Draft Drawing of Concrete Block 25x25x17 Feet Draft Drawing of Concrete Block 40x40x7 Feet THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. The Government is seeking information from all sources regarding a potential contract to procure a Gantry Crane capable of moving concrete target blocks with a minimum weight of 1.7M pounds (850 short tons) and minimum varying dimensions of 25'x25'x17' to 40'x40'x 7' at the 96th Test Group, 846 Test Squadron, located at Holloman AFB, NM. Respondents will not be notified of the responses to this RFI. As stipulated in FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. In accordance with FAR 52.215-3, this notice is protected pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act and other laws and regulations. Information identified by a respondent as "Proprietary" or "Confidential" will not be disclosed outside of Government channels. While a final decision has not been determined, the North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code is preliminarily set as 333923, Overhead Traveling Crane, Hoist, and Monorail System Manufacturing. A set-aside determination has not been made, but is being considered. The Product and Services Code (PSC) is 3950, Winches, Hoists, Cranes, and Derricks. SECTION 1 - BACKGROUND The 96th Test Group at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, is a unit of the 96th Test Wing, Eglin AFB FL. As part of the 96 TG, the Holloman High Speed Test Track (HHSTT) conducts impact tests to evaluate performance, survivability and lethality of weapon systems. Large concrete targets are manufactured near the impact area of the track and moved into place using a gantry crane. The current gantry crane used to move targets into position is limited to 160 tons constraining the maximum target size to 22'x22'x4'. Providing larger, monolithic targets would enable more realistic target configurations. A gantry crane capable of moving a minimum weight of 1.8M pounds (900 short tons) would provide the opportunity to test against 25'x25'x17' or 40'x40'x 7' target blocks. SECTION 2 - PURPOSE OF RFI: This notice is issued for the purpose of collecting industry comments regarding the 846th Test Squadron's requirements.
