AI Contract Overview

The contract announces a transition from a previously issued Request for Information (RFI) to a Special Notice indicating the Government's intent to release a Request for Project Proposals (RPP) for the Kinetic Energy (KE) Defeat Capability to support the Product Manager Vehicle Protection Systems (PdM VPS). The Government seeks prototype systems capable of degrading, disrupting, or defeating large-caliber, long rod kinetic energy penetrators. Proposals previously submitted under the RFI must be resubmitted following the new RPP guidelines to be considered. This effort is conducted under the Ground Vehicle Systems Other Transaction Agreement (GVS OTA) awarded under authority of 10 U.S.C. 2371b, stemming from the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act. The RPP will be issued to the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) through its Administrative Agent, the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), to solicit proposals from consortium members. The Government plans to evaluate all proposals and, if feasible, conduct vendor demonstrations in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2019, with vendors responsible for providing demonstration assets, support personnel, and range safety documentation, while the Government supplies the test facilities, threat munitions, and measurement equipment. Following the successful completion of the prototype project, there is potential for a follow-on production contract without competitive procedures under 10 U.S.C. 2371b(f). This notice serves solely to inform interested parties of the upcoming RPP release and offer guidance on consortium membership. The primary points of contact are located at the U.S. Army TACOM in Warren, Michigan.

The GVS OTA was awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. - 2371b, Section 815 of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, P.L 114-92. The Government is seeking a prototype KE Defeat system that will determine the available solutions and concepts with the ability to degrade, disrupt and/or defeat large caliber, long rod KE penetrators . The USG will review all proposals in response to the RPP and will determine the feasibility of conducting a KE Defeat vendor demonstrations in 2QFY19. The USG's expectation is that vendors will provide their demonstration asset, demonstration support personnel, and range safety documentation; the USG will provide the test facility , range support, threat munitions, test equipment and measurement devices. Follow-on Production: In accordance with 10.U.S.C. 2371b(f), and upon a determination that this competitively awarded prototype project has been successfully completed, this prototype project may result in the award of a follow-on production contract or transaction without the use of competitive procedures. NOTE: This Special Notice is for informational purposes only. A prototype project will not be awarded in response to this announcement. The purpose of this announcement is to provide members of the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC), and industry in general, advanced notification of the Government's intent to release a RPP to the NAMC membership. The RPP will be issued to the NAMC's Administrative Agent, the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), who will then issue the request for proposals to the NAMC.
