E-MAIL: click here to contact the contract specialist via, Cathy.Harkey@redstone.army.mil. AMCOM's proposed contract action will include pre-production activities on a design developed by Kollsman under a Comercial Operation and Support Savings Initiative (COSSI) Phase I Agreement. In addition, the effort will include the design/build of Initial Production Facilitization (IPF) for future procurement of 200 -- 400 SELRD systems. AMCOM proposes to procure on an other than full and open competitive basis, because there is only one contractor capable of providing the unique engineering and technical expertise required to continue this pre-production effort.
