Description

Request For Proposals DAAB15-01-R-1013 (replacing draft Request for Proposals DAAB15-00-R-1011) The U. S. Army Communications-Electronics Command Acquisition Center -- Washington and the Project Manager for Mines, Countermine and Demolitions (PM-MCD), Countermine Division, are planning to post a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development, deployment and support of Countermine Capability Sets (CMCS). The CMCS is a suite of available or off-the-shelf countermine equipment used by forces deploying to conduct contingency stability and support operations (SASO). It is designed to provide an incremental, but significant increase, over currently fielded countermine systems, specifically, to meet deficiencies in the route and area mine clearing missions. The Countermine Capability Set (CMCS) provides equipment to temporarily fill the shortfalls in near-term capabilities while more effective equipment is being developed. CMCS will consist of several types of countermine equipment, including mine detection, neutralization, limited clearing, marking, and protection equipment. There is a requirement to conduct an Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of Research and Development for selected pieces of CMCS equipment in order to enhance their performance and verify maintenance and training support materials. The Contractor is also required to conduct a developmental and engineering effort to develop logistic support documentation and materials not provided by the Government or to improve existing support documentation and materials for the CMCS hardware. The contract will require the awardee to provide Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) services, including responding appropriately to emergency situations arising from within or outside the United States. In performing these services, the awardee will be required to provide comprehensive maintenance, supply, training and logistics documentation support to CMCS equipment. The U. S. Army will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a hybrid contract including Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Time & Material and Award Fee portions. Selection of the awardee will be made on a best-value basis. A Virtual Reading Room is available at http://www.brtrc.com/cmine. The RFP and information related to this procurement can be found at: https://abop.monmouth.army.mil under Contracting Officer, Patricia Davis or Contract Specialist, Jane Borden. The RFP will be posted on the Army Interactive Business Opportunities website at https://abop.monmouth.army.mil on or about 2 March 2001. The RFP number is DAAB15-01-R-1013 (previously DAAB15-00-R-1011). The RFP will close on 2 April 2001. Proposals in response to this RFP must be submitted electronically to the Contracting Officer through the Army Interactive Business Opportunities website by 2 April 2001.
