A.1 The purpose of this solicitation is to fulfill a Government requirement for Armor Hardware, Turret Systems, and Platform Integration

Kits (PIKs) consisting of hardware kits to support integration of crew served weapons on vehicle platforms. The Armor Hardware consists of Gunner Protection Panels and Kits (e.g. Objective Gunner Protection Kits (OGPK)) that includes mechanical, electrical and electromechanical components such as cables, gunner accessory package (GAP), turret drive motors, controllers and transparent armor. The turret system consists of hatch assembly, slew bearing and gear ring for tactical vehicles, interfacing with Gunner Protection Kits. The

PIKs provide the unique mechanical and electrical interfaces to integrate Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) to a variety of U.S. Government

(USG) platforms.

Offeror and any of its major subcontractors within the past three(3) years, or awarded earlier than three (3) years ago, but for which deliveries/performance occurred or were scheduled to occur within the past three (3) years, which are relevant to the effort required by the solicitation. Data concerning the prime Offeror shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor, in alphabetical order.

Information and Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and Electronic

Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS). The Government may use past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offerors.
