Pursuant to FAR 15.2, this notice is being issued as a Request for Information. Any questions concerning this posting should be sent to the Contracts POC: Miroslaw Chodaba, US Army Contracting Command-Redstone, CCAM-RDB, Redstone Arsenal, AL via email at miroslaw.chodaba.civ@mail.mil .
This is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI). The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Aviation and Missile Center (AVMC) is currently conducting market research only. No award is intended as a result of this synopsis nor does the Government intend to pay for information received. Responses to this notice are not an offer and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. RFI Responses will only be accepted from United States Companies and Organizations. Foreign Participation is not authorized for this effort.
The future Army aviation environment will include a variety of unmanned air vehicles that enable the use of novel off-board survivability payloads, including sensors, countermeasures, and other techniques. These payloads will work cooperatively with traditional sensor and countermeasure systems to enhance the overall survivability of manned platforms. The Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) is conducting market research on candidate payloads of this type to inform ongoing studies and planning for future S&T projects in this area. This RFI is intended to identify novel technologies and other enablers that are candidates for further investment and development in order to provide the desired capability for Army aviation. The focus of this RFI is on technologies that are TRL 5 or higher and can be matured to an operational capability in 3-4 years with appropriate investment. Particular interest exists in capabilities that may have been developed for other services or platforms but that can be transitioned to the Army aviation environment. Additional details about the desired capabilities are contained in a classified appendix that will be provided to eligible respondents upon request.
All eligible respondents possessing appropriate security clearances are encouraged to attend an industry engagement meeting to this RFI that is scheduled for 20-21 October 2020 in Arlington, VA. This industry day will include a detailed briefing from government representatives on the objectives for this capability followed by a question and answer period. The plenary session will be followed by the opportunity for one-on-one meetings between industry and the government to discuss the responses submitted by each participant in more detail and answer any questions that relate to contractor proprietary data. Based on the RFI submissions and the discussions during the industry engagement meeting, the government may elect to hold additional discussions or solicit other inputs from selected offerors in appropriate forums to obtain relevant data.
A classified appendix that contains more detailed information on this RFI will be provided to eligible respondents. Interested parties should send an email to Kevin Kee, kevin.m.kee.civ@mail.mil, with the subject line” Off-Board Survivability RFI Classified Appendix” and provide the following information: company name, CAGE code, physical address, POC (name, email, phone), and available method for receiving the appendix.
