About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal seeks manufacture and delivery of four variants of the S-280C/G Vehicle Mounted Shelter under a five-year, Firm-Fixed-Price IDIQ contract, with proposals due October 30, 2026 at 3:30 PM Eastern Time. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside restricted to firms with 750 employees or fewer (NAICS 332311).
Place of performance includes CONUS locations (75%, planning address Sierra Army Depot, Herlong, California) and OCONUS locations (25%, including Germany, Korea, and Japan), with FOB Destination delivery. Manufacturing must comply strictly with the Government-owned Technical Data Package and ASTM E1975-22. First Article Testing (FAT) is mandatory; no waivers are available. The scope includes FAT with three production-representative test units, production across five one-year ordering periods, and delivery of all associated technical and logistics data including technical publications, maintenance allocation charts, provisioning parts lists, and engineering data for provisioning. The contractor must not exceed a sustained production rate of 20 shelters per month unless mutually agreed in writing; delivery timelines require FAT and test unit completion within 240 calendar days after order, followed by production deliveries within 90–120 calendar days after order.
The minimum guaranteed contract value is $100,000; maximum ceiling is $4 million. National Stock Numbers are 5411-01-304-3069 (Shielded) and 5411-01-092-0892 (Unshielded).
Technical evaluation comprises two equally weighted factors: Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding Design demonstrating ASTM E1975-22 compliance, and Manufacturing Processes including fabrication methods, facility capacity, and supply chain management. Price is of approximately equal importance to technical factors. Award will be made under FAR Part 15 tradeoff source selection to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents best value.
The Technical Data Package is Export-Controlled (Distribution Statement C); access requires current DD Form 2345 certification from the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office. Amendment 0003, issued October 20, mandates FAT and removes all previous waiver provisions. Questions were due September 24; proposals must acknowledge receipt of all three amendments (0001, 0002, 0003) prior to closing.
