STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

RAPID ACQUISITION OF PRODUCTS, STUDIES & DEMOS

(AGILE ACQUISITION STRATEGIC SOURCING IDIQ)

1.0 SCOPE. This Agile Acquisition Strategic Sourcing Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (AASS IDIQ) contract will provide a vehicle for Eglin armament customers to execute non-program of record efforts related to the armament mission. The scope of this contract is expected to include weapon/capability studies, demonstration of weapon capabilities, production reports and various ancillary products associated with existing systems and/or new systems. We anticipate this action will be awarded to multiple large businesses, and up to three small businesses with a base year and four option years and a total value not to exceed $490,000,000.

1.1 Background. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for design, engineering development, fabrication, demonstrations, studies, test of prototypes, hardware/software modification, data collections and/or analysis in support of demonstrations, development, proof of concept demonstrations and Quick Reactionary Capability (QRC) programs. This may include demonstrations of existing or modified systems and technologies, to determine and/or validate systems capabilities. This may also encompass possible QRC’s, surge activities, short lead-time objectives for existing or non-existing weapons. Additional work could be required from the associated program management, human engineering, and logistic support planning requirements.

1.2 Objective. The primary objective of this contract is to provide rapid response, surge capacity and flexibility to meet the short lead-time, system development, rapid prototyping, demonstrations, hardware mods, proof of concept demonstrations, and system integration efforts. This AASS IDIQ will serve as a contract vehicle to support short-term systems development efforts to satisfy warfighter needs efficiently and expeditiously.
