1. Opportunity Overview: The Government hereby releases its Formal Request for Prototype Proposal to all interested parties. Please refer to the information within this Agreement Officer Letter and within the Program Solicitation to ensure all Offerors receive the RPP Package in a timely manner and proposals are compliant.

Proposals shall be submitted to the Government IAW the instructions within the Program Solicitation.

2. Prototype Project Detail

a. Authority: 10 U.S.C. § 4022 (formerly 2371b), “Authority of the Department of Defense to Carry Out Certain Prototype Projects”. The proposal shall comply fully with the requirements outlined in the RPP Package and all other associated enclosures with this letter.

b. Project Background & Current Capability: The E2 prototyping effort will deliver a global track access system to contain raids of advanced hypersonic and ballistic missiles. E2 builds upon Epoch 1 (E1) through spiral development to meet Capability Development Document requirements. E2 will demonstrate the ability to integrate with a coordinated enterprise which receives taskings from the Joint Overhead Persistent Infrared (IR) (OPIR) Planning Center (JOPC), executes those taskings through sensor collections and delivers missile tracks back to the enterprise.

c. Anticipated Number of Awards: The Government intends to award up to two (2) FFP Agreements; no more than one Agreement will be awarded to a sole Prime Offeror, i.e., only one Agreement Award per Offeror.

The Government reserves the right to award fewer Agreements than anticipated, fewer planes than anticipated, or award to none. Partial responses will be considered as non-compliant and will not be evaluated and will be deemed unawardable. The Government reserves the right to stagger awards as a result of this competition, by placing the identified Offeror into the Identified Potential Alternate (IPA) Pool for potential award at a later date.
