- Description
- This request is an announcement for information/market research for planning purposes. The synopsis does not constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, invitation for bid nor does its issuance in any way restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center/PZIA is seeking potential sources to provide Weapons Storage Cabinets for High Density Carriage and Controls, as well as installation and warranty. Weapon Storage Cabinets- 1. Cabinets must utilize fully retractable doors and locking bars to provide clear aisles and speed the weapons issuing process. Door hinges should be full length. 2. Cabinets must meet all requirements for physical security of conventional arms, ammunition, and explosives (OPNAVINST 5530.13C) 3. Cabinets must include an NSN number. 4. The cabinets should utilize a rotating locking bar for security. Locking bars shall lock at a single common point and be able to accept a DoD issued padlock. Key locks are not acceptable. 5. Cabinets must be fully welded with heavy gauge steel. Cabinet walls must be a minimum of 18 ga steel. Top and bottom components are a minimum of 16 ga steel. This is critical for durability because of the heavy weight of the weapons to be stored. 6. Exterior doors and side walls must be perforated mesh to allow visible weapons count when doors are closed. 7. Cabinet shall allow for "a la carte" configurability to allow storage of a wide range of weapons types, gear, and optics without requiring structural modification to the cabinet. Racks should allow for future modification to store small arms and equipment. Interior components should have NSN numbers to ease future requirements. 8. All components that come in contact with the weapon must be either poly vinyl chloride dipped or made with an injection molded thermoplastic designed to withstand extreme temperatures and protect the weapon from abrasions. 9. Cabinets shall not include any exposed bolts, screws, or sharp edges. 10. For durability the cabinet must be powder coated. High Density Carriages and Controls 1. The carriage and rail components should be designed, engineered, and manufactured by the same company that produces the weapons storage cabinets. This is necessary to ensure proper compatibility of the system and allow for a single point of responsibility at the manufacturer level. 2. The system shall be electrically operated and include at a minimum full length photo-electric safety sweeps along both sides of each movable carriages and cross aisle entry sensors. Safety sweeps must be light immune. For safety the system must have an entire system UL listing (not individual components). 3. The rail system shall not utilize butt-joints to connect sections. Tongue and groove or overlapped joints are required. Rails shall utilize leveling screws (no shims) to provide a means for perfectly leveling the system. This is required because the rails will be depressed into the concrete slab of the facility. 4. The rail and guidance system must include a means of locking the carriages to the rail to prevent carriages from separating from the rail and to increase security. 5. Carriages shall be of welded or bolted construction and include a recess so that the weapons storage cabinets positively interlock into the carriage and provide structural lateral support. Top mount carriages are unacceptable. 6. Stationary platforms shall be of the same type and construction as movable carriages. 7. System controls must allow for a minimum of 500 unique PIN codes to be assigned. The system shall track which PIN codes are used to access which part of the system, which will provide an audit trail of system access. The audit trail and PIN codes must be retained in the event of a power outage. 8. Because weight will be distributed unequally across the moving carriages the system must transmit power evenly across the carriage. Power should be transmitted, at a minimum, at all four corners of the carriage. Carriages that are only powered down the left or right side of the carriage are unacceptable. This is a critical feature to the longevity of the system, and its operation during critical weapon issuing sequences. 9. The carriages must have the ability to begin movement in either block or sequential movement without changing components. 10. The distance between carriages when closed must be user programmable to allow more or less space to be between carriages when the system is closed. 11. To prevent damage to the weapons the carriages must soft start and soft stop. They must also not touch at any point during movement or when closed. 12. The system must include an uninterruptable power supply battery backup system so that the system will operate at full speed and with full safeties even in the event of a power outage. This is critical to maintain access to the weapons even in the event of power loss. The battery backup system must not require a separate battery pack to plug into the system for operation. 13. Provide full height laminate end panels for all faced ends. Additional requirements: 1. The system must be installed by factory trained and certified installation technicians. 2. Because significant downtime is unacceptable the vendor should demonstrate that they have the ability to provide service within 8 business hours of being contacted by a factory trained technicians. Vendor must maintain a stock of service parts required. 3. The warranty requirement is as follows: a. Lifetime warranty on all non-moving structural carriage components b. 10 year warranty on electric motors c. 5 year warranty on all other components Firms responding to this announcement shall include Statement of Capabilities (SOC), limited to 5 pages; and if services can be provided under an existing Federal Supply Schedule. Firms shall also be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and should include company name, DUNS number, cage code, point of contact, address and business size using NAICS Code 332311, 500 Employees.
