About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command, Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground issued a Special Notice on August 9, 2023, announcing its intent to pursue a sole-source contract modification with Cummins Power Generators Inc. under the authority of FAR 6.302-2 for unusual and compelling urgency. The notice pertains to the procurement of Advanced Medium Mobile Power Source (AMMPS) generators, which are specialized, medium-sized JP-8 fueled power generation systems designed to supply electricity to military systems in operational environments without access to fixed electrical infrastructure. This modification will increase the ceiling and extend the period of performance on the existing IDIQ contract W909MY-18-D-0033. The AMMPS generators are critical pieces of equipment utilized across the Army and other Department of Defense services to support national security objectives and enhance warfighter operational capability.
The objective of this procurement is to obtain AMMPS Generator Sets ranging from 5 to 60 kilowatts in capacity, capable of operating at dual frequency ratings of 50/60 and 400 Hz, along with associated interface kits, switch boxes, and trailers. The Army requires these generators to power and support digital systems across multiple operational domains including Network/C3I, Air and Missile Defense, Long Range Precision Fires, and Command Post and Combat Support systems. The original deadline for capability statement responses was July 11, 2023, with required delivery by July 26, 2023, indicating the time-sensitive nature of this requirement. Prospective contractors, particularly small businesses, must demonstrate prior experience with AMMPS or comparable generator systems and must commit to performing over 50 percent of the work in-house while adhering to subcontracting limitations. Notably, respondents are not required to submit to first article testing or establish new production lines, streamlining the qualification process for this urgent procurement need.
