Description

The Government is conducting market research to identify sources for a Next Generation Containerized 500kW Generator solution for use in beddown of Forces in austere locations. The Government seeks to determine if there is presently a solution in the market, if a solution is already being developed, and also the trade-offs to consider when specifying its requirements for a solution. The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined. 

The Government does not own or have access to the data for a potential Containerized 500kW Generator solution that would enable power generation in austere or expeditionary environments. The Government has not determined if there is already a solution that is a commercial item. It is unknown if commercial item descriptions, commercial vendor catalogs, price lists, or commercial manuals assigned a technical manual number apply.

The purpose of this request for information is to identify if there are any products either existing, or in development to fulfill this capability. Responses in the form of papers or presentations detailing a concept or models are welcome in response to this request for information. Information is being gathered to inform Air Force Life Cycle Management Center of any potential solutions, and also the achievability of the objectives outlined in Attachment 1. There may be additional application for wider adoption by the Air Force if the concept is determined to be achievable.

Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards.  The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey. Respondents to this survey will be considered for any future industry days and informed of any requirements development.
