Full Description

SOURCES SOUGHT (REQUEST FOR INFORMATION): THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION; no award will be made as a result of this request. This request for information is for informational purposes only; this is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). All interested parties are encouraged to respond to this RFI. The Government will not pay for information and materials received in response to this RFI and is in no way obligated by the information received. 1. SCOPE. Background: The mission of the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force (REF) is to rapidly increase mission capability while reducing risk to Soldiers and others by equipping operational commanders with off-the-shelf (government or commercial) solutions or near-term developmental items that can be researched, developed and acquired quickly. The REF receives requirements from operational commanders in war zones setting forth the capabilities needed. The REF is chartered by the Senior Army leadership to provide material solutions to meet these requirements in a significantly reduced timeline compared to traditional Department of Defense acquisition procedures. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain technical and cost information from manufacturers regarding the availability of Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Thermal Imaging . Experience and information obtained from this request for information will be provided to Army Product Manager REF who will evaluate the information and feasibility of issuing a procurement action to resolve the stated problem. 2. REQUIREMENTS. The US Army Rapid Equipping Force has a requirement for (12) Advanced combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) compatible thermal sights with the following characteristics: 1. Capability to be mounted on M-4/M-16 weapon systems or used as a stand-alone device. 2. Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) compatible. 3. Size: 5.9 inches long. 4. Weight: 29 oz. with batteries. 5. It needs to be black in color. 6. It needs to operate off (4) type CR-123 lithium batteries. 7. It needs to provide 1x magnification when used with ACOG and .5 x magnification with stand-alone use. 8. It needs to possess toggle switch between white hot and black hot. 9. It needs to be waterproof up to 66 feet. 10. It needs to possess low battery indicator turned on when 30 min left of battery life. 11. It needs to be enclosed in hardened magnesium case. 12. It needs to have the capability to operate in temperature range of - 40 F to + 140 F. 13. It needs to possess an infrared red (IR) laser pointer. 3. DELIVERABLES Specific information on industry capability to produce a system that can meet the requirements identified in paragraph 2 above, or otherwise solves the problem of identifying and detecting objects being emplaced. This is NOT a Request for Proposal. Companies who desire to participate in this market survey are encouraged to submit a white paper which supports the company's claim that it presently has the technology, qualifications, and capabilities to satisfy the performance and technical objectives described above. The white paper should discuss the company's ability to develop and/or provide existing technologies to improve soldier protective levels and should provide a ROM (rough order of magnitude) price and its anticipated delivery for the solution proposed. Please only submit information on products that are currently commercially available or products that are in the final stages of development and will be available for demonstration. The white paper should also discuss related company experience and include point(s) of contact. The white paper should be prepared in MS Word, limited to ten (10) pages, and submitted electronically to the contracting specialist contact@example.gov. The company shall be responsible for any costs associated with preparing responses to this market research. All requests for further information must be made in writing or via email; telephone requests for additional information will not be honored. The government will review RFI submissions as they are received. The government reserves the right to close this RFI once they have received adequate response(s) to this RFI.
