The tiles must be capable of protecting the BFVS against the anti-tank guided missile class threats, and must not be vulnerable to burning or detonation from small arms fire. The tiles must also meet BFVS weight constraints (the armor and mounting hardware cannot add more than 6,200 pounds to the vehicle), and it must fit the armor attachment provisions currently in place on the BFVS. This requirement shall be solicited on a firm-fixed-price basis. The contemplated quantity for FY02 is between 66 ? 90 vehicle sets. A vehicle set is comprised of twenty-six (26) M3A1 tiles; nine (9) M4A1 tiles; fifty-five (55) M5A1 tiles; seven (7) M6A1 tiles; and eight (8) M7A1 tiles. These tiles must be qualified per performance specification MIL-PRF-70773 which has been classified SECRET. The FY02 requirement will also include the evaluation/incorporation of a Class I ECP for an upgrade to the front and side tile design. After issuance of the Contemplation Letter/Solicitation, all respondents must have a minimum SECRET clearance to gain access to this information. TACOM-ARDEC hereby requests that any firm which may have the capability of meeting this contemplated requirement should provide a Statement of Capability and supporting rationale to Mr. Stephen Ernyey at area code (973) 724-3456 so that it may be properly evaluated prior to solicitation of the requirement.
