A -- CONTACT MAINTENANCE ELECTRICAL POWER (CMEP) SOL DAAH10-98-Q-0001 DUE 111397 POC Hilda E. Fowler, Contract Specialist, (757) 878-2062 E-MAIL: AATD, hfowler@eustis-aatds1.army.mil. This requirement is 100% set-aside for small business concerns and is being solicited in accordance with the Simplified Acquisition Procedures as defined in FAR Part 13 and DFARS Part 13. The objective of the CMEP program is to provide electrical power for on-aircraft maintenance operations, specifically electrical system checks where ground power cannot be made available. Existing technology allows for multiple solutions to this problem. The successful offeror will be required to provide one of the following two solutions. The focus of the first solution is to develop a "kitable" 20kva or greater, 60/400hz, 115/230vac, 28vdc, 1/3 phase power unit conversion suitable for installation on the High Mobility Multi- Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) Heavy Variant (HHV). The focus of the second solution is to develop a 3- phase compact generator that will produce the above electrical power (excluding the 24vdc HMMWV system requirement) in a lightweight, man-portable package. Award of a purchase order for this program will be made to the offeror(s) whose proposal is determined to offer the best value to the Government, considering technical, price, and other factors. The Government reserves the right to award only one purchase order, to make multiple awards, or to not make an award as a result of this solicitation. This decision will be dependent upon (1) multiple acceptable approaches satisfying the goals of the Statement of Work, and (2) sufficiency of funds. The Government also reserves the right not to award multiple purchase orders which utilize the same technical solution. It is anticipated that fixed price purchase order(s) with a period of performance of twelve (12) months will be awarded no later than 31 December 1997. Funding for this requirement is included in the financial plan for FY 98. However, funds are not presently available for this acquisition. No award will be made until appropriated funds are made available from which payment for contract purposes can be made. It is estimated that approximately 1,850 manhours plus an attendant amount of material cost will be required to conduct the program. Requests for this solicitation must be submitted in writing to the above address and must include business size. (Facsimile (757) 878-0008 or e-mail (hfowler@eustis-aatds1.army.mil) requests are authorized. Requests for this solicitation must include business size. (See Note 1) (0274)
