Description
NOTE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only.
1.0 OBJECTIVE
Request for Information ONLY
The objective of this effort is to design a replacement shelter modification for the legacy DDF-3000 modification using the S-786/G US Army standard tactical shelter. There is a need and an opportunity to provide the warfighters a new DDF modification incorporating 20 years of lessons learned from the DDF-3000’s service during the Global War on Terror. By providing the contractor the S-786/G standard shelter technical data, the legacy DDF-3000 technical data, and a list of required modifications they will develop the new DDF-X modification technical data package and technical orders. Validation and verification of the modification will be conducted on a GFE S-786/G shelter which will be retained by the Tactical Shelters, Radomes, and Towers (TSRT) office.
2.0 BACKGROUND
The current USAF TSRT program office supported Deployable Debriefing Facility (DDF-3000), which is a modification for the S-786/G standard shelter, is over 20 years old. It has seen continuous field service during that time. In managing its lifecycle, the program office has had feedback both from warfighters and tactical shelter maintenance personnel in its successes and challenges. Our primary tactical shelter maintenance depot (OO-ALC) has informed us that many of the components used in the DDF-3000 are no longer procurable, making refurbishment of the existing fleet or conversion of new base S-786/G shelters into DDF-3000s impossible. The changes required to the original drawings and T.O. to make the DDF-3000s supportable again are too extensive to be practical. A replacement effort, using warfighter and depot feedback, has been determined as the best way forward for increasing demand for DDF type shelters. TSRT would use this opportunity to incorporate suggested DDF features from the US Army shelter office’s LMERWS (F-35 Lightning Modular Expandable Rigid Wall System) shelter project for which TSRT will likely inherit some lifecycle support responsibility, at a future date. Additionally, USAF users have gone to the private sector to purchase Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) DDF-type shelters over the course of the GWOT, which they have come to TSRT to support as they age. We cannot effectively support the lifecycle of COTS shelters as their design is proprietary and they are not parts supportable. This modification would provide a design that can be acquired by units in need of DDF-type shelters which can be supported by a USAF depot for their entire lifecycle.
