INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND In support of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), the U.S. Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is anticipating issuing a solicitation for the follow-on of the current Design, Development, Demonstration, and Integration (referred to as �Design, Development, Demonstration, and Integration II� or �D3I2�). The anticipated solicitations will include a full-and-open domain (D3I2 Domain 1) and a 100% small-business set-aside domain (D3I2 Domain 2) (note that D3I2 D2 consists of a combination of the current D3I D2 and D3I D3 contract vehicles). The current D3I multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (MAIDIQ) contract vehicle is designed to satisfy recurring research and development (R&D) requirements across USASMDC and other associated Department of Defense and Federal organizations. The scope of current D3I MAIDIQ program follows an evolutionary development of systems architecture focused on a �Concept to Combat� philosophy. It is anticipated that the follow-on D3I2 D1 and D3I2 D2 acquisitions that are the subject of this notice will be MAIDIQ contracts that will provide USASMDC with the ability to procure a broad range of space, high altitude (HA), missile defense, and other applicable Warfighter solutions in support of customers� developmental and operational requirements. The follow-on contract will encompass performance requirements that include (but are not limited to) technology gap identification, design, development, modernization, fabrication, integration, modification, and testing of limited quantity production, prototypes, systems, subsystems, components, sub-components, technologies, innovations, processes, and architectures. In addition, the requirements include delivery, product transition, fielding, sustainment, operations, and maintenance of R&D projects, R&D systems and sub-systems, and prototypes. The types of services for the D3I2 D1 and D3I2 D2 follow-on acquisition will include (but are not limited to) the following technical support areas (TSAs) under which performance requirements will fall. D1. TSA Space and HA. The Space and HA support area includes all aspects of military, civil and commercial space operations to include launch, space segment (platform and payload), HA segment (platform and payload), ground segment communications between the ground segment and space or HA segments (platform and payload), ground segment, space related user segment, and management of information derived from space or HA and aerial layer sources. The space support area also includes space force enhancement, space control, space support and space force application, to include the design, development, and integration of components that are integral to conducting testing, assessments, or a development event. TSA Missile Defense. The global integrated missile defense support area includes all aspects of missile defense (including ballistic, non-ballistic, and cruise missiles) to include detection and characterization of air and missile threats, mission command, active defense and passive defense and attack operations. This support area also includes all aspects of global strike objectives. This support area further includes offensive operations, elimination operations, interdiction operations, active defense, passive defense, weapons of mass destruction consequence management, security cooperation and partner activities, and threat reduction cooperation. D2. TSA Enhanced Warfighter Capabilities. This area is focused on, but is not limited to, advanced technologies that have the potential to enhance current and future warfighting capabilities, addresses Army and Joint capability gaps, or provides a critical leap ahead military advantage. This TSA also includes host platforms; detection devices; counter-improvised explosive devices technology; cyber; directed energy components; advanced component technology development for high energy lasers and high power microwave systems; electronic warfare, force enhancement areas (satellite communications); surveillance and reconnaissance; position, navigation, and timing; missile warning; weather, terrain, environmental monitoring; navigation warfare; HA; electronic effect; counter-electronics; advanced materials and techniques; and energy devices. TSA Information Integration and Data Exploitation. This area is focused on, but is not limited to, data and information systems; cloud computing; mission command (command and control); communications and computers; cyberspace; data fusion, data integration, and data analysis and exploitation; big data analytics; operational analysis and assessments; artificial intelligence/machine learning; and quantum computing. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Contract type: MAIDIQ task order contract(s). Ordering period: Minimum of five years (base) up to ten years (with one 5-year option). Task order performance period: On average three-to-five years with task order performance extending up to three years beyond the last day of an ordering period; the anticipated total period of performance for the resulting MAIDIQ contract (to include task orders) is anticipated to be 12-13 years. Contract Ceiling: Contract ceiling value has not yet been established, but estimated range of $1.9B - $2.5 billion (B) for D3I2 D1 and $1.50B - $2.05B for D3I2 D2 (note values are subject to change). Place of performance: Continental United States and Outside Continental United States locations to include contractor and Government facilities. Required security classification level: Defined at the task order level up to Top Secret with Sensitive Compartmented Information and/or higher access (as required) for contractor personnel and secure facility clearance with safeguarding for contractor facilities.
