Defense Logistics Agency intends to obtain inverter, power supply used in the Command Post Platform (CPP). The inverter, power supply is a self-contained unit that converts DC voltage into 120 VAC with an output of 10 A (continuous) or 12 A peak. The front panel contains several AC connections along with several LEDs that provide indications and warnings. The front panel also has an ON/OFF switch and connectors needed for electrical connection to the battery source. The inverter also acts as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The inverter will mount inside the shelter with no modifications. The CPP 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: 6130-01-562-7680 Description: DC/AC Inverter 1000 W P/N: IPSi1200M-20-110NG This LRU a commercially available inverter utilized in the CPP (AN/TSQ-232(V)2, AN/TSQ-232A(V)2, AN/TSQ-232(V)4, and AN/TSQ-232A(V)4). 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 6130-01-562-7680. 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.
