Mid Range Capability (MRC) Production
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) intends to acquire a fifth Mid Range Capability (MRC) battery through a sole source procurement with Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMC). The procurement will include four launchers, one Battery Operations Center, one Battery Support Vehicle, and one Reload Trailer, with potential for additional Ground Support Equipment (GSE). The contract will be awarded using other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A) and (B), which allows for procurement from the only responsible source that can satisfy agency requirements. The contract will leverage existing Navy technology, specifically the MK-41 Vertical Launching System modified for land-based applications. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 16, 2024, with a due date of December 27, 2025, providing potential vendors with ample time to review the opportunity.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific small business category and will be a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract with a three-year base period covering fiscal years 2025-2027. Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMC) Rotary and Mission Systems, with CAGE code 02769, is the incumbent and proposed sole source contractor, having developed and produced the first four MRC batteries. While specific award values were not disclosed, the contract includes potential options for Institutional Training Base equipment. A Sources Sought Notice issued on March 26, 2024, resulted in no alternative responses by the April 16, 2024 closing date, further supporting LMC's unique capability. The procurement falls under NAICS category 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing) and PSC category 1440 (Guided Missile Launchers), reflecting the specialized nature of the equipment being procured.

F. For cure-dated items: shelf life markings on physical material are expressed by month or quarter and year designations (i.e., 11/2001,or 3Q2001). Shelf life periods end on the last day of the cited month or quarter.
