Proposed Acquisition Strategy

CUI

CUI

Note: The USG is exploring various potential acquisition strategies and contract structures and requests any industry feedback or recommendations it would like to provide to inform this process Tentatively planning on RFP issuance 3rd Quarter FY25 with award during CY25.

Establish lower costs and gain improved visibility of costs while improving the facility with no long-term products directly work loaded to the facility, and product bearing the cost of the facility.

The USG is contemplating directly funding the performance work statement (PWS) costs for the first 2 years of the potential contract to allow the contractor to establish market share. Future cost for facility operations will be indirectly funded via its inclusion in the product unit prices in accordance with DoDI 5160.68, Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition (SMCA) and Army Regulation (AR) 700-90, Army Industrial Base Process.

Ensure long-term, cost-effective maintenance and sustainment of production capabilities.

Small Business Set Aside (SBSA), best value competition, limited to the United States.

Modernization projects may be included in the RFP.

Duration (contemplated): up to 20 years FY26-FY46 Base Contract: 5-years Option 1: 5-years Option 2: 10-years Acquisition Strategy Overview

CUI

CUI

The following Performance Work Statement (PWS) strategy is under consideration, and feedback is desired from industry:

Direct: Government is contemplating the direct funding of all PWSs for years 1-2 of the contract. Government is contemplating a cost-reimbursable, no-fee contract type.

Indirect: Beginning in year 3 of the contract, the contractor should perform the PWSs at no direct cost to the Government (i.e., borne by product orders/business that it receives).

JMC – RIAG – JPEO A&A Service Agreement: RIAG would provide base operations support/common levels of support (CLS) to the facility; JPEO A&A fund the CLS.

In consideration for exclusive use of the QCCCF facility, the operating contractor would provide property management support, with the Government requirements in the form of a PWS.
