A.1 The Army Contracting Command - New jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of Precision Fires Rocket and Missiles Systems (PFRMS) Project Office, has a requirement for the Production of M270A1 Improved Armored Cab (IAC) for the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Kits (hereafter referred to as IAC Modification Kit) for the Army.

The MLRS requires system updates to remain viable and supportable after thirty years of being in service. Recent developmental efforts to accomplish this objective are concluding, leading to this acquisition plan for production of a major update to the system - the IAC Modification Kits.

The IAC Modification Kits provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with an increased level of crew protection by replacing the armor surrounding the crew to meet ballistic protection requirements, provide blast protection seating, enhances the transparent armor and reduces training requirements for the crews by providing more commonality between the MLRS and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).

A.2 The United States Government (USG) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Base Year plus Four (4) one (1) Year Option Periods contract to cover FY17-FY21 Army IAC Modification Kits First Article Testing and production of IAC Modification Kits and Associated Spare Parts Kits. The contract will have a Period of Performance of five (5) years with a potential of $970.3 M for IAC Modification Kits and Associated Spare Parts.

A.3 As part of the solicitation process the Government will make available the Technical Data package (TDP) for the IAC Modification Kits and Associated Spares Parts in Adobe Portable Document Format.
