Statement of Objectives (SOO) for Elevated Tactics System (ETS) BPA -

1. Background

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is tasked to protect and defend against threats that require the movement of tactical operators and equipment to a variety of tactical targets. These targets may be in austere environments requiring specializing equipment. This equipment is integral to the FBI’s law enforcement and national security missions, and to maintain the operational readiness. To meet this need, the FBI intends to award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to a vendor able to supply Elevated Tactics Systems (ETS) over a five (5) year period of performance.

2. Objective

The primary objective of this BPA is to secure a reliable vendor able to supply Elevated Tactics Systems (ETS) systems to maximize tactical advantage and operator safety during multi-level structural interventions by eliminating tactical bottlenecks of traditional ladders. These non-negotiable capabilities are required to successfully execute high-threat, multi-level structural interventions.

3. Scope of Work

Failure to meet any of these performance parameters may result in mission failure or unacceptable risks to personnel.

The BPA will cover the following three (3) core outcomes:

• Delivery of a dominant assault force: Simultaneous entry and instant stack positioning.

• Radical Reduction in Time-On-Target: Compressed timeline and mechanical speed.

• Maximum Operator Survivability: Mobile cover and reduced physical fatigue.

4. Performance Requirements for a One Single Ramp (OSR) and Rear Deployment Deck (RDD). These are the minimum requirements:

• ETS host vehicle o Brand name or equal to a 2025 or newer model Ford 550 XL

Black, Regular Cab, 7.3L V8 Gas engine with Equipment Stowage Saddle Box

6.7L V8 Turbo Diesel Upgrade 4x4 Wheel Drive o Side Deployment Rail (SDR) o Side Assault System (SAS) – (Includes two (2) sets of SAS Stringers, Trays &

Running Boards o Wireless Remote Controller (WRC)

• Mobile Adjustable Ramp System (MARS) o Dual Extendable Hydraulic Ramp Permits simultaneous, multi-story entry.

Internally stowed extension to allow for maximum reach and vehicle front-end clearance.

Capable of reaching max height with full extension in less than 10 seconds.

o Heavy Duty Construction

Aircraft grade aluminum, high strength steel and stainless-steel fasteners Anodized aluminum components (mild steel components – powder coated for corrosion and weathered resistance) Truss framing spans the vehicle (supports all components of the system) Ramp surface constructed of slip resistant traction grating exceeding US

Federal Spec RRG-16021A requirements.

o Safety Railing System

Stainless steel with sand blasted texture finish for enhanced grip Folds down or can be quickly removed to reduce overall system height for transport and low clearance needs.

o Accessory Mount Yokes

Anodized solid aluminum brackets for optional equipment to be mounted to front of internally stowed extension ramps.

o Rear Access Ladders Two (2) mounted to the rear to allow access to deck surface from the ground.

o System Removal Jacks

Four (4) removal jacks Removed from or installed onto hoist vehicle in approximately five (5) minutes.

o Multi-Angle Extension Ramp (MER)

Provide additional 48” (1.2m) of linear deck surface to the end of each extension ramp.

MAR Rear Deployment Deck (RDD) o Rear Articulating Stairway

Transforms rear staging area into a high-speed access route for evacuation and assault purpose to and from the main ramp surface.

o Saddle Box Large equipment storage enclosure to house Side Assault System (SAS).

o Crew Area Seating and Storage

Elevated Tactics System BPA Version 1.0 Page 4

Two (2) benches seating capacity up to eight (8) additional person to ride beneath the rear deck.

Underneath four (4) lockable enclosures for extra storage of gear and equipment.

o Rear Tactical Step Two-tier staircase for easier access into Crew Seating Area, Rear

Articulating Stairway and Rear Access Ladders Steps constructed from traction grating material exceeding US Federal

Spec RRG-1602A requirements

5. Contracting and Performance Period

The BPA will have a 5-year ordering period, with prices subject to escalation if required at the beginning of each ordering period. This structure allows the FBI to ensure continuous support while accounting for potential changes in pricing over the contract period.

7. Estimated Total Value

The total estimated value for the BPA is approximately $2.5 million over the 5-year ordering period.

The total estimated value for the BPA is approximately $2.5 million over the 5-year ordering period.
