SPECIAL NOTICE

Subject: Industry Engagement – Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (CAML) Strategy Overview

1. Purpose

This notice announces an industry engagement session to provide a programmatic overview of the Government's acquisition strategy for CAML. This is not a Request for Information, Sources Sought, or Request for Solutions Brief. This session is being held to explain the rationale behind recent changes and clarify the relationship between prior and current CAML efforts. It is not a forum for discussion of the specifics of the currently open Request for Solutions Brief (RFSB) W50RAJ269A014 – Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (CAML) Autonomous Mobility Platform (AMP) - Prototype - 36K Lbs. Variant, Leader Prototype, Autonomy Command and Control (C2) and Integration Request for Solutions Brief. Questions specific to RFSB W50RAJ269A014, its evaluation criteria, or an individual offeror's submission will not be addressed during this session, whether live or in writing.

2. Background

The Government previously released an RFSB soliciting a heavy and medium variant under W50RAJ25CAMLRFSB. That solicitation has since been canceled, and no prior submissions, evaluations, or engagement under that solicitation carry forward to any current or future CAML effort. The Government separately released an RFSB for the CAML Autonomous Mobility Platform (AMP) 60k lbs, W50RAJ269A003. The Government has since released a new RFSB, W50RAJ269A014, for an AMP 36k lbs variant. This series of changes has caused confusion among industry partners regarding the relationship between the previously solicited heavy and medium variants, the AMP 60k lbs effort, and the current AMP 36k lbs variant solicitation. The Army wishes to level-set expectations on these points and encourage continued industry participation in the program.

3. Session Format

This will be an informational briefing. This session does not constitute discussions, negotiations, or an opportunity to revise or clarify any proposal. Questions may be submitted via the Teams chat during the session. A Government monitor will review submitted questions in real time and, at the Government's sole discretion, may address appropriate and timely questions live, other than questions specific to RFSB W50RAJ269A014 as described in Section 1. Any questions not answered live, along with any questions submitted in writing, will be reviewed after the session and answered in writing as part of the consolidated Q&A described in Section 6.
