Description

The Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), General & Industrial Directorate will issue a solicitation to procure the Space Heater Small (SHS), NSN 4520-01-478-9207, which is a 13KBTU heater that is designed to provide heat for the Soldier Crew Tent (5 man tent) and other tentage with floor area between 80 and 100 square feet. The SHS will satisfy a heating requirement for small military tentage in which there is currently no existing heater that can meet this requirement. The SHS operates without the use of electrical power and can burn all types of liquid fuel (DF-2, DF-1, DF-A, JP-5, JP-8). It utilizes the new vaporizing S-tube burner technology which overcomes the major combustion and safety problems that have existed over the past 50 years in the nonpowered heater industry. These problems include poor smokey combustion of diesel fuel and the hazardous exposure of a pool of raw fuel during operation. The new vaporizing S-tube burner technology eliminates these deficiencies while still maintaining simplicity, ruggedness, and low cost. Integral fuel tank design eliminates the need for hoses, gravity feed adapter, fuel can and fuel can stand The contract performance period will be for a 2 year base period with 3 one (1) year options. This solicitation contains a 100% option to extend the term of the contract for three (3) additional years. The total yearly estimated quantity is 1,000 each. Drawings are not required. The item is not on the Qualified Products List. This is an unrestricted solicitation. The solicitation is for Direct Vendor Delivery (DVD) Long Term Contract.
