- Description
- This is a DRAFT Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Grenadier Sighting System (GSS), issued under solicitation number W15QKN-15-R-0005. This notice is for planning purposes only and constitutes a request for exchange of information pursuant to FAR 15.201. The purpose of this industry day is to exchange information to improve the understanding of Government requirements by industry, and to improve Government knowledge of industry capabilities. The Government intends to use this forum to better refine its requirements, not to elicit trade secrets. This announcement should be not construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government. Offerors are directed to NOT submit proposals at this time. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, in support of the Program Manager Soldier Weapons, has a requirement for the Grenadier Sighting System (GSS). The GSS will replace the previously fielded day/night sight to the M320/M320A1 Grenade Launcher Module (GLM). The GSS will address the capability gap within forces to effectively engage targets, from 100 to 350 meters during day and 100 to 200 meters at night, with the M320/M320A1 GLM. This GSS DRAFT RFP is issued under a Full and Open Competition. The Government intends to award a multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for a short term advanced developmental effort, with a down-select to a single vendor for production. Best Value, Trade-off procedures will be used for the GSS procurement, in accordance with FAR 15.101-1. The Government will select for award the proposal(s) that is most advantageous and represents the best value to the Government.

Comments, questions and/or concerns should be submitted by 26 JAN 2015. It is anticipated that questions submitted, during both the GSS Draft RFP and GSS Industry Day timeframes, along with corresponding Government responses, will be posted on Federal Business Opportunities (www.fbo.gov) after the GSS Industry Day is conducted.
