AI Contract Overview

The US Army Natick Soldier Center plans to award a sole source contract to Artisent, Inc., based in Boston, MA, to support the final year of the Future Force Warrior (FFW) Advanced Technology Demonstration Program. Artisent will be responsible for designing and integrating soldier-centric systems, working closely with the FFW Technology Program Office and selected subcontractors to develop field-rugged prototype systems for both basic soldiers and leaders. The contract is intended to be completed within a six-month timeframe, with an additional six months of technical support. Artisent is uniquely qualified for this work due to their deep familiarity with FFW components, their prior involvement in innovative design concepts, and their developed integration strategy that aligns both technical and soldier-centered requirements. This contract is being awarded on a sole source basis because Artisent is currently the only contractor capable of meeting the tight schedule and technical demands in collaboration with existing FFW component providers. It is anticipated that once the prototypes mature, future system components will be procured through full and open competition. While this notice is not a request for proposals, the Government welcomes comments within 15 days of the announcement to help determine whether a competitive procurement is necessary. The contract is associated with NAICS code 541710, and further inquiries were directed to a designated Government representative by early December 2006.

Full Description

The US Army Natick Soldier Center (NSC) intends to award a Sole Source contract to Artisent, Inc., Boston, MA, to design and integrate soldier-centric systems during the final year of the Future Force Warrior (FFW) Advanced Technology Demonstration ( ATD) Program. Under the proposed contract, Artisent will work under FFW Technology Program Office (TPO) guidance with selected FFW subcontractors to design, develop, and integrate field-rugged FFW Basic Soldier and Leader prototype systems. The rationale for other than full and open competition is that Artisent, Inc. has been determined to be the only contractor currently capable of working with the FFW TPO and selected component providers to design and integrate the soldier centric systems required in the necessary timeframe of six months with technical support continuing an additional six months. Artisent has intimate knowledge of the FFW components, has worked on novel design concepts for each component, and developed an integration strategy that works f rom both a technical and soldier based reference point. Once the design solutions developed under this effort mature, it is anticipated that system components will be procured under full and open competition. This notice of intent is not a request for com petitive proposals. However, all comments received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this not ice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
