The government is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to explore sources for a Next Generation Containerized 500kW Generator intended for use in austere environments, supporting the rapid deployment of military forces and disaster response. The RFI aims to identify existing or developing solutions, assess trade-offs, and gather industry insights to guide the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center in meeting its objectives. Submissions of documentation showcasing capabilities, concepts, and models are invited, with an emphasis on participation from both large and small businesses, including recommendations for small business set-asides. The detailed objectives specify the generator's requirements, including size, weight, power output, fuel capabilities, operational temperature range, and compliance with environmental standards. Additionally, a trade-off matrix allows industry participants to provide feedback on the achievability of these goals and suggest improvements. Responses must be submitted by December 9, 2024, to the designated government contacts, with no guarantee of future contract opportunities for participants.
