Removable Canopy Kit

Added: Apr 24, 2015 8:23 am Modified: Jun 04, 2015 3:42 pmTrack Changes DLA Land Aberdeen is soliciting for proposals for the procurement/fabrication of (Removable) self-contained Canopy Kits, NSN 4940-00-937-2553, CW-924/G, PPL #10482.

This removable canopy is used to cover/shroud a tactical assemblage that is housed inside a S-280 Shelter. The S-280 Shelter is approximately 12'X6'X7' and is normally transported on a 2 1/2 or 5 ton vehicle. The removable canopy provides a sun shield to the exterior roof/sides of the shelter when military units are deployed in locations of extreme high temperatures. It keeps the direct rays of the sun from contacting the aluminum skin surface of the shelter, thereby allowing the air conditioners to efficiently maintain the shelter interior temperature at an acceptable range for soldier operation/performance. The technical data package for this kit is specified/described via fully-detailed drawings. This kit is comprised of several (corner/side) aluminum bracket assemblies (which can either be welded together or these components may be casted instead), lanyard assemblies, rivnuts, screws, washers, sealant, and the 3-piece canopy which is cloth-laminated, vinyl-nylon high strength material. One side of each canopy is a quote mark GREEN 383 quote mark color, and the reverse side is quote mark TAN 686 quote mark color, to allow the canopy to match the camouflage color scheme of the deployed environment.

You are not required to install any rivnuts on shelters, the rivnut installation drawings contained in the technical data package are provided for the installer of the Canopy Kit, which will be soldiers in a General/Direct Support Shop or at a military depot. These rivnut installation drawings are quote mark not quote mark for the bidder/contractor to install.

This contract action is to be a 5 year, firm fixed price (FFP), Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The estimated annual demand for the item is 100 units/year. The proposed action is expected to be full and open competition. Multiple contracts may be awarded. Contract ceiling for any/all awards combined would be $1,600,000.

It is anticipated that the solicitation will be released on or about May 7, 2015 with proposals due approximately 30 days later.
