- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground - Natick Contracting Division (ACC-APG-NCD), on behalf of the U.S. Army Product Manager - Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment (PM-SCIE) has a requirement for a Global Positioning System based navigation system for use during clandestine air infiltration missions. The PARANAVSYS will provide a reliable and easy to use navigation system that will allow for accurate, automated mission planning, precise determination of the release point in the aircraft, the ability to update the mission profile as required prior to deployment and real time navigation information during infiltration to multiple drop zones. The system will allow for enhanced mission capabilities due to the elimination of environmental and visual limitations of the current doctrine. It will increase the operational capability of Commanders to infiltrate parachutists by air surreptitiously into enemy held or denied territory, maintaining unit integrity and maximizing Force Protection at multiple drop zones with near simultaneous landings, during all weather and light conditions. This is a pre-solicitation notice and not a Request for Proposal (RFP). It is anticipated that a final Fedbizopps Announcement and RFP will be released in January of 2014 with proposals due an estimated 30 days after release of the RFP. The Government anticipates awarding a five (5) year Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The NAICS Code is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). The Government reserves the right to make a single award, multiple awards or no awards as a result of any solicitation. The minimum contract requirement is for four (4) Navigation Units and two (2) Mission Planners for each contract awardee. The maximum contract requirement will not exceed 10,000 Navigation Units and 1,000 Mission Planners. Funds will be obligated for quantities ordered upon issuance of delivery orders, and not by the basic contract. In accordance with FAR 15.306(a) (3), it is the intent of the Government to evaluate proposals and may award without discussions. This is being procured IAW FAR Part 15. When released, the RFP, including all amendments and applicable documents (with the exception of patterns, if applicable) will be available in electronic medium at U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground - Natick Contracting Division at https://www3.natick.army.mil and through Federal Business Opportunities at https://www.fbo.gov.

In the event of discrepancy between the information shown on this web page and the actual RFP documents, the actual RFP documents and amendments thereto shall govern.
