Interested vendors may propose alternate NAICS based on the applicable technology area. Marine Corps Installations Command (MCICOM), in response to the need to adjust to new procedures in a COVID19 environment, is conducting an industry assessment of the ability to measure elevated skin temperature of individuals entering facilities on Marine Corp Installations. A vendor demonstration and assessment of the FLIR A700 system capabilities is underway. This assessment will test a critical and urgent capability needed to protect the lives of installation tenants and families which is the temperature screening of personnel upon entry to a facility. Per guidance provided by the CDC, those who have fever (100.4 F or above) or other signs of illness under the 42 Code of Federal Regulations parts 70/71 Final Rule, should not be admitted to the facility in efforts to mitigate the risk of potential COVID-19 resurgence. This assessment will be to test the below critical operational issues. Critical Operational Issues that Have Been Identified: The screening process – for those being screened – is easy to use. The screening process – for those conducting the screening – is easy to use. The technology detects “warm” bodies (above 100.4 F) more accurately than through a manual screening process. Use of the capability cost as compared to sustaining a manual screening process. Use of the capability results in reduced time spent –by those conducting screenings – for the screening process. Use of the capability results in an increased feeling of “safety” and “trust” for those being screened. Use of the capability results in an increased feeling of “safety” and “trust” for those conducting screenings. Submission process and due date: Interested vendors with alternative solutions to meeting the critical operational issues identified above should provide a marketing brochure only of the technology they would like showcased. To respond to this RFI, please send your information via e-mail to I-neXt_G7@usmc.mil. The due date for responses to this RFI is 1700 EST on 23 October 2020. If your technology is of interest, the Government POC will contact you with an invitation to participate. All companies will be notified of invitation/non-invitation decisions by 30 Nov 2020.
