- Description
- The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Strategic Forces Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) is seeking potential sources interested in and capable of performing Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) for Space Superiority in a classified Top Secret SCI environment. The primary task is to develop a mobile, ground-based, tactically-centric space information superiority capability to meet joint requirements and validated U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) capability gaps. The system would maximize Commercial and Government off-the-shelf (COTS and GOTS) hardware and use Modular and Open System Approach architecture to enhance future upgrades to meet emerging/changing space capabilities. System mobility, using military tactical vehicles, will enable the system to move and maintain space superiority in support of Brigade tactical operations. The potential development contract may include completion of a preliminary design over an eighteen to twenty-four month period while building two Production Representative Systems that will be used in developmental and operational testing. The proposed effort may also include options for follow-on low density production (3-15 total systems) completed over an additional eighteen month Production cycle. Although no formal solicitation exists at this time, it is anticipated that the resulting request for proposals will be approved and issued as a Small Business Set Aside and USASMDC/ARSTRAT is issuing this Special Notice to gain additional awareness of interest, capabilities and qualifications of all Small Business entities that can support this requirement as a prime contractor. Teaming is encouraged. All small business teams capable of providing the requirements as outlined in this Special Notice are invited to respond and participate. Potential offerors will be required to have a current TS SCI facility, as well as personnel with current TS clearance that are SCI approved, for contract performance. The classified information dissemination meeting/industry day is postponed until further notice (this meeting will be an opportunity to review the DRAFT request for proposal package). While postponed, it is anticipated that the future industry day conference will be limited to three persons per small business, or six persons per small business team. Personnel attending the meeting must have a current TS clearance with SCI eligibility. A best value source selection is anticipated as the method of contractor selection. Contract type has not yet been determined. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code that adequately describes the majority of the work is 334220 Space Satellites, Communications, Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 750 Employees. In accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS), all potential offerors are reminded that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is required. Lack of registration in the CCR will make an offeror ineligible for contract award. No solicitation is being issued at this time. This notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. Interested parties must respond to this notice to be considered for future solicitations associated with this effort. Any information provided by industry to the Government as a result of this event is voluntary and will not be returned. No entitlements to payment of direct or indirect cost or charges to the Government will arise as a result of contractor submission of responses or Government use of such information. The information obtained from industry to this event may be used in the development of the acquisition strategy and future requests for proposal. As appropriate, a list of industry day conference attendees will be published to attendees to facilitate teaming arrangements. All questions or inquiries should be submitted, in writing or electronic mail, to the Government point of contact.
