Amendment #1 to Request for Information (RFI)

For

Project Manager, Short and Intermediate Effectors for Layered Defense (SHIELD) Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2)

Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and Full Rate Production (FRP)

Amendment #1 provides the following responses to questions received:

1. With regard to Synopsis item #5: “Outline the technical and production solutions, to include an estimate of schedule and associated cost required to execute the production and delivery of the LRIP units for this anticipated procurement.” Is the “associated cost” intended to reflect the unit pricing only, transition to production only, or all and any costs required for the contractor to contractually deliver the requested quantities?

Response: Any and all costs required for the contractor to contractually deliver the requested quantities, to include unit costs and transition to production costs. Provide as much cost information to justify the proposed solution.

2. Given the major US holiday during this RFI timeline as well as the need for the above clarification to support the ROM, we would respectfully request a three-week extension, from 09 June 2023 submittal to 30 June 2023 submittal. We thank you in advance for your consideration of this request and look forward to submitting our response.

Response: The U.S. Government agrees to extend the response time for the RFI to 2:00 pm CDT on 16 June 2023.
