Lightweight Multipurpose Shelter

This five-year requirements contract solicits the design and fabrication of Lightweight Multi-Purpose Shelters (LMS) Type I and Type III, specifically engineered for transport on the M1152A1 and M1152A1 with B2 Armor Kit HMMWVs, and capable of being moved via rail, air, marine, and highway both mounted and dismounted. The shelters are rigid-wall, EMI-shielded tactical units intended to house battlefield electrical systems, with each unit requiring a Shelter to HMMWV Mounting Kit and a Pintle Extension Kit, both stored internally and separately boxed. Production units must also include an over-packed Technical Manual. The contractor is fully responsible for procuring and mounting the HMMWVs for First Article Testing since these vehicles are not provided as Government Furnished Equipment. The contract follows a Firm-Fixed-Price structure and is awarded under the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning the award will go exclusively to the responsible bidder with the lowest evaluated price, with no trade-offs permitted between cost and technical factors. All technical and packaging requirements are stringent, governed by military standards including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, MIL-STD-129 for marking, and MIL-STD-130 for Unique Item Identification using 2D Data Matrix symbology encoded with format indicators 05, 06, or 12. Packaging must include Logistic Product Data and Special Packaging Instructions validated through ASTM D4169 Distribution Cycle 18, and all shipments require heat-treated wood packaging compliant with ISPM-15. Inspection and acceptance occur at origin for hardware and destination for technical data, with First Article Testing governed by MIL-HDBK-831A and DI-MISC-82386, and production testing by DI-NDTI-80809B. Deliveries are structured across CLINs, with First Article Testing to be completed within 330 days of award and production deliveries required within 210 days of each delivery order, with no orders placed until FAT is approved. All technical data, including Interface Control Drawings, Test Plans, and Safety Assessments, must be developed by the contractor without Government-provided TDP, and submissions must adhere to strict electronic formats through DoD SAFE, with invoicing mandated via WAWF. The contract requires compliance with multiple DFARS and FAR clauses covering anti-k
