About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a lightweight 60-kilowatt generator designed for use in austere or expeditionary environments. The government seeks to determine if current market solutions exist or are in development for this specialized power generation equipment. Key requirements include a generator capable of delivering 120/208 VAC and 240/416 VAC power, multi-fuel compatibility with JP-8 as the primary fuel, operational temperature range from -25F to +122F, and portability sufficient to fit on half a 463L pallet. The Request for Information (RFI) invites contractors and institutions to submit detailed responses, including concept papers or presentations, by January 31, 2025. The agency emphasizes that participation in this market research survey does not guarantee future solicitation or contract awards, and respondents will not be reimbursed for participation expenses.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract opportunity, meaning both large and small businesses can potentially compete. While no specific award value or budget range is currently disclosed, the technical requirements suggest a sophisticated and specialized procurement targeting military expeditionary power generation capabilities. The NAICS code 336413 has been identified for this potential procurement, which relates to other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. The generator must meet specific technical specifications, including EPA standards, three-hour minimum run time with a day tank, auxiliary pump capabilities for remote fuel bladders, and air transport certification. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is conducting this market research to inform potential requirements development, with the possibility of broader adoption across Air Force operations if a suitable solution is identified.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Light Weight 60-Kilowatt Generator
The Government is conducting market research to identify sources for a lightweight 60kW Generator solution for use in bed down of Forces in austere locations. The Government seeks to determine if there is presently a solution in the market, if a solution is already being developed, and also the trade-offs to consider when specifying its requirements for a solution. The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined.
The Government does not own or have access to the data for a potential lightweight 60kW Generator solution that would enable power generation in austere or expeditionary environments. The Government has not determined if there is already a solution that is a commercial item. It is unknown if commercial item descriptions, commercial vendor catalogs, price lists, or commercial manuals assigned a technical manual number apply.
The purpose of this request for information is to identify if there are any products either existing, or in development to fulfill this capability. Responses in the form of papers or presentations detailing a concept or models are welcome in response to this request for information. Information is being gathered to inform Air Force Life Cycle Management Center of any potential solutions, and also the achievability of the objectives outlined in Attachment 1. There may be additional application for wider adoption by the Air Force if the concept is determined to be achievable.
Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey. Respondents to this survey will be considered for any future industry days and informed of any requirements development.
