Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought

Market Research Questionnaire

The 502d Contracting Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) – Randolph, TX is seeking sources capable of providing and installing one (1) SHEETMASTER 100 Roll-Out Shelf Storage

System (manufactured by Rack Engineering Division) IAW the attached draft SOW. The

Government is contemplating a sole source award to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. to ensure consistency in structural integrity, prevent unpredictable facility damage, and avoid the duplication of costs and training associated with introducing a different contractor for this highly specialized footprint. This notice is for market research and planning purposes only and shall NOT be construed as a formal Request for Quote or an obligation on the part of the

Government to acquire any products or services, and does NOT constitute a commitment

(implied or otherwise) that a procurement action will be issued. (Funds are not currently available.)

The purpose of this request for information is to determine the capability/availability of potential sources pursuant to RFO Part 10, Market Research. The associated NAICS for this requirement is 332999, with a size standard of 750 employees. Responses to this notice are strictly voluntary.

The Government is not liable for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this request for information. Interested parties are encouraged to respond with information not constrained by proprietary data rights. However, if proprietary data is included in your reply, please mark it appropriately.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: Procurement and installation of one (1)

SHEETMASTER 100 Roll-Out Shelf Storage System (manufactured by Rack Engineering

Division). The requirement includes delivery, professional assembly, and structural anchoring of the heavy-duty rack system to the concrete floor slab.

The SHEETMASTER 100 Roll-Out Shelf Storage System is being requested based on the strict necessity for standardization and compatibility with existing equipment of the same make and model. While market research was conducted to evaluate other heavy-duty sheet metal storage solutions, alternative systems do not share the exact dimensions, weight capacities (5,500 lbs per shelf), and safety mechanisms (automatic locking systems) as the currently installed footprint. Procuring the exact same model ensures form, fit, and function compatibility with our current material handling workflows, safety protocols, and space constraints.

Furthermore, utilizing ADS Inc. for the installation is critical because the SOW mandates professional assembly and structural anchoring into the concrete floor. ADS Inc. is uniquely positioned to fulfill this requirement as they hold the existing blueprints and engineering data for the concrete anchoring. Utilizing the same vendor who successfully executed the previous installation ensures consistency in structural integrity, prevents

Mission ~ Wingman ~ Partners unpredictable facility damage, and avoids the duplication of costs and training associated with introducing a different contractor for this highly specialized footprint.

To enable the Government to confirm the technical equivalency of the proposed equipment, please provide sufficient information for the Government to evaluate, for example, brochures, cut-sheets, drawings, diagrams, descriptive literature, etc. Please ensure your response clearly indicates that the requirements can be met.
