The purpose of this notice is to inform interested parties that Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ intends to issue on a sole source basis an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Advanced Packaging, Inc. (API) for the procurement of API transit storage cases with foam in support of the Radio Integration System (RIS) Family of Systems. It’s anticipated that this will be a Firm Fixed-Price contract.
Only the API brand name transit support cases with foam can meet the unique combination of requirements for this procurement. The API transit storage cases with foam are capable of protectively storing all equipment needed to operate the RIS systems. They are also designed with grooves for secure, non-slip stacking with other API transit cases and with accompanying API radio cases, thus allowing for secure transport, storage, and reduction of the overall system footprint. Additionally, the API transit storage cases with foam have successfully passed environmental testing. These API transit storage cases with foam were procured previously for the RIS program and are currently integrated in the RIS platforms. No other transit storage cases with foam can meet this unique combination of requirements.
