AI Contract Overview

The US Army is seeking to acquire a Bridge Erection Boat (BEB) designed to support tactical float bridge and rafting operations. The BEB must be capable of rapid deployment from its launch platform, quickly connecting and maneuvering float bridge components to form bridges or rafts. Additional roles include supporting diving operations, personnel transport, and serving as a water safety craft. The acquisition, planned for fiscal year 2008 without guarantee of future work, emphasizes a craft operable on JP-8 fuel, with real-time water depth and velocity detection capabilities, and the ability to interface with both Improved Ribbon Bridge (IRB) and Standard Ribbon Bridge (SRB) systems. Transportability requirements specify that the BEB must be compatible with C-130 aircraft for single-package transport and be highway, sea, and rail transportable using standardized military assets like the M1977 Common Bridge Transporter and Bridge Adapter Pallet. The questionnaire solicits information on commercially available equipment that may require minor modifications to meet these specifications. Respondents are encouraged to provide detailed information on performance, safety, reliability, warranty programs, and dealer networks. Responses are due by early April 2008 and must be submitted on CD via mail to the designated office at the Detroit Arsenal.

Full Description

This questionnaire supports the US Army's need to procure a Bridge Erection Boat (BEB) that is capable of supporting tactical float bridge and rafting operations in its primary mission. The purpose of this questionnaire is to aid in determining the suitability of commercially available equipment (with minor modification if necessary) that will satisfy the US Army's requirements for a BEB.

The BEB must be respo nsive in its ability to be rapidly deployed from its launch/retrieval platform, and be capable of quickly connecting to and maneuver float bridge components to form either a bridge or raft. The BEB must also have the ability to serve in support of diving o perations, transporting personnel, and as a water safety craft. The following requirements will likely be used in this acquisition: (A) General - Operated on JP-8 fuel; Provide means for detecting water depth and velocity, and the distance between far and near shores in real time; Interfaces with the Improved Ribbon Bridge (IRB) and Standard Ribbon Bridge (SRB). (B) Transportability - C-130 transportable in a single package; Highway transportable on M1977 Common Bridge Transporter (CBT), M14 Improved Boa t Cradle (IBC), and Bridge Adapter Pallet (BAP); Sea transportable on standard military sea assets; Rail transportable on standard military rail assets.
