This Request for Information (RFI) announcement is to identify any interested sources before soliciting non-competitive acquisition per FAR 6.302-1 “Only One Responsible Source” for a modification to Contract W31P4Q-19-P-0135 in support of the IBCS Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E). This is not a solicitation for proposals and no contract shall be awarded from this announcement.

The requirement of this acquisition is to physically move the Relay pallet from the M-1085A1 Cargo Truck to a M-1085A2 Cargo Truck in the May 2022 time frame, and add additional period of performance to the current contract, W31P4Q-19-P-0135., for IBCS EMD development efforts through 4th  Qtr FY22.

Unlike traditional acquisition programs that focus primarily on the development of a single system or platform, the IAMD Program is uniquely structured to enable the development of an overarching System of Systems capability with all participating Army Air Defense components functioning interdependently to provide total-operational capabilities not achievable by the individual element systems. The Army IAMD program achieves this objective by establishing the Army IAMD architecture and developing the IBCS that provides EOCs implementing common Mission Command capability, an IFCN capability for fire-control connectivity enabling distributed operations, and the common P&F B-Kits located on the EOCs and the IFCN Relays that network enable existing sensor components and weapon components with the IBCS.

The Government does not currently have a technical data package for this requirement.
 

All responses shall be submitted to the U.S. Army Contracting command, ATTN:  CCAM-SM-C/Damesha Williams, Building 5250, Redstone Arsenal, AL  35898-5280 or email: [email protected] and courtesy copied to IAMD Project Office, ATTN:  SFAE-MSL-IAB/Keith Gregory, Building 5250, Redstone Arsenal, AL  35898-5280 or email: [email protected]. Your written responses are required by 0800 CDT 24 Nov 21.  All questions and comments must be in writing (electronic email responses are acceptable), and no telephone calls will be accepted. The submission of this information is for planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to procure any items, nor does the U.S. Army intend to award on the basis of this request for sources sought or otherwise pay for the information solicited.
