- Description
- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY FOR PLANNING PURPOSES. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION DRAWING PACKAGE AVAILABLE. This is a request for information only as defined in FAR 15.201(e). The government does not presently intend to award a contract, but wants to obtain information on commercially available aircraft stores loader. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Air Warfare Battlelab (AWB), Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, is planning to conduct a study that will evaluate commercial options to solve the following problem: Currently, United States Air Force aircraft stores loaders are airframe specific. Some are actually made by the unit causing equipment damage and personal injury. A single stores loader will reduce mobility footprint, logistics tail and increase effectiveness of loading capabilities on fighter aircraft. The AWB is interested in Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products that could be used as-is or slightly modified to solve this problem. These attributes are desired requirements by the USAF: 1. A platform height range adjustable from 1? to 45? 2. A total unit length not to exceed 108? and a width not to exceed 44? 3. 750 lb load capacity on raised platform 4. 780 lb total unit weight 5. A simple elevation mechanism 6. Able to withstand the rigors of towing and using in an all weather flightline environment The AWB is seeking the following specific information from Industry representatives: 1. The manufacturers suggested retail price for the commercial product. 2. The name of distributors who could sell to the Government. 3. The degree to which the product can meet or exceed the above desirable and beneficial attributes of the USAF. 4. Your interest to demonstrate your product. Requested information must be submitted NO LATER THAN 22 Oct 04 to MSgt Joseph Pratt, Air Warfare Battlelab, 360 Gunfighter Ave, Suite 1, Mountain Home AFB, ID 83648. MSgt Pratt can be reached at (208) 828-3517. A formal solicitation MAY NOT BE ISSUED as a result of this RFI. Information provided may or may not be included in a formal solicitation. The USAF will not release any information -- marked with a Proprietary legend -- received in response to this RFI to any firms, agencies, or individuals outside the USAF without written permission in accordance with the legend.
