Defense Logistics Agency intends to obtain Environmental Control Unit (ECU) used in the Rigid Wall Shelter (RWS). The ECU is a self-contained, electrically powered unit that provides 18,500 BTU/Hr for cooling or 11,950 BTU/Hr for heating, at 550 CFM. It utilizes 230 VAC, single phase 50/60 Hz and draws 4.2 kW. The refrigerant used is R407C. The ECU consists of a condenser and an evaporator unit. The condenser will mount on the front outer wall of the shelter with no modifications. The evaporator will install inside the shelter with no modifications. The RWS is part of the Standardized Integrated Command Post System (SICPS) suite of systems. This survey is published in compliance with FAR Part 10, (Market Research). The purpose of this survey is to canvass the industry for any possible sources for the inverter identified below. This request for information does not constitute a request for proposals. Submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary. The Government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred in responding or in any subsequent exchange of information. This Sources Sought Announcement (SSA) is released for purposes of conducting market research to identify additional sources for the production of the Line Repairable Unit (LRU) used in the SICPS system NSN: 4120-01-521-2697 Description: Air Conditioner 1P/N: 1900 This LRU a commercially available ECU utilized in the S-832/G Rigid Wall Shelter (RWS). It is the only known technically acceptable part for its application. Only a form, fit, and function identical part will suffice. This is NOT a Request for Quote or Proposal. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on this SSA or reimburse any costs associated with the preparation of responses to this SSA. NO funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for award of a contract at this time. This Sources sought announcement (SSA) is for planning and market research purposes only, and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. The information gathered from this announcement will be used to determine if responsible sources exist, and to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or set aside for Small Business. Furthermore, the Government will use the information, in part, to determine the best acquisition strategy for a potential procurement action and/or to assist in making acquisition strategy decisions in the future. The USG CANNOT guarantee specific requirement for production of LRUs. However, minimum projection is currently estimated at a total quantity of 11 for NSN 4120-01-521-2697. It is highly encouraged that interested sources fully capable of satisfying potential supply for these items identify and submit their best economic range quantity to achieve manufacture cost savings as part of responses to this announcement for consideration. Source control drawings, performance and finish specifications do not exist for these LRUs, these documents will not be provided if and when the USG release a RFP/Solicitation. Detailed data for repair and/or manufacturing, inspections and test procedures and other documentation pertaining to the existing design WILL NOT be supplied by the Army as they are not available.
