SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE

1. PROGRAM: PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE STRYKER BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM (PMO SBCT)

2. SUBJECT: MARKET RESEARCH FOR THE STRYKER FAMILY OF VEHICLES (FOV) LIFECYCLE REQUIREMENTS IN THE AREA OF LOGISTICS, which covers transportation, supply and maintenance. Sources sought information for Logistics will cover seven aspects : (1) New Equipment Training (NET); (2) Fielding; (3) Wholesale Supply Support; (4) Sustainment; (5) Retrofit; (6) Refurbishment & Reset; and (7) Weld Readiness and Repair.

This sources sought notice is an initial assessment of interest from industry. A more detailed notice will follow at a later date based upon the interest each individual effort receives.

3. DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND:

The Stryker FoV and support contract was originally awarded on 16 November 2000 to General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) on a competitive basis to accomplish PM SBCT’s mission. Since the Stryker was based on an existing vehicle system design (Light Armor Vehicle or LAV Ill) that was developed at private expense, Section 2320(a)(2)(F)(i), Title 10, United States Code precludes the Army from making release or sale of proprietary technical data a condition of contracting with the Government.

PMO SBCT continuously conducts market research in accordance with FAR 10.002(b)(2) to determine whether other capabilities of industry can be used to fulfill its life cycle requirements and to ensure its acquisition methods obtain the best value for the Government. This market survey is part of an ongoing initiative with industry to better understand the current capabilities that may be of interest to PMO SBCT. It is anticipated that the United States Government (USG) will award five-year follow on contracts for its Logistics requirements for FYs 24-28. The purpose of this request for information (RFI) is to determine the potential market capabilities to perform the follow-on requirements for the below FY19-23 Stryker Requirements Contracts currently performed by General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS). Several of the below efforts currently fall within the same contracts; however are being researched independently in the event portions can be segregated for competition.
