    The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst requires services to certify Mobile Facilities (MFs) in compliance with the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) and 49 CFR 450. MFs, used for Marine Aviation Logistics in austere environments, need to be inspected and certified after modifications that may affect their CSC status. The contractor will review shelter modifications, determining whether they qualify for CSC approval or necessitate additional testing through a structured Plan Review and Testing Plan process. Key tasks include issuing certification documentation, conducting CSC testing (which covers various structural and weatherproof tests), and performing necessary minor repairs. Contractors will provide engineering support, witness testing, and may need to travel to specified locations for inspections. All work will occur at the contractor’s facility upon receipt of the MFs from the government. This procurement aims to ensure that all MFs meet safety and operational standards, sustaining compliance and performance in military operations.

The contract is structured with multiple fixed-price CLINs, each specifying deliverables, such as test plans and various structural evaluations (e.g., stacking, racking, wall tests) at designated field locations, particularly Albany, Georgia, and San Diego, California. It emphasizes that all work is to be performed to meet specified standards and requires acceptance and inspection at the destination. Additional remarks stipulate restrictions on travel and repair approvals, designating them under the supervision of a Program Manager, as well as limits on hours and travel frequency.

    Attachment 4 - JOCOTAS Pamphlet_N68335-25-R-0275.pdf
    The Joint Committee on Tactical Shelters (JOCOTAS) of the Department of Defense (DoD) has established a Standard Family of Tactical Shelters, categorized into rigid wall, soft wall, and hybrid variants. Initiated in 1975, JOCOTAS aims to streamline the multitude of tactical shelter types within the military to enhance logistics, reduce duplication in research and development, and enforce standardization across the services. The brochure presents a comprehensive list of shelters approved for military use, including specifications and national stock numbers (NSNs) for various models, such as the Modular Extendable Rigid Wall Shelter (MERWS), the TEMPER Air-Supported Tent, and many others. Shelters are designed for multifunctional military purposes, providing environmental control, transportability, and adaptability for various missions, from command posts to medical facilities. The document highlights transportability options via air, land, and sea, ensuring quick deployment capabilities. Moreover, it details the ongoing need for modern advancements in shelter technology, suggesting that JOCOTAS will continue to expand the standard family as new requirements and technologies emerge, ensuring durable structures capable of withstanding harsh military environments.
