in the possession of the U.S. Government will be protected in accordance with the U.S. Government's rights in the data.

4. Confidential data transmitted electronically, whether by physical media or not, whether by the respondent or by the U.S. Government, shall contain the “PROPRIETARY” legend, with any explanatory text, on both the cover of the transmittal e-mail and at the beginning of the file itself. Where appropriate for only portions of an electronic file, use the restrictive legends ‘PROPRIETARY PORTION BEGINS:” and “PROPRIETARY PORTION ENDS.”

5. In any reproductions of technical data or any portions thereof subject to asserted restrictions, the U.S. Government shall also reproduce the asserted restriction legend and any explanatory text.

6. The U.S. Government sometimes uses support contractors in evaluating responses. Consequently, responses that contain confidential information may receive only limited or no consideration since the Respondent’s marking of data as “PROPRIETARY” will preclude disclosure of same outside the U.S. Government and therefore will preclude disclosure to these support contractors assisting the evaluation effort. The U.S. Government will use its best efforts to evaluate those responses that contain confidential information without using support contractors consistent with the resources available.

Disclaimer:

This Request for Information is for informational purposes only. This is not a request for proposal, does not constitute a solicitation, and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose. Responses in any form are not considered offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. Funds are NOT available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. Any information submitted by respondents to this technical description is strictly voluntary. Respondents WILL NOT be notified regarding information obtained related to this Sources Sought Notice. It is the respondent's responsibility to monitor the applicable sites for the release of any synopsis or solicitation.

Note: Any future request for information or request for proposal may be solicited in accordance with FAR Part 12 or a Commercial Solutions Opening.
