Tactical Energy Efficient Shelters

Added: Aug 31, 2012 2:09 pm The Army Contracting Command - New Jersey on behalf of US Army Logistics Innovation Agency (US ALIA) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the procurement of one-story and two-story energy efficient shelters for the Kuwait Energy Efficiency Project (KEEP) at Camp Buehring, Kuwait. The requirement includes approximately 5 one-story shelters and 260 two-story shelters. The Government intends to fulfill this requirement as a 100% small business set-aside via a two year Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity single award contract under Solicitation W15QKN-12-R-0070. This acquisition will be conducted by competitive negotiation pursuant to FAR Part 15 utilizing best value procedures.

This effort is to combine existing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies into an integrated solution for shelter efficiency and supplemental power generation. The project is for the replacement of soft walled shelters with highly insulated rigid walled shelters that are soldier erectable, re-deployable, equipped with energy efficient ECUs, and LED lighting combined with other improvements.

This requirement is expected to produce many benefits, including but not limited to:
Improved efficiency
Substantial reductions in fuel/energy consumption
Reduction in fuel transportation frequency
Reduction of operation and maintenance costs
Reduction of Capital Investment for Lease/Purchase of replacement generators
Integration of renewable power sources
Increased operational flexibility
Improved quality of life using quieter, less permeable structures
Improved environmental sustainability
An opportunity for the Army to collect before and after load profile data to help inform future planning and decision making.

No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement.
