A--Development and production of 4 to 12 Hybrid Electric High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs). Prototype vehicles would be subjected to Government testing.

NA The Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) is interested in identifying contractors who may be interested in developing a Hybrid Electric High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HE HMMWV). This market survey is for information and planning pur poses only, it does not constitute a request for proposal, and it is not to be construed as a commitment by TACOM. All interested companies, regardless of size, are encouraged to respond. It is anticipated that TACOM will issue a solicitation (in the future) for the development and production of the HE HMMWV. It is anticipated that the competing contractor's proposals will be evaluated using a paper down select method. It is anticipated that the Government will provide 4 to 12 HMMWV's to the chosen contractor to be converted into HE HMMWVs for a full Government test program. Depending on the results of testing, the contractor who is chosen during the paper down select may be awarded the production vehicles (current projected quantities are between 1,500 to 20,000) on a sole source basis. The HE HMMWV shall: (1) provide a minimum reduction in fuel consumption of 30% based on M1113 and HMMWV Operational Mission Summary and Mission Profile; (2) be C130 transportable; (3) provide continuous auxiliary power, as a minimum - 30 kW (@ .8 PF) of selectable 120/208, 240/416 VAC, 3-phase, Y-configured, and two modes of export power (Mode I: 50/60 Hz, Mode II: 400 Hz); (4) not degrade the performance or capabilities demonstrated by the currently fielded HMMWV and (5) provide silent watch and silent mobility capabilities.
