The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for a non-personal services contract aimed at replacing the obsolete Static Power Inverter in the M26 Decontaminating Apparatus. The contractor is tasked with providing a verified replacement that operates on 12VDC and outputs 220VAC, ensuring its robustness for military environments. Key objectives include identifying a suitable inverter, determining an installation location within the M26's Control Panel, conducting verification tests, generating installation instructions, and delivering a prototype inverter for government evaluation.
The contract period is 90 days from award, with all work performed at the contractor's facility. Key personnel, including a contract manager, will oversee execution, and the contractor must adhere to government quality assurance requirements. Security protocols for handling Controlled Unclassified Information are also stipulated. Deliverables include one static inverter and comprehensive installation instructions to be submitted within the contract's timeframe.
As part of the government's commitment to maintaining operational capabilities within military equipment, this PWS emphasizes precision, compliance, and effective communication throughout the project, ensuring all performance standards are met with zero deviations.
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Rock Island (ACC-RI) issued a Sources Sought Notice regarding the M26 Static Power Inverter, seeking qualified sources for identifying, installing, and generating instructions for a replacement inverter to convert 12VDC to 220VAC. The request specifies that the obsolete inverter's part number is 6.621-025.0 with a National Stock Number of 6130-12-331-1721. Interested vendors are invited to submit capability statements by June 20, 2025, detailing their qualifications and how they can provide an inverter compatible with military standards, including robust performance in harsh environments. Key requirements include identifying a suitable replacement inverter size, ensuring operational temperature resilience, and creating installation instructions for government personnel. IMPORTantly, this notice is informational and not a formal solicitation for quotes or an obligation by the government to award a contract. The information received will aid the development of ACC-RI's acquisition strategy for future inverter requirements.
