1.0 Introduction

The National Guard Bureau’s Operational Contracting Division (NGB-AQ-C), 111 South George Mason Drive, Arlington, VA 22204 is issuing this Sources Sought as a means of conducting Market Research to determine the availability and adequacy of commercial sources to provide fully integrated Crowd Control Support Modules (CCSMs) for the National Guard Reaction Force (NGRF) and Quick Reaction Force (NGQRF) standardization effort. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged, and no feedback or evaluations will be provided to companies regarding their submissions.

2.0 Description of Requirement

The purpose of this requirement is for a vendor to source, kit, integrate, and deliver specialized commercial tactical equipment as a single, mission-ready Crowd Control Support Module (CCSM) Bill of Materials (BOM) packed inside QUADCON freight containers.

The estimated period of performance is anticipated to be a base year with subsequent option periods.

The contract type is anticipated to be Firm-Fixed Price (FFP).
