Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Plan (FY20 AP) under Ground Vehicle Systems (GVS) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA)

The contract GVS OTA, W15QKN-17-9-1025, established on September 26, 2017, between the Army Contracting Command and the National Advanced Mobility Consortium, supports research and development prototype projects focused on Ground Vehicle Systems. It functions under a unique Other Transaction Agreement framework to facilitate collaboration between the government and industry members of NAMC. The Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Plan, issued to NAMC, outlines multiple objective areas including Architecture Security Modularity, Autonomy, Modeling and Simulation, Platforms, Powertrain, External, and Survivability, promoting technological advancements in these fields. This announcement serves primarily as an informational notice inviting NAMC members to submit White Papers for potential future prototype proposals, although it is not itself a solicitation for those proposals. The plan is intended to inform industry and NAMC members about upcoming opportunities under the FY20 cycle, requiring eligible members to submit White Papers for each project of interest to participate in subsequent Requests for Prototype Proposals. The contracting office overseeing this effort is the W4GG Headquarters at US Army TACOM located at Detroit Arsenal, Michigan, and designated points of contact include an Agreements Officer and a Contract Specialist. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 54171, related to Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and the contract supports developmental activities aimed at enhancing ground vehicle system capabilities for military applications.
