Service for the Removal and Installation of Vertical Lift Modules

This modification to the previous Request for Information (RFI) is provided as a correction to the original posting that was issued in error. The requirement for the contractor to provide a Service for the Removal and Installation of Vertical Lift Modules should have stated that this requirement is intended to be issued as a sole-source requirement to Kardex Remstar to provide all labor, materials and equipment to install three (3) each vertical carousels after disassembling and removing current carousels located at DLA Aviation Tinker Air Force Base. The requirement for the Kardex Remstar product is that the Vertical Carousels conform to the existing foot print that allows for adaptability and configuration based upon the uniqueness of the design and its' existence in the current workplace.
