DESCRIPTION 1. Purpose: The purpose of this Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) is to conduct market research to determine local vendor capability and identify potential sources for a Remote Generator Monitoring System. This system is designed to provide comprehensive monitoring of generator performance, including run-time hours, without requiring Internet connectivity. The system is self-contained and operates independently, ensuring data security and accessibility even in remote locations. Data is stored locally, and a customized procedure is included to allow easy retrieval of information directly to a laptop for analysis and reporting without the need for additional proprietary software. This avoids the complexities and potential vulnerabilities associated with cloud-based solutions. This market research is being conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 10. 1.1. This Sources Sought / RFI will be utilized for planning purposes to determine if responsible sources exist and to assist in determining if future efforts can be solicited on a competitive basis. This Sources Sought / RFI is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. 1.2. PLEASE NOTE - No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this request or any follow-up information requests. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SOURCES SOUGHT / RFI. 2. Requirement: The Government is seeking information on a Remote Generator Monitoring System with the following critical performance characteristics: Ability to store logged data locally and download data by connecting to a laptop via cable (i.e., no cellular/internet network connection, no ethernet cables). No annual subscription/renewal fees for data storage or cellular connectivity. Discrete alarm inputs. Analog inputs. Control relays. Serial port. Alert speakers and LCD display. 3.
