Description
Naval Inventory Control Point - Mechanicsburg, is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) / Sources Sought for existing Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) ruggedized computer transportation cases. The Government does not intend to engage industry to make cases specific to this requirement. This information is being requested for the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Program Management Activity (PMA). CURRENT STATEArmed Forces technical personnel use Portable Electronic Maintenance Aids (PEMA) laptop computers used onboard ship and in operational theaters to access flight data information resident on aircraft, store technical manuals as well as maintenance and safety bulletins. As part of the Automated Maintenance Environment, a laptop was required that would perform in a hostile environment. It had to be ruggedized to withstand, rough treatment, shocks, vibration, be viewable in sunshine, sealed from environment (no fans to introduce dust and sand into the interior), etc.; in short, the unit needed to be operational and reliable regardless of climate or conditions. Currently fielded PEMAs are Panasonic CF-18 / 19 and CF-29 / 30. This RFI is to hold the PEMAs currently in inventory. PEMA systems are deployed with military units to theaters of operation; shipment of these units can be by ship or aircraft; aircraft may include C-17 and C-130. Currently, there is no standardized shipping container - units and commands transport systems in any case they have available. The requirements of this RFI detail a multipurpose case solution: one that enables the safe and manageable transportation of a five PEMA wireless system to a forward deployed operational site or ship. Once arriving, field personnel remove front and rear lids, make an electrical and network connection; the soulution should be operational at this point. To successfully deploy and protect PEMA systems, transportation cases are required that can withstand shipment and operation in the same environment required for the PEMA systems. NAVICP will utilize an on line communication and collaboration tool called Procuri to post this Request for Information, attachments and other pertinent information. All communications between the Contracting Officer and the vendor, as well as uploading of technical information will occur through this tool. Parties interested in this requirement shall contact Chris Seier, Chris.Seier@navy.mil, Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will initiate vendor registration in the system to allow access and participation; vendors will receive then receive an email with further information. Phone calls and emails will ONLY be accepted if related to registration and technical problems with the Procuri system.
