NAICS: 334419 – Other Electronic Component Manufacturing

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities and Development Command (DEVCOM), Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC), Software, Simulation, Systems Engineering & Integration (S3I) Directorate intends to establish a multi-vendor Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for the future competitive acquisition of commercial equipment, hardware, and software on a Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) basis within a 60-mile radius of Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The S3I is a center of technical excellence to Service-specific and Joint Service technologies and programs throughout the Department of Defense (DoD) and Other Government Agencies (OGAs). The S3I provides a Government test bed for emerging concepts experimentation; architecture development and refinement; rapid prototyping; technology insertion and transition; multi-service weapon system interoperability, systems engineering and integration;

modeling/simulation; training; test and evaluation; and Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) optimization in support of Combat Developers, Materiel Developers, Warfighters and other customers including requirements supporting Foreign Military Sales (FMS). The proposed CITES BPA will support the S3I and its customers, Army and Other Services’ Program Managers, Program Executive Offices, and Other Government Agencies (OGAs) across the lifecycle of supported weapon systems and technology development and integration efforts. The proposed CITES BPA is used to support Government-direct acquisition of equipment required to accomplish the S3I mission. The CITES BPA is just one acquisition strategy available to the Government for acquiring material needed to accomplish its mission. The Government may also elect to acquire material through services contracts that is the culmination of material adaptation and modification that provides the Government with a turn-key technical solution.

The Government is seeking a centralized vehicle, which offers a wide array of commercial computer hardware and software products, electronic/electrical products, communications equipment, and other equipment required to support the S3I mission and customers that may be used in developing, acquiring, and sustaining new technical capabilities through the integrated use of these products and to fulfill customer requirements. These products are often specialized configurations of commercial information technology equipment, electronic/electrical products and communications equipment required to meet RDT&E, Procurement, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) and FMS funded applications. This range of products and capabilities will include computer hardware, software and licenses, maintenance; electrical/electronic equipment and components; electro-mechanical equipment and components;

communications equipment; web-based information technology acquisition statusing systems; general and specialized support equipment required to accomplish the S3I technical mission and information technology conferencing. Purchases under the BPA’s shall be limited to the following Federal Supply Classes:
