The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Europe and Africa is conducting market research to determine the availability of domestically manufactured (U.S.-made) 220-Volt / 50-Hertz power tools to support operations in Europe. The purpose of this market research is to identify if there are U.S. domestic manufacturers capable of providing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) power tools that natively operate on the European power grid without the use of external voltage transformers.

With the requirement in mind, please answer the following questions as part of your response:

• Question 1: Do your offered power tools natively support operating input of 220V–240V alternating current (AC) at a frequency of 50Hz? Please provide the technical specification sheets or manufacturer cut-sheets confirming this rating.

• Question 2: Do your offered tools require external voltage transformers, frequency converters, or step-down adapters to operate on a standard European 220V/50Hz power grid?

• Question 3: Are the offered 220V/50Hz power tools manufactured, produced, or assembled in the United States?

Please submit the following information in your response:

1.  Answers to the above questions

2.  Company information, to include:

1. Your company name, address,
2. The company's web page (if applicable);
3. CAGE Code and DUNS number,

Responses shall be provided in .pdf format and are limited to 10 pages, single-spaced, 8.5 inch x 11 inch or 8.5 inch x 14 inch paper size, and the font shall be Times New Roman with a minimum size of 12 point.  The Government will not review any pages beyond the 10–page limit.  If your submittal contains company proprietary information then it should be marked accordingly.
