- Description
- Rapid Prototyping and Technology Initiative (RPTI) Generation Two (GEN2) This Request for Information (RFI) is for planning purpose only and should not be construed as a request for proposal or as an obligation on the part of the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Market Survey or otherwise pay for information solicited. Please identify any proprietary information submitted. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the survey. The U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) Rapid Prototype Integration Mission requires a broad range of contractor support to assist in the conduct of design, fabrication and testing required to enable rapid technology solutions/products for the field and PM customers, especially in the areas of Lethality, Counter-Lethality, and to support other RDECOM/AMC/Army and DoD rapid fabrication missions, including support for RDECOM PIFs (Prototype Integration Facilities). These services and capabilities will support the design, development, manufacture and integration of unique, difficult-to-obtain, engineered solutions ranging from individual prototypes to low rate initial production (LRIP) levels. The ability to reach out to small businesses, Academia and other providers to integrate novel and unique technology solutions into rapid prototypes is highly desirable. Specific lethal and counter-lethal rapid support may consist of fabrication, assembly, integration and/or test/qualification capabilities, as well as providing materials, equipment, engineering and/or prototyping services for one or more of the following major categories that the Government may utilize to satisfy its rapid requirements: 1 - Materials/Processes: To include any other materials/processes essential to the fabrication of a weapon, armament, munition or product, or to integrate with any tactical vehicle, as follows: a. energetics b. composites/coatings/adhesives c. metals d. electronics e. optics f. lasers g. other miscellaneous materials/processes 2 - Component Fabrication/Equipment: To include capabilities to provide the following components and/or equipment, including installation at ARDEC facilities, as follows: a. armaments b. non-energetics c. energetics d. munitions e. electronics f. metallic components g. non-metallic components h. other miscellaneous components/equipment 3 - Product Assembly: To include combining any or all armaments, non-energetics, energetics, optics, lasers, electronics, and/or other components into a final lethal, scalable, or counter-lethality platform, armament, or product, or to provide equipment and/or installation at ARDEC facilities. 4 - Systems Engineering and Integration: To include the systems engineering process, system of systems capability, integration, and/or product fielding and support. 5 - Testing Support and Capabilities: To include the full range of analytical, material, and/or system testing as follows: a. energetic materials b. non-energetic raw materials, products, and/or components c. support the development of Quality Acceptance Criteria d. fabrication of specific acceptance materials e. ability to support both destructive/functional and non-destructive testing for 1. energetic components and end items 2. non-energetic components and end items f. to provide process equipment and/or installation at ARDEC facilities as required in support of testing requirements 6 - Engineering Services: To provide the full range of engineering services to support the life cycle engineering needs from cradle to grave, including fielding and operational sustainment. This includes: a. Modeling and Simulation to include Computer Aided Design, Computer Aided Engineering and Computer Aided Manufacturing b. Project Management c. Product Life Cycle Information Technology and Knowledge Capture/Documentation d. Facilities Engineering to include process and equipment purchase, layout, installation and/or acceptance e. Process, Product, and Quality Engineering and associated Information Technology expertise to address a wide variety of ARDEC/RDECOM/AMC/Army and DoD requirements Firms/companies are invited to indicate their interest and capability to satisfy the above requirements by identifying the following items: 1. Company Name 2. Company Address 3. Company Point of Contact with Telephone Number and E-mail Address and phone number 4. Type of Business (Large Business, or Small Business Type) and Number of Employees 5. CAGE code, and DUNS Number 6. Major partners or suppliers 7. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. Is your business considered a small business based on your NAICS Code? 8. Please indicate your firm's capabilities, inclusive of manufacturing, managing and engineering experience, in each of the 'major requirement' categories AND subcategories. In your description of experience, also include whether or not your firm is capable of performing the work, or if utilization of a subcontractor would be required. If you have no experience with one of the categories/subcategories, please indicate as such. ). 9. Please provide any additional comments. The information must be submitted within 30 calendar days from the date of this publication. Responses shall only be accepted electronically. All parties should submit their information to the following email address: christopher.w.fotiadis.civ@mail.mil.
