About this vehicle
This vehicle is closed to new orders and no longer active for business development purposes. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command established the Rapid Prototyping and Technology Initiative (RPTI) as a Master IDIQ on March 5, 2010, with a shared ceiling of $200 million, but ordering closed on September 4, 2015—more than ten years ago. The vehicle has been superseded by RPTI Generation 2, awarded July 9, 2014.
The RPTI contracted design, development, manufacture, and integration of engineered solutions ranging from individual prototypes through low-rate initial production, with examples including bipod modification kits for the M240 machinegun, disrupter integration systems, objective gunner protection kits, digital work instructions for munitions reset and remanufacturing, and prototype machining and test equipment. Task orders were priced as firm fixed price or cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements with individual ceilings typically between $200 thousand and $3.4 million.
All 38 task orders under the vehicle carried Total Small Business set-asides. The vehicle obligated $43.6 million against combined potential task-order value of $152.6 million (29% utilization). Order volume concentrated in 2011, with 15 awards that year; subsequent years saw markedly lower activity (one to four orders annually from 2012–2015), reflecting the vehicle's planned phase-out in favor of its successor.
Smh-Uxb Joint Venture, LLC dominated by potential value, holding 7 orders worth $113.6 million combined; Universal Technical Resource Services Inc. held the most awards by count (21 orders) but lower potential value of $33.3 million. Picatinny Arsenal placed the majority of orders by funding agency, with 15 task orders valued at $121.1 million combined, followed by the Research Development and Engineering Command with 12 orders worth $14.3 million. The remaining customers across Army, Navy, and Coast Guard organizations spread narrowly across the remaining activity.
Description
This is a legacy Master IDIQ that ended in 9/15. It has been replaced by RPTI GEN2.

Services include the design, development, manufacture and integration of unique, difficult-to-obtain, engineered solutions ranging from individual prototypes up to and including low rate initial production (LRIP) levels.
