Description
The Marine Corps Regional Contracting Office (MCI‑WEST) issued a market research request (RFI) to identify alternate pulk/sled products that meet specific winter‑mountain performance criteria for the Mountain Warfare Training Center. Respondents must submit a technical specification worksheet – no pricing is required. The focus is on a lightweight, rigid, fiber‑reinforced sled with a one‑person tow system and compatible harnesses. This is a pre‑procurement information‑gathering effort, not a solicitation for a contract award.
• Required sled dimensions: ≤ 62 cm width, ~135 cm length, < 9 kg weight, > 350 L packed volume, white, rigid resin laminate, replaceable runners.
• Tow system/harness must be quick‑release, MOLLE‑compatible, usable with or without a USMC pack, and allow a single Marine to tow the loaded sled.
• All items must be commercial‑grade winter‑expedition equipment, durable, and suitable for cold‑weather mountain sustainment.
• Submissions are limited to the technical specification worksheet; no quotes or pricing are to be included.
