This Request for Information (RFI) is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal and should not be construed as a commitment by the Government to award a contract as a result of this request for information. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ is seeking sources for the procurement of a proven solution for a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) mat system that can support United States Marine Corps (USMC) rotary and tilt-rotor aircraft. The Expeditionary Airfield (EAF) Concept is a shore based, aviation weapons support system which permits deployment of landing force aircraft within effective range of ground forces. This concept allows for the construction of portable, reusable, forward-deployed airfields which can be assembled in a building block concept for the rapid introduction of air power. These airfields are currently constructed using AM2 Mat aluminum-alloy panels. The AM2 Mat expanses can be assembled to form an airfield's runways, taxiways, parking areas, and other areas required for aircraft operations and maintenance. Interested companies may submit relevant product specifications or literature that meet Government requirements as delineated below. Broad industry participation is desired but NAWCAD Lakehurst is primarily interested in designs that are currently in production. Material identified as company proprietary provided in response to this RFI will be treated as such by the Government. ***See Attachment for full RFI posting, which includes information on eligibility, requirements, submittal information and instructions, and how to respond.*** The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
