Category: Opportunity DoD Communities of Interest: Misc, Other Subject: SSA (Automated Warehouse) Due Date: 22 Dec 2020 Government Organization: US Army Description: The Army Materiel Command is seeking information in order to transform an existing Supply Support Activity (SSA) warehouse into a state-of-the-art Model SSA. The Model SSA would exploit advanced technology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and automated systems for war-time, field and garrison missions in order to monitor performance, enable rapid SSA configuration, and provide increased velocity of all segments of the supply chain, to include delivery to the customer. The Government’s desired end state is a more efficient supply chain (SSA) that is able to receive, issue, pack, label, inventory management, store stock and distribution utilizing minimal touch labor while significantly increasing the SSA’s operations efficiency and accuracy. AMC’s initial (proof of concept) Model SSA is located at Fort Hood, Texas. The number of unique inventory items stocked at the SSA is approximately 4,458 with 95% of Common Authorized Stockage List (CASL) weighing under 31 pounds with an average weight of 2.25 pounds. CASL minimum and maximum weight ranges from 0. 01 pounds (washers, etc.) to 8580 pounds. Robotic systems or automated carrying systems must be able to carry loads representing 95% of the inventory stored in the SSA in fixed and bulk locations, operate in various environments and support planographs built on the fly. In support of market research, the Government is requesting information from interested vendors with regards to Industry’s capabilities to assess the current warehouse operations, identify capability gaps and opportunities for optimization utilizing cutting edge technology to design a solution to meet the desired end state and then subsequently field the solution. The use of existing commercial off the shelf, non-developmental technology is desired to the maximum extent possible. Interested vendors may submit a whitepaper not exceeding 10 written pages (12 point Ariel Font), or 15 pages total with the inclusion of charts/graphs (no more than 10 written).
