Sources Sought Notice for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (ESVE) Manufacturers
The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy, is seeking potential Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) manufacturers capable of meeting their requirements. The purpose of this notice is to determine if there is commercially available EVSE for use in the NAVFAC Southeast Area of Responsibility, which includes Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
The EVSE must meet specific requirements, including the need for (2) 40amp circuits for each charging station, Level II chargers with at least two SAE J1772 connectors, and charger connection cables of at least 16 feet. Additionally, the chargers must have automatic web-based tracking/metering and control capabilities, as well as an Electronic Data Interface for file transfer of various parameters.
Other features required include energy and demand metering, web-based control capability for remote administration and access control, and payment/activation/vehicle identification methods. The charging stations must also have nuisance tripping avoidance and auto-re-closure features, as well as visual operational status indicators and scheduling features for utility off-peak start times.
Interested manufacturers must submit their responses in electronic form, limited to 5 pages in length and 5MB in size, by 2:00 PM EST on January 2, 2023. The primary contact for submissions is Rebecca Jones at rebecca.m.jones75.civ@us.navy.mil.
This notice does not constitute a request for a quote or proposal, but rather serves to identify potential EVSE manufacturers. The results of the evaluation will be communicated via a pre-solicitation/synopsis notice. No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with providing information in response to this notice.
