The Armor Hardware consists of Gunner Protection Panels and Kits (e.g. Objective Gunner Protection Kits (OGPK)) that includes mechanical, electrical and electromechanical components such as cables, gunner accessory package (GAP), turret drive motors, controllers and transparent armor. The turret system consists of hatch assembly, slew bearing and gear ring for tactical vehicles, interfacing with Gunner Protection Kits. The PIKs provide the unique mechanical and electrical interfaces to integrate Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) to a variety of U.S. Government (USG) platforms.

This Solicitation/RFP is issued as a 100% set aside for Small Business. The Government intends to make up to three (3) awards as the result of the Solicitation. Each of the awarded contract(s), up to three (3), will include five (5) one (1) year ordering periods and will contain priced quantity ranges to cover Armor Hardware, Turret Systems and PIKs requirements. In the event more than one (1) award is made, subsequent delivery orders shall be competed utilizing best value techniques ensuring Fair Opportunity is given, as prescribed in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) FAR 16.505(b).

Technical Data Packages. The Government will make available the Technical Data Packages (TDP) for the Objective Gunner Protection Kits, Combat Vehicle Turret Assembly, and Vehicle Integration Kits in Adobe Portable Document Format which will be electronically transmitted. As future needs for the Armor Hardware, Turret Systems and PIKs are identified during the five (5) years of the contract(s), Firm Fixed Price (FFP) delivery orders will be competed among the Offerors who have been awarded IDIQ base contracts.

Request for Technical Data Packages. The Objective Gunner Protection Kits and Vehicle Integration Kits TDPs are categorized as Distribution D.
