The TDPC is no longer a viable option as its ordering period is ends on 30 September of 2020. The PACRM MAC will primarily focus on the sustainment piece of the ISD process for the aforementioned platforms. Market research was performed by issuing a �Sources Sought� announcement to identify possible sources capable of meeting the requirement.� The Sources Sought notification was published to the beta-SAMS website on 13 Mar 2020. �The intent of the notice was to ensure full consideration is given to all potential sources.� Based on market research and the responses to the Sources Sought notification, the government determined that sufficient capabilities exist within the industry base to support a small business set-aside for the PACRM MAC. �The NAWCTSD Office of Small Business Programs concurs with the set-aside determination.� The Small Business Coordination Record (DD 2579) was approved on 19 May 2020, supporting a Small Business Set-aside competition under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330 for the PACRM source selection.

PACRM MAC contract type is anticipated to be a Small Business Set-aside Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) with Firm-fixed-price (FFP) and Cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) components.� The estimated ordering period consists of a 60 month base period, followed by one two-year option, for a total of 84 months.
