These businesses expressed interest, however they both chose to not quote because they felt that they could not meet the requirements of the Performance Work Statement. Specifically, vendors stated their targets would not be able to withstand a heavy fire of 50 caliber rounds without failing. Another vendor stated that the scale was beyond their capabilities, and one more simply stated that their robotics would not meet the Government's requirements.
