Stryker Family of Vehicles (FoV)

Company Commander’s Integration Kit (CCIK) & RETRANS Installation Kit

1. PROGRAM: PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE STRYKER BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM

(PMO SBCT)

2. SUBJECT:

Market Research on Hardware-Only Production of the Stryker CCIK and RETRANS Installation Kit.

3. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION:

A. The Stryker Family of Vehicles (FoV) was developed from the commercially designed Light Armor Vehicle (LAV) III platform. As a result, the Government does not own or possess the complete Technical Data Package (TDP) with unlimited rights for the Stryker platform, associated components, CCIK and RETRANS Installation Kit.

General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) retains the proprietary data rights for these designs.

B. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to conduct market research to determine if any sources, other than GDLS, have the capability to manufacture and deliver these specific hardware kits to be fully form, fit, and function interchangeable with the original equipment, without access to the proprietary technical data. This research is conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10, and its results will be utilized to inform the Government's acquisition strategy.

4. INFORMATION SOUGHT AND RFI SCOPE:

A. DISCLAIMER: This is an RFI for market research purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue a RFP in the future.

Responses to this RFI are voluntary and the Government will not pay for any information submitted or for any costs incurred by respondents. All information submitted becomes Government property and will not be returned. Respondents will not be notified of the results of this RFI or provided with detailed feedback.

B. POTENTIAL REQUIREMENT: The Government is seeking information on industry's capability to produce the following two (2) hardware installation kits.

I. Kit Name Part Number Capability Description

a. CCIK LS1092445: Upgrades a standard Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICVV) to the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) capability level of a Commander's Vehicle (CVV).
