Quantities are undetermined as this sources sought market research is for a potential future multiple year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). These generators will support mission-critical Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) and Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) system platforms across the USAFE theater of operations, ensuring their survivability in a post-HEMP environment.
The most critical performance requirement is that the generators must have documented, official proof of successfully passing HEMP survivability testing at the Horizontally Polarized Dipole (HPD) EMP Simulator at NAWCAD, Patuxent River, MD. This is a military-unique requirement layered upon a commercial product. The generators must be specific Cummins Rugged Mobile Power (RMP) models compliant with MIL-DTL-32496 and MIL-STD-461F. A critical long-lead schedule item is the generator delivery, which is anticipated to be 60-120 days after receipt of order. The contractor must also provide a complete documentation package, including Hardness Maintenance/Hardness Surveillance (HM/HS) procedures per NC3 Directive 501-02. Here is the list of requirements as stated above:
