The U.S. Department of Defense, through the FA5613 700 Cons Pk office, is seeking a trailer-mounted 1000 kW load bank for installation and use at Ramstein-Miesenbach in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. This requirement, identified by solicitation number FA5613A003 and classified under NAICS code 811310 and PSC 6150, is currently in the presolicitation phase, meaning no formal contract award will occur from this notice. The load bank must be a mobile, durable unit designed for safe transportation and capable of handling medium-voltage inputs of 2400V and 4160V with adjustable load increments up to 1000 kW to perform full-load generator testing. It must incorporate integrated cooling and over-temperature protection, digital monitoring systems for real-time voltage, current, frequency, and power factor display, and be mounted on a road-ready trailer with stabilizing outriggers. The system shall be housed in weather-resistant enclosures with secure panels, include compliant grounding and medium-voltage connection points, feature safety interlocks for operation with BPUs, and sustain continuous full-load operation under varying environmental conditions. The procurement will be conducted under the most advantageous to the government standard, evaluating commercial items in accordance with FAR 52.212-2 and adhering to Trade Agreements provisions under FAR 52.225-5. No set-aside will be applied due to the overseas location of the requirement.

The point of contact for inquiries is Jonathan Rushin, with Autry Fontenot as secondary contact, both reachable via U.S. Air Force email and phone. No pricing, delivery schedule, inspection criteria, or contract administration details are included at this stage, as this is an information-gathering notice only and no proposals or quotes are solicited.
