We as the Government, will treat this as information only.  Introduction: A significant threat to nuclear command, control, and communications (NC3) systems is the high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) environment produced by the detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude. Resulting electromagnetic energy can couple into facilities, cabling, antennas, and other electrical systems, causing mission-upset or mission-aborting permanent damage. Conventional power generation systems are vulnerable to these effects. To maintain operational capability following a HEMP event and related threats, USAFE-AFAFRICA requires NC3 systems and interfacing systems to be hardened with low-risk backup power in accordance with DAFI 10-2601, Electromagnetic Pulse Survivability Program and ND 501-02. USAFE requires Cummins Inc. HEMP-hardened Rugged Mobile Power (RMP) generators that will support systems with critical, time-urgent missions across multiple installations in the European theater. Generators must provide survivable, distributed mobile power of 30 kilowatts (kW) as detailed in this SOW. Overall, this sources sought is to addresses the procurement of commercially available, BRAND NAME, Cummins Inc. HEMP-hardened Rugged Mobile Power (RMP) generators in 30 kW. The Government is seeking interest and capabilities from OEM or authorized/certified OEM resellers who are able to supply and service all of the specifications within this sources sought. General Scope: The contractor shall provide HEMP-hardened Rugged Mobile Power generators, coordinate and support HEMP survivability testing, deliver technical and hardness maintenance documentation, and ship fully compliant units to designated USAFE-AFAFRICA locations specificed in this document. The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, management, and services necessary to perform the tasks described herein. The contractor shall: Receive specifying generator parameters (Attachment 01): Quantity Rated power (kW): 30 Phase, Voltage: 1PH-120VAC, 1PH-120/240VAC, or 3PH-208/120VAC Frequency: 50, 60, or 400 Hz. Delivery destination with installation access instructions, and end user contact information Order or manufacture the specified Rugged Mobile Power generators meeting all technical requirements  Schedule and coordinate HEMP Threat-Level Illumination (TLI) testing  Ship generators to the approved test facility, provide any required support equipment (such as load banks, cables, connectors), and provide personnel support during testing as required by the facility. After successful HEMP testing and issuance of required certifications, ship generators to the final USAFE-AFAFRICA destinations. Support Government inspection, functional testing, and acceptance at the delivery location. Provide all required technical documentation, test plans, test reports, HMHS documentation, and other deliverables. Further Scope Details:  Generators: The contractor shall provide Cummins Rugged Mobile Power (RMP) generator sets (or functionally equivalent) power rating of (28) 30 kW that meet or exceed the technical requirements of this SOW and applicable standards. Additionally, the generator must have undergone and successfully passed HEMP survivability testing at NAWCAD Patuxent River or an equivalent formal DoD HEMP qualification program, with test results and certifications acceptable to the Government. Each generator configuration shall: Conform to MIL-DTL-32496 for generator sets, skid or trailer mounted, 30 KW. Operate across environmental extremes from -50 °F to 135 °F. Comply with MIL-STD-461F electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Be capable of operation with specified military fuels (e.g., JP-8, JP-4, DF-1, DF-2, DF-A) consistent with MIL-DTL-32496. Provide rated power output at altitude as specified in manufacturer data and maintain automatic load control and voltage regulation from no-load to full-load. Include rugged 4-cycle industrial diesel engine, 24-volt starting system with NATO slave connection, and battlefield mobility and ruggedized construction features. Provide low infrared and acoustic signatures consistent with
