About this program
The Remote Minehunting System (RMS) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) operating under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The program is designated as an Acquisition Category ID program, indicating it meets the highest dollar threshold for defense programs and is managed at the Department of Defense level. While the program name suggests mine detection capabilities, the available contract data indicates a broader scope encompassing robotic systems and associated support equipment.
The contract awards associated with RMS range from small purchase orders of a few thousand dollars to definitive contracts exceeding $7.8 million, with most awards using Firm Fixed Price pricing arrangements. Major acquisitions include PackBot unmanned ground vehicle production supplies, combat engineering equipment, and battlefield mobility systems. Key contractors include Alvarez LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business providing technology solutions through the Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) IV contract vehicle, and Pearson Engineering LIMITED, a foreign contractor supplying combat engineering equipment. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Warren (ACC-Warren) appears as a primary contracting authority, with contract performance periods typically ranging from several months to two years. None of the reviewed contracts utilized small business set-asides, though some contractors, like Alvarez LLC, maintain preferred business status.
