The Government will evaluate the solutions with the intent to competitively award one or multiple Other Transaction Agreements for prototype projects through the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) Consortium. Summary and Background The United States Navy (USN), the United States Marine Corps (USMC), and the United States Department of Defense (DoD) seek better capability to efficiently and optimally distribute fuel, dry cargo, and munitions within theater. Specifically, the Navy has identified known gaps in capability to deliver these supplies within contested environments. Additionally, with a growing energy demand and new Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO), Joint Commanders and their staffs require more options to replenish ships, vehicles, equipment, and systems at the right time and location. The Operational Logistics (OPLOG) Integration R&D Program from the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Division (NSWC-CD) is developing concepts, prototypes, and technology transition projects for at-sea, littoral, and over-the-shore (OTS) distributed logistics and fueling. The NOLDS prototype project is unclassified. The NOLDS prototype project, led by the OPLOG Program will generate solutions, conduct developmental testing (DT) and operational testing (OT), develop and demonstrate prototypes, and transition operational logistics solutions in support of DMO. Some of these new distributed logistics solutions may include fuel and solid cargo storage and distribution systems that enable more agile and robust logistics operations at-sea, in the littorals, and OTS in contested environments. The intent of the NOLDS prototype project is to generate solutions, conduct developmental testing and operational testing, develop and demonstrate prototypes and transition operational logistics capabilities in support of DMO. The program is seeking solutions to develop and prototype the following prototype projects. Bulk Fuel Over-the-Shore Storage and Delivery System � A bulk fuel over- the-shore storage and delivery system designed to be minimally manned with low visibility and able to operate in an austere environment. Modular CONSOL Adapter Kit � A modular refueling capability for US tankers and other fuel carrying commercial vessels to refuel the Navy�s Combat Logistics Force (CLF) while underway at sea. Improved Modular Fuel and Cargo Delivery Station � A modular refueling and cargo system applicable to commercial and Naval platforms to provide an underway replenishment capability to US Navy ships. Close-in Fuel Rig � A near-term close-in refueling station designed to integrate with commercial and Naval vessels to provide additional refueling capability options for Navy ships. Modified Fuel Rig for Astern and Over-the-Shore Refueling � A modified hose and reel rig attached to commercial ships that can deliver an astern refueling capability to Navy ships as well as provide fuel over-the-shore to Joint Forces. Open Ocean Bulk Fuel Cache � A system that enables a minimally manned fuel cache for more agile and robust refueling operations at sea. Littoral Bulk Fuel Cache � A near-shore fuel cache platform that provides the ability to refuel small craft at sea and deliver smaller volumes of fuel ashore. Rapidly Deployable Over-the-Shore Refueling System � A modular hose and reel system adaptive force package that can be rapidly deployed from the supply vessel offshore without deploying any small craft and could easily be retrieved and redeployed to support mission conditions. The NOLDS prototype project(s) will be multi-faceted to include one or more analyses of alternatives (AoA) and design activities, followed by small-scale test and evaluation (T&E) pilots to prove out the major technical and operational components of the prototypes. The ultimate outcome of each NOLDS prototype project is to develop, demonstrate, and assess prototypes that can perform in relevant operational environments that meet warfighter standards. Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of TReX or teamed with a TReX member. Information about membership can be found at the following webpage: https://nstxl.org/membership/.� **** Please visit the TReX RFS website for additional information, at: https://nstxl.org/opportunity/naval-operational-logistics-distribution-systems-nolds-prototype-project/****
