This document contains questions and responses from an Industry Day held by the Army regarding the Integrated Fires and Mission Command (IFMC) Low Rate Initial Production/Full Rate Production (LRIP/FRP) requirement. The major supplies and services to be acquired under the IFMC LRIP/FRP requirement include production and integration of the IFMC major end items of Engagement Operations Centers, Engagement Center Trailer, IFMC Collaborative Environment, and Integrated Fire Control Network Relays. Engineering services for IFMC, contractor logistics support, travel and material, as well as foreign military sales support will also be required. The anticipated contract type is a full and open competition resulting in a single award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract.

The Industry Day provided an overview of the IFMC program, hardware architecture, LRIP/FRP requirements, entrance criteria, draft acquisition strategy and evaluation criteria. Questions from industry were addressed in the document pertaining to technical, contractual and programmatic aspects of the requirement. Registration was required by February 21, 2020 to attend the briefing and optional hardware tour being held on March 3, 2020 at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.

Currently, the AIAMD architecture includes components from the Patriot Force and the Sentinel Radar. This includes Sentinel Radar, Patriot Radar, RIU, and M901/M902/M903 launchers. Equipment integrated in the future are pending Government approval and are beyond what is being assessed.
2	SOW	Reference Paragraph 5.1.b of the Draft SOW. Is there a list of end items that are to be interoperable with all other IBCS SOS?	Currently, the AIAMD architecture includes components from the Patriot Force and the Sentinel Radar. This includes Sentinel Radar, Patriot Radar, RIU, M901, M902 and M903 launchers. Equipment integrated in the future are pending Government approval and are beyond what is being assessed.
3	SOW	Reference Paragraph 5.1.a of the Draft SOW. Is there an attachment 1&2 to the Draft RFP?	Yes. Attachments will be provided to those vendors that meet the Entrance Criteria.
4	TDP	When will the IBCS TDP be published?	Upon release of the RFP to those vendors that meet the Entrance Criteria and consistent with the Contracting effort schedule.
5	GFP	Is there a list of GFE to be published?	Yes. GFE/GFP list will be released as part of the RFP to those vendors that meet the Entrance Criteria and consistent with the Contracting effort schedule.
6	SOW	Reference paragraph 5.8.8.3 of the Draft SOW. Where is the G-SIL located?	The current Government Simulation and integration Lab (G-SIL) is located on Redstone Arsenal at building 6272.

9	SOW	Will the SOW incorporate scope for NET, Logistics, IETM Support and Sparing?	Yes.
10	Tech Maturity	Does the USG seek for the 3 components to be redesigned to have the designed/manufactured for cut into manufacturing and fielded with first battalion fielding?	Yes, if cutting in the redesign into the manufacturing process sufficiently supports the required delivery dates and system performance.
11	Award	Is the final award single source?	Yes. This will be a Single Award IDIQ contract.
12	Technical	Is the assumption that the three tech changes (i.e., CASS-PDRS & JTT) already be integrated with the IBCS SW correct? Will it have already completed DT with the IBCS SW?	Yes. It is expected that SW will be previously tested and evaluated prior to integration into/onto the EOC.
13	Award	Are you looking for range pricing?	Yes.
14	Evaluation Criteria	How many past performances are required?	The quantity will be provided in the RFP.
15	SOW	Is any of the HW being fielded to the Institution Base?	Yes, Institutional Base HW will be identified and specified IAW a delivery order/task order.

22	Technical	Will the SW go thru some testing prior to the delivery to ensure the 3 HW changes proposed in the evaluation will work with the SW version delivered by the Government?	Yes. It is expected that SW will be previously tested and evaluated prior to integration into/onto the EOC and Relay.
23	SOW	Can the sing-in sheet be distributed to the attendees?	Yes. It will be posted in Beta.sam with the Industry Day Charts.
24	Award	Will the TDP be frozen?	Yes, during the evaulation period the TDP will be frozen to accommodate a standard basis by which to evaluate vendors. Once the award is made, the TDP will no longer be frozen due to Engineering Change Proposals being anticipated.
25	Industry Day Charts	The posted brief file from last Tuesday’s Industry Day event and noticed that the original dates for “Contractor Deliver Entrance Criteria” and “Gov’t Approve Contractor Eligible” events are lined out with suspense dates TBD.
