Ground Soldier Technology Workflow, Integration, and eXperience (GS-TWIX)

Pre-Solicitation Notice 

The US. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground-Natick Division, on behalf of the Mission Information Team, SED, DEVCOM Soldier Center, intends to post a Solicitation for engineering type services in Ground Soldier Technology Workflow, Integration, and eXperience (GS-TWIX) to develop ground Soldier-centric information technology across the hardware, software, network, and data spectrum as well as to optimize the ground Soldier’s ability to shoot, move and communicate according to the Army Modernization Priorities. GS-TWIX will impact multiple DEVCOM Soldier Center efforts and collaborations including Sensored Soldier, Nett Warrior, Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), Soldier Integration Facility (SIF), Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO) Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CBRND), OUSD Research and Engineering (R&E) 5G Tactical Applications for Small Units in Distributed Operations (5GTA-SUDO). GS-TWIX specifically seeks to design, develop, and analyze solutions associated with small unit ground Soldier systems and devices as they impact Soldier sub-systems integration, Soldier workflow, and Soldier experience. Historically, Small Unit systems were electronic in nature. Currently, Small Unit systems span the mechanical, electrical, software, network, and data engineering spectrum. Furthermore, the operational space for these solutions is also diverse covering warfighter functions spanning lethality, maneuver, communications, logistics, and protection.

The Government intends to post a Total-Small Business Set-Aside Solicitation, based on Market Research conducted by the Government.  The NAICS code is 541512 with a small business standard size of $27,500,000. Period of performance expected is base year plus three optional years.  A formal subjective tradeoff solicitation is expected sometime around July 22, 2022. NOTE - this is not a request for proposals at this time.
