- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, Virginia seeks sources and information for a Vehicle Mounted Battery Charger (VMBC) that is approximately 50% smaller than its currently utilized PP-8481B/U Vehicle Mounted Charger. The notional future VMBC should provide the following capabilities at a minimum: sufficiently rugged to be mounted and operated in combat and tactical vehicles that operate over all terrains and environmental conditions; operate from vehicle 18-32 Volts DC electric power; ability to hold and charge multiple batteries simultaneously; ability to charge at a minimum the BB-2847A/U, BB-2800/U, BB-2600A/U, BB-2590/U, and AA NiMH batteries; ability to recharge batteries for the AN/PRC-148, AN/PRC-152, and AN/PRC-153 radios (radios not attached); software upgradeable for future battery chemistries; hardware upgradeable for future battery configurations (future batteries, or combinations of above listed batteries). The Governments seeks to ascertain degree to which the requirements can be met with current or planned products, the developmental or production ready status of products, and whether products are available via Federal Supply Schedules (GSA Advantage). This data will help the Government shape its acquisition strategy for this capability. This sources-sought / Request For Information (RFI) is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a Request For Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire follow-on acquisition. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI, or otherwise pay for the information requested. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of submission of responses to this RFI and Government use of such information. The Government recognizes that proprietary data may be part of this effort. If so included, clearly mark such restricted or proprietary data and present it as an addendum to the non-restricted/non-proprietary information. Responses to this RFI shall be electronically transmitted to Marine Corps Systems Command, attention: Matthew Brown, matthew.s.brown2@usmc.mil
