    Attachment 1 - Module Characteristics.docx
    The document outlines the specifications for the construction of two modules—Command Module and Service Module—as part of a military project named ORION’S BELT. The Command Module is designed to be a lightweight, transportable shelter featuring EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) mitigating materials, security installations, and various power and data connection functionalities. Key design elements include composite wall panels, a fortified door, internal insulation, multiple power distribution units (PDUs), lighting systems, and security features like motion sensors and an IDS control suite. The Service Module is focused on power management and includes a standby generator with a 24-hour fuel reserve, a transformer for power conversion, and an automatic transfer switch for seamless power transitions. It also requires commercial shore power compatibility and a controllable PDU. The RFP aims to secure a contractor capable of fulfilling these specifications to enhance military operational capability while ensuring robust security and environmental control in challenging settings.

The decision for a sole source award has been justified based on FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(1), citing SelectTech as the only responsible source available, primarily due to prior R&D work already executed, which would lead to significant cost redundancy if competed. The contract will be a five-year, Firm Fixed Price Single Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type, following appropriate FAR procedures. This notice serves purely for informational purposes and does not constitute a solicitation for bids. Responses are requested by 13 September 2024, with the government not intending to pay for information provided in response to this notice.
