AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground-Belvoir Division plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Non-Intrusive Technology, Inc. (NIITEK) to provide Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) over 21 months for integrating Deep Buried Detection (DBD) capability into the existing Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). This system, HMDS-A2, is a critical counter-IED solution designed to detect buried threats such as underbelly IEDs and antitank landmines on primary and secondary roads, supporting Route Clearance Packages. Following the initial development phase, there is an optional 15-month period for providing technical and logistics support, maintenance services, and Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) of the HMDS-A2 systems and spare parts. The HMDS-A2 includes advanced detection technologies installed on both manned and unmanned Husky Mark III vehicles to enhance the identification of explosive hazards and weapons caches during route and area clearance operations. The resulting contract will utilize a combination of Firm Fixed Price and Cost Plus Fixed Fee arrangements. NIITEK has been identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the government's requirements, invoking a statutory authority that allows for contracting without full and open competition. While this notice is not a solicitation, interested and capable parties are invited to submit expressions of interest or proposals within 15 days, limited to ten pages and in Microsoft Word format. All inquiries must be submitted via email to the designated Contract Specialist, and telephone inquiries will not be entertained. The government will evaluate submissions to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, though the decision rests solely with the government.

Full Description

The U.S. Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground-Belvoir Division, on behalf of Project Manager Close Combat System (PM CCS) intends to negotiate with Non-Intrusive Technology, Inc. (NIITEK) 23031 Ladbrook Drive Dulles, VA on a sole source basis to provide Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) for a period of 21 months to demonstrate the integration of the Deep Buried Detection (DBD) capability with the existing HMDS Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and a 15 month option period to provide technical and logistics data, maintenance services and Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) of HMDS-A2 systems and spare parts in support of the Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) Program of Record (PoR). The HMDS-A2 is a counter-IED system with the capabilities to detect underbelly IEDs and antitank landmines buried in primary and secondary roads. As a result, the HMDS-A2 is vital to Route Clearance Packages (RCP). HMDS-A2 uses an advanced, high performance GPR to detect both non-metallic and metal-cased buried threats, including IEDs constructed of bulk explosives and low-metal pressure plates. HMDS-A2 provides the GPR, Deep Buried Detection (DBD), and Marking Capabilities, installed on the manned and unmanned Mark III Husky, that enable detection of underbelly-attack explosive hazards during route clearance missions and weapons caches during area clearance missions. The resultant contract will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF). It has been determined that NIITEK, Inc. is the only responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1); Only One Responsible Source and no Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals. However, all responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. All proposals received within 15 days will be considered by the Government. Responses shall be no longer than ten (10) pages and shall be in a Microsoft Word compatible format. All responses and requests for further information shall be submitted via email to the Contract Specialist, Alison Peters, at contact@example.gov. Telephone requests for additional information will not be honored. Acknowledgement of receipt will be issued. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
