Description: OMFV Phase 2 Concept Design Solicitation W56HZV-20-R-0142 (Updated 2 February 2021) Army Contracting Command � Detroit Arsenal is releasing Request for Proposal (RFP) W56HZV-20-R-0142 for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) Phase 2 Concept Design Effort. Please see the posted RFP for instructions (�W56HZV-20-R-0142.pdf�). Note: All previously released OMFV Attachments are obsolete and are superseded by the 18 December 2020 RFP W56HZV-20-0142 and associated attachments released with this posting. There are attachments within the solicitation that are Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).� Instructions for obtaining the CUI Attachments are the following: If your organization would like to receive CUI documentation, please send an email to usarmy.detroit.peo-gcs.mbx.mcs-omfv-contracting@mail.mil. The subject line of your email shall state (exclusive of the parenthesis): ""(Vendor Name) - Request copy of the CUI Attachments XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX"".

In an effort to share the programmatic changes with industry, the Army conducted an OMFV Industry Day on 09 December, 2020. The event culminated with an opportunity for industry to engage the Army for questions or comments following the live portion of the OMFV Industry Day. Responses to Industry�s most common questions resulting from Industry Day are below: Q1: What type of contract will the Government use for OMFV Phase 2, Concept Design? � A1: This solicitation covers only the Concept Design Phase, which will be solicited on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis. � Q2: Please provide clarity on the Phase 2 approach regarding the Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) approach? A2: The Phase 2 OMFV Concept Design scope of work includes MS&A efforts to inform requirements, as well as conducting initial design activities through a System Functional Review (SFR). Contractor deliverables used in the MS&A activities are the contractors� input to the Abbreviated-Capabilities Development Document (A-CDD). The results of the Government MS&A events will be provided back to the contractors during contract performance. The contractors will submit initial concept designs based on the Updated OMFV Characteristics (CON), which will inform MS&A efforts. MS&A outcomes will inform the A-CDD and PSPEC Rev002. PSPEC Rev002 will replace the CON as the basis of requirements for continued development of concept designs. The contractor Systems Requirement Review (SRR) will be based on PSPEC Rev002 to the level of detail available. Following the Systems Requirement Review (SRR), another iteration of MS&A will inform the final A-CDD and PSPEC Rev003. The Government MOSA Architecture (GCIA Rev2) will accompany PSPEC Rev003 for further concept design development. The SFR will be based on the PSPEC Rev003 and the Government MOSA Architecture (GCIA Rev2) to the level of detail available. Following SFR, the contractors will continue to develop their concept designs to contract completion. Q3: What is the Government�s expectation for contractors when the revised PSPECs and Government architecture are published? A3: �After each refinement of requirements as described in Q&A2 above, the contract will be modified twice to incorporate the refined requirements � first with PSPEC Rev002 and second with PSPEC Rev003 and the Government MOSA Architecture (GCIA Rev2). The contractors will be required to revise their concept to accommodate any change from the previous requirements and continue development based on the revised requirements. The Government does not expect additional effort as a result of this iterative revised requirements process. The scope of work recognizes the potential impact by accepting the level of detail available for the initial concept design as well as for subsequent deliverables and reviews and by providing time for continued development following SFR. This provides flexibility for both the Government and contractors as the requirements iteratively evolve during Phase 2. Q4: �Will the Government provide detailed requirements products as part of RFP release? �� A4: �The intent for this specific solicitation and contract is to allow industry to help inform OMFV requirements for the next phase solicitation. To permit industry design freedom and promote innovation, the Army avoided quantifying or prescribing critical levels of performance wherever possible. The Government will provide the Updated OMFV Characteristics and Draft OMS/MP with RFP release. �The Updated OMFV Characteristics are mandatory for initial contract performance. Q5: What is the implementation process for the Government Architecture? �� A5: The Government will provide a MOSA Architecture at contract award for contractors� performance through SRR; the MOSA Reference Architecture Rev001 (Attachment 0025) includes the GCS Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA) Rev1. (These have only minor changes to those included in the July Draft RFP.) In parallel to Phase 2 OMFV Concept Design, a Government/Industry/Academia Architecture Consortium will update the GCIA. Contractors will be able to participate in the Architecture Consortium. This effort will result in a MOSA Architecture (GCIA Rev2), which will be provided with PSPEC Rev003, for contractors to utilize for contract performance through the remainder of Phase 2.� The Government expects to issue an initial announcement for this effort on beta.Sam.gov roughly concurrent with the release of the RFP. The GCIA Rev2 will define the specifications and interfaces for common (shared) infrastructure elements to enable MOSA compliant subsystems' implementation. The GCIA Rev2 defined interfaces will use consensus based industry standards (open).� The interface description documents, provided as part of GCIA Rev2, will provide all the necessary details.� The GCIA Rev1/Rev2 is not a detailed design. The contractors will be responsible for an overall OMFV system architecture implementation for a fully integrated platform concept. The GCIA Rev1/Rev2 will not define any subsystem functionality or system level performance specifications.� Consequently, proposals should recognize and address accordingly. The RFP will include specifics for the Open Architecture (MOSA) Approach. �� Q6: Are there ways for subcontractors to indicate their interest to team with potential primes? A6: OMFV has an Interested Subcontractors list posted on beta.Sam.gov. https://beta.sam.gov/opp/1b4fd66f7f9f43968c3d41312b8ad5a8/view?keywords=OMFV&sort=-relevance&index=opp&is_active=true&page=1 Instructions for how to be added to the Subcontractors list is shown below: Interested Parties (Prime, Subcontractor, vendors, etc.) are highly encouraged to add their company name and contact information to the Interested Vendor List on OMFV�s beta.SAM.gov post located at: https://beta.sam.gov/opp/9f5bdc9e53bf49fb85a1dfbccc3c6730/view?keywords=omfv&sort=-relevance&index=&is_active=false&page=1.
