RFI for 220V / 50Hz Power Tools for OCONUS Operations (Europe)

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Europe and Africa is conducting market research to determine the availability of domestically manufactured (U.S.-made) 220-Volt / 50-Hertz power tools to support operations in Europe. The purpose of this market research is to identify if there are U.S. domestic manufacturers capable of providing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) power tools that natively operate on the European power grid without the use of external voltage transformers. • The power tools should natively support operating input of 220V–240V alternating current (AC) at a frequency of 50Hz. • The power tools should not require external voltage transformers, frequency converters, or step-down adapters to operate on a standard European 220V/50Hz power grid. • The power tools should be manufactured, produced, or assembled in the United States.
