Description of Requirement (DOR)

Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Fire Suppression Equipment

1. Requirement:

The contractor shall deliver six (6) 400-gallon compressed air foam (CAFS) firefighting systems to be integrated as components of complete Antarctic ARFF vehicles. The contractor shall also provide installation of suppression system skids, one (1) nitrogen gas generator, initial quantities of dispersant agents, onsite training, and shipping of completed systems.

2. Supply:

The contractor shall deliver six (6) 400-gallon CAFS firefighting agent dispersal systems with the following specifications and required capabilities:

2.a. Dispersant Agent

- Primary agent to be dispersed shall be Chemguard Blizzard Foam.

- Secondary agent shall be Purple K Powder (PKP) with -60F rating.

- No water to be stored in or dispersed by suppression equipment.

2.b. Disbursement Means

- Primary suppression agents shall be dispersed via compressed gas (e.g., a CAFS arrangement).

- Nitrogen gas (N2) shall be the primary propellant. Compressed oxygen may be utilized as a backup source.

- Regulator(s) shall be present to allow gas pressure feeding hoses to be adjusted from 0 to minimum 400 psi.

- All tanks and compressed gas bottles shall be American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) certified.

- No pumps shall be included in any part of the firefighting system.

- All agent tankage, distribution hardware, and all hand lines shall be mountable inside a truck body (which will be mounted on each prime mover) in such a way as to be easily removed for maintenance or swap-out (e.g., skid mounted).

- Hand line hose reels shall be integral to skid base supporting tankage and other dispersal equipment.

- Minimum of two (2) hand lines, one (1) each exiting opposite sides of the truck body.

- Either hand line shall be capable of discharging the entire foam tankage carried on the vehicle.

- Hand lines shall be a minimum of 100 feet in length with a minimum one-inch hose size.

- At least one (1) hand line shall be equipped with a single dual-agent dispersal nozzle (foam plus PKP with separate control handles for each product) fed by two linked hose lines.

- Deliver one (1) turret for mounting below the windshield on the front of the prime mover with dispersal and aiming controls to be mounted in the prime mover cab and operable by either vehicle driver or front-seat passenger.

- Turret shall be fed from tankage and distribution hardware housed in truck body via detachable, dedicated hose line (CAFS only, no PKP).

- Turret shall have 180-degree lateral horizontal sweep and 30-degree minimum aiming ability upward from horizontal.

2.c. Environmental Capabilities

- Suppression systems shall have full operability at temperatures down to -30F with limited input from the heater in the truck body.

- No damage or loss of operability during storage at temperatures down to -60F with no external heat source.

- No hydraulic or fuel-powered components. 12VDC power is acceptable.

2.d. Integration Meetings

- The contractor shall attend biweekly coordination meetings with a to-be-determined (TBD) truck body manufacturer. The anticipated start date of these calls is 1 February 2027 through 1 September 2028. The goal of the meetings is to ensure seamless design integration of the suppression equipment to the manufactured truck body.

2.e. System Training and Test Firing Capability

- The contractor shall perform system operability testing (whole system and individual components) without agent discharge at the TBD truck body manufacturer's facility upon completion of vehicle integration. Location will be within the Continental United States

(CONUS).

- System training for Government personnel shall be provided at the TBD truck body manufacturer's facility upon completion of vehicle integration. Location will be CONUS.

2.f. Additional Requirements and Specifications:

- Suppression systems shall include gauges for all consumable components (e.g., compressed gas, dry and chemical agents) and regulators for adjusting pressure in hose lines.

- Gauges shall be mounted on panels associated with each modular firefighting package and shall be located such that they are easily read by personnel on the ground and adjacent to the ARFF vehicle.

- Suppression systems shall have a modular design for plug-and-play maintainability (parts, components, entire system).

- Spare parts package shall be provided to include the most likely to fail and long lead-time replacement components.

- Non-standard tools required for maintenance and repair (three sets) shall be provided.

- Maintenance and servicing related components and systems shall be easily accessible.

- Straightforward full-drain capability (for cold storage), defined as 99% removal of agent without removal of equipment, is required.

- Maximum weight of each of the six (6) fully charged suppression systems to be 10,000 pounds.

- Straightforward recharge (compressed gas tanks) and refill (foam and dry chemical tanks) capabilities with minimal out-of-service time, defined as ability to recharge without removal of equipment, is required.

- Manuals for maintenance, parts, and operations (six complete sets).

3. Nitrogen Gas Generator:

The contractor shall deliver one (1) nitrogen gas (N2) generator capable of recharging 2250 psi gas cylinders, integral gas dryer, and a minimum 50 cubic feet per hour charging rate.

Generator shall be a separate unit from the fire suppression units.

4. Initial Quantities of Dispersant Agents

The contractor shall provide 400 gallons (actual) CAFS plus 500 pounds PKP dispersant per ARFF vehicle. CRREL is limited by the US Air Force to an equivalency of one (1) gallon of CAFS equal to the fire-distinguishing capability of five (5) gallons of water; thus, each vehicle shall carry a minimum equivalent firefighting agent of 2000 gallons.

5. Product Support

- The contractor shall provide a 12-month manufacturer's warranty on all provided systems beginning upon delivery of the completed ARFF vehicles to McMurdo, Antarctica (estimated to be 1 September 2028). Warranty shall also include phone number, email, and name of point of contact for both routine and urgent communications with maximum response times of 48 hours (routine) and 18 hours (urgent).

- The contractor shall provide training to Government personnel on usage and maintenance of suppression systems. Training will take place at a TBD CONUS integration contractor facility. The contractor is responsible for travel costs associated with this training requirement.

6. Travel:

- Contractor travel is required for training to be performed at a TBD CONUS integration contractor facility. No other travel is required during the production and delivery phases of this contract. However, travel may be required to support warranty claims, including locations within the CONUS and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS).

- For warranty claims to be performed at McMurdo Station, the contractor shall arrange and fund all travel from its facility to Christchurch, New Zealand. The NSF will coordinate and fund transportation, lodging, and meals to and from Christchurch and McMurdo Station.

- All travel shall comply with applicable federal, DoD, and NSF regulations and safety requirements governing travel to Antarctica.

7. Production Dates:

Offerors shall indicate estimated production completion dates in quotes. Production dates will not be used to evaluate quotes.

8. Delivery Location(s):

The contractor shall deliver the prime movers with installed suppression systems to a TBD CONUS integration contractor's location where the equipment will be integrated into the complete ARFF vehicle package. For quote pricing purposes, the Government has estimated a not-to-exceed (NTE) price of $60,000 for shipping and handling.

9. Past Experience:

Offerors shall submit a brief narrative detailing at least three (3) past projects completed within the last ten (10) years that demonstrate experience in manufacturing suppression systems similar to this requirement. For each system, the narrative must include:

The year of manufacture and the primary purpose/application of the system.

The technical scope or specification of the suppression systems produced.

The designed operational temperature range of the equipment, explicitly stating whether it meets a standard of -30F or colder, or a different temperature standard.

(2) Is considered small for the size standard under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract.

(c) Applicability. This clause applies only to-

(1) Contracts that have been set aside for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3);

(2) Part or parts of a multiple-award contract that have been set aside for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3);
