- Description
- Modified Ballistic Re-Entry Vehicle (MBRV)-11 Development, Production, Delivery, and Launch Operations Combined Sources Sought/Notice of Intent to Sole Source HQ014719C0005 Purpose: The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is conducting market research for the Modified Ballistic Re-Entry Vehicle (MBRV)-11 Development, Production, and Launch Operations.� The information contained herein only initiates communication with industry in order to assess market potential. No solicitation document exists at this time. This Request for Information (RFI) constitutes no Government obligation to procure these items or issue a solicitation. The Government does not have an obligation to pay for information responding to this RFI and will not accept any responses as offers. MDA is seeking alternate sources that can develop and deliver up to five MBRV-11�s to support the Missile Defense System (MDS) test program with a need date for the first Best Estimated Test Date (BETD) of 3Q FY2026.� If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a modification on the T4 Subscale Contract, HQ0147-19-C-0005 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC), CAGE 8LM16, 1575 South Price Rd Chandler, AZ 85286-6615 under Statutory Authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Based on currently available information, MDA believes that only NGSC is capable of providing the required services without substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays. The period of performance for this effort will be March 2023 to potentially as far as December 2029. Under the modification discussed above, the existing T4 Subscale Contract period of performance will be extended to potentially as far as December 31, 2029.� This notice is intended to meet the requirements of both FAR Part 5 and DFARS PGI 206.302-1. Description of the Requirement: Design and develop the MBRV-11 based on the Targets System Performance Specification (TSPS) Configuration 1 (C1) dated May 4, 2021 (DE-DEIE-2021-SPEC-TPS-001 MBRV Configuration 1) while complying with MDA�s Systems Engineering Processes. Deliver five (5) MBRV-11s to support the NGI flight tests based on the Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) with the first BETD of 3Q FY2026. Procure, manufacture, and assemble hardware and perform required testing. Support launch vehicle integration, launch execution and pre-/post-flight activities. The MBRV-11 addresses a need to deliver target solutions for the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) flight test requirements to defeat upcoming missile threats.� The MBRV-11 will comply with the Targets Launch Vehicle to Payload Interface Control Document and will be integrated with the IRBM/ICBM Launch Vehicle to build the all-up-round Target. Per IMTP 23.1, the BETD for the first MBRV-11 is 3Q FY2026. Responses: 1) Responses should address the ability to design and develop the MBRV-11 based on the Targets System Performance Specification (TSPS) Configuration 1 (C1) dated May 4, 2021 (DE-DEIE-2021-SPEC-TPS-001 MBRV Configuration 1) while complying with MDA�s Systems Engineering Processes. Deliver five (5) MBRV-11s to support the NGI flight tests based on the IMTP BETDs with the first BETD of 3Q FY2026. Procure, manufacture, and assemble hardware and perform required testing. Support launch vehicle integration, launch execution and pre-/post-flight activities. 2) Responses should also address the associated detailed schedule that supports reviews, design, development, testing, production, MBRV delivery date, launch vehicle integration, and flight test execution at the required BETD.� 3) Responses should also address the cost estimate associated for the effort. Note: the cost information should include the cost with the Kit F8 and cost without the Kit F8 capability. � Submission Instructions: There is a 25 page limit for this RFI which should contain an executive summary, capabilities/plans/activities, and figures/tables/graphs. Cover Page should include: Company name Point of Contact information Business Size Status DUNS number and CAGE code Any Government ordering vehicles (GSA, DLA, etc.), if applicable Provide a capability statement for conducting the MBRV-11 Development, Production, Delivery, Integration, and Launch Operations that meet the need date. Responses in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat formats are preferable. Please submit email responses to the email/POCs listed below.�� The Government highly discourages submitting proprietary or business sensitive information. Vendors submitting proprietary or business sensitive information bear the sole responsibility for marking the information for appropriate safeguarding.� Proprietary information will be protected from unauthorized disclosure as required by Subsection 27 of the Office of Procurement Policy Act as amended (41 U.S.C. 423), as implemented in the FAR.� This is a Request for Information only.� The Government will not pay for information or administrative costs submitted in response to this notice. The Government will not provide feedback to any vendor regarding individual capabilities in response to this RFI. All responses must be received no later than July 13, 2022, 4:00pm, central time and should be submitted via email (TC-FutureAcquisitions@mda.mil). No telephone inquiries will be accepted.
