Description

22 -- It is proposed to award a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract for two Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Missile launcher transporter prototypes as a follow-on contract to Firm-Fixed Price contract DAAE07-00-C-S064 awarded to Oshkosh Truck Corporation (OTC), Oshkosh, WI, on a sole-source basis. The effort will also include provisions to purchase long lead items and qualification testing of the prototype(s). Contract DAAE07-00-C-S064 (a two-phase contract) was awarded in June 00 for $30,000.00 (Phase I) to conduct an engineering based study to determine the feasibility of adapting a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) chassis as a C-130 aircraft transportable launcher transporter for the THAAD Missile. Phase I of the contract consisted of a feasibility assessment supporting the rationale for the replacement of the THAAD Launcher's current on the M1075 PLS truck system (also produced by OTC) with an improved HEMTT truck. The proposed effort will be performed in parallel and in sequence with efforts by the THAAD Program Office (TPO) located in Huntsville, AL, at Redstone Arsenal.
