AI Contract Overview

The contract involves the modularization of the 1st Cavalry Division and its conversion to the Army Battle Command System (ABCS) version 6.4 configuration, as directed by the U.S. Army Forces Command. The scope includes the acquisition of services and materials needed for the fabrication, integration, testing, training, and delivery of twenty-six Command Post Platforms (CPPs), procurement of fifty-one Command Center Systems (CCS), and configuration of twenty-five Battalion sets for modularity conversion. The effort supports the 1st Cavalry Division's RESET and modular transformation upon their return from Iraq in April 2005, ensuring that Unit of Action and Unit of Employment echelons are converted to CPPs and aligned with the ABCS 6.4 system. Initial integration and net training of the first Unit of Action are scheduled for completion by October 2005. Reset activities will be conducted at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Fort Hood, Texas, followed by modular conversion and cross-leveling of battalion assets by Northrop Grumman Mission Systems to guarantee compatibility and interoperability with the new platforms. The acquisition emphasizes expedited fabrication and integration to support deployment readiness for Iraq, Afghanistan, or other hostile environments. This effort is anticipated to be executed through a fixed-price-incentive contract modification to an existing contract with Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, with an estimated cost of approximately $48.8 million and a performance period of 18 months. The contract reflects the Department of Defense's commitment to updating and improving command and control systems for enhanced battlefield operations.

The Tactical Operations Centers/Air and Missile Defense Command and Control Systems (TOCS/AMDCCS) Project Office has been directed by the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) to immediately modularize the 1st Cavalry Division and convert to Army Battle Command System (ABCS) 6.4 configuration. To accomplish this directive, it is necessary to acquire services and materials to fabricate, integrate, test, train, and deliver twenty-six Command Post Platforms (CPPs) for the 1st Cavalry Division, to procure f ifty-one Command Center Systems (CCS), and to configure 25 Battalion (BN) sets for Modularity Conversion. The 1st Cavalry Division will be returning from Iraq in Apr 05 and are required to be RESET, realigned into a Modular configuration, and TOCs for Uni t of Actions (UAs) and Unit of Employment (UE) echelon converted to CPPs. Under the current schedule the first UA unit must be fully integrated and net trained prior to hand-off to 1st Cavalry Division by Oct 05. Upon their return, the 1st Cavalry Divisi on will immediately be RESET by Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) at Ft. Hood, TX. Upon the completion of RESET activities, modularity conversion/cross-leveling and realignment of 1st Cavalry Division BN assets will be conducted at the same location by Northrop Grumman Mission Systems (NGMS). This effort will ensure existing 1st Cavalry Division assets are compatible and interoperable with the new CPPs at UA and UE echelons. Additionally, new CPPs and CCS from NGMS will be required for the 1st Cavalry Division UA and UE units. This effort will ensure expedited fabrication and integration of CPPs and CCS(s) in support of current Army plans for deployments of units to Iraq. It is anticipated that this acquisition will be acquired through the issuance of a lette r contract modification to existing Contract W31P4Q-04-C-0159 with NGMS, 1800 Glenn Curtiss Drive, Carson, CA, 90746-2800. The anticipated contract type will be Fixed-Price-Incentive. This acquisition will provide for expedited fabrication and integration of CPPs, CCS, and the re-configuration of existing 1st Cavalry Division shelters to ABCS 6.4 in support of current Army plans for deployments of units to Iraq, Afghanistan, or other hostile area. The total estimated cost of this procurement is $48,797,87 8. The estimated contract period of performance for this effort will be 18 months.
