DRAFT RFP

Executive Summary for SOM (FedBizOpps)

The Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Contracting Center, Edgewood Contracting Division, APG, MD, APG-EA, in support of the Joint Project Manager, Nuclear Biological Chemical Contamination Avoidance (NBC CA) is issuing a Draft Request For Proposal (DRFP), seeking entities with the capability to design, develop, fabricate, install, test and produce Screening Obscuration Modules (SOMs).

The Army needs a generated, visual obscuration screening capability which can be employed in both a mounted – configuration (combat vehicles) and a dismounted configuration (ground emplaced) to provide a medium-area visual to near infrared screening capability. The SOM will replace traditional smoke pots that have safety and performance limitations. The safety limitations associated with smoke pots include the following: flame hazard due to pyrotechnic technology and the inability to start and stop obscurant dissemination on demand. The performance limitations associated with smoke pots include the inability to achieve desired obscurant cloud dimensions, to mount safely on combat vehicles, and to reuse for more than one mission.

This generated obscuration system, i.e., the SOM, shall have the capability to generate and sustain obscuration, creating an obscuration screen to degrade observation and detection during ground and aerial reconnaissance and attack.

Contract requirements are for the continued Technical Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase as well as five

(5) options to produce a total of one hundred thirty-six (136) SOM systems over the five year option period.

This Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) is not a solicitation but is issued as an acquisition planning tool and as a means of soliciting industry comments for use in developing a future formal solicitation. No proposal is required, and no contract will be awarded as a result of this draft solicitation.

It is anticipated this requirement will be offered as non-commercial full and open competition solicitation under FAR 15. The NAICS code for this effort is 541712, with a size standard of 500 employees. Prospective Offerors are invited to:

1. Comment on all aspects of the draft solicitation, including requirements, schedules, proposal instructions, and evaluation approaches;

2. Identify unnecessary or inefficient requirements;

3. Identify voluntary consensus standards that meet the Governments requirements as alternatives to

Government unique standards cited as requirements, in accordance with FAR 11.101, except where inconsistent with law or otherwise impractical.

A summary of the disposition of DRFP comments/questions will be included with the FBO publication of the final RFP. Any proprietary information submitted should be identified as Company Proprietary. Do not use Government Security Classification markings. Any information provided to the U.S. Government in response to this DRFP is for planning purposes only and will not be used as a selection consideration in any U.S. Government contract competition. Should the U.S. Government elect to pursue the subject requirement, an official Request for Proposal will be released at a later date in accordance with FAR Part 15.

All written responses to this DRFP must be received within 15 days of posting this notice. Please address responses to; Alex Schupp at; alex.m.schupp.civ@mail.mil. Please designate a company point of contact (telephone, address, and email) and business size. Preferred media for your response to this notice is electronic (i.e. Microsoft Word, Portable Document Format, MS Power Point) via e-mail submission.
