The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ) on behalf of Lower Tier Project Office, is seeking proposals in regards to Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) for a Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS). This effort affords a potential Offeror the opportunity to build, test and deliver six LTAMDS Production Representative Units (PRUs) under 10 U.S. Code § 2371b, Other Transaction Authority (OTA) with the potential of a follow-on production contract for an additional quantity of up to 16 LTAMDS.

The LTAMDS Acquisition Strategy is a rapid prototyping initiative. Proposals, to include classified annexes and additional artifacts, are to be submitted under this LTAMDS PPON. The Selecting Official will select the proposal that presents the best value to the Government based on an integrated assessment of the evaluation results. This competitive OTA acquisition will result in a Firm-Fixed-Price award to a single Offeror. The anticipated period of performance for this project is three years estimated to begin September 2019 through September 2022.

An LTAMDS OTA award will be made to the best overall approach that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government. Performance will require access to classified and otherwise controlled data and possession of a U.S. facilities clearance. An Offeror will be required to demonstrate its capability to access, receive, store, and safeguard the data required to execute the program.

In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2371b (f), and upon a determination that the prototype project (or any subsequent iterative prototyping efforts) was successfully completed under the competitively awarded OTA(s), a follow-on production contract(s) or OTA(s) may be awarded without the use of competitive procedures. Follow-on production contract will be for an additional quantity of up to 16 LTAMDS upon successful completion of a successful prototype.

Copies of the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) solicitation are only available from the Agreement Officer (AO) listed in the PPON document. It is the Offeror's responsibility to remain cognizant of further requests or amendments to this solicitation after the LTAMDS PPON is released at FedBizOpps (https://www.fbo.gov/). To obtain a copy of LTAMDS Performance Specification (P-Spec) and controlled documents, interested parties must email the Agreements Officer/Specialist the following completed documents which are attached to the PPON:

DD Form 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement
AMSTA AR Form 1350 Technical Data Questionnaire
Non-Disclosure/Non-Use Agreement
