- Synopsis: The Army Contracting Command - Redstone, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama 35898 on behalf of the Precision Fires Rocket and Missile Systems (PFRMS) Project Office, Program Executive Office Missiles and Space, hereby issues the following Sources Sought/Request for Information (RFI) to ascertain the level of interest of potential vendors desiring to contract for production of the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) Guided Missile and Launching Assembly (GMLA) Service Life Extension Program (SLEP). This amends the previous RFI concerning the ATACMS GMLA SLEP, issued on 22 April 2015. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY - This RFI is released pursuant to FAR 15.201(e). It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Respondees are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested parties' expense. In the past, this requirement has been restricted to Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (LMMFC), Dallas, TX CAGE 64059 under the basis of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition 10.U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1 "Only One Responsible Source and No other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirement" since LMMFC has been the only known source that has the unique test equipment required to test ATACMS GMLAs and the expertise necessary to perform required maintenance and repair services. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. All offerors must meet prequalification requirements in order to be eligible for award. Requirement Statement: The Government seeks white papers regarding the capabilities, past similar experience and technical approach to this production effort and industry's assessment/opinion of the most efficient and cost effective method of executing this effort. The response should include: (1) a description of manufacturing capabilities that supports a SLEP for the ATACMS GMLA, (2) evidence of past similar experience and how it supports the SLEP, (3) an attached tier one schedule (Microsoft Project) showing the timing of events from contract award to delivery of the first ATACMS GMLA to the U.S. Government, and (4) a recommended facility and supply chain partners with available capacity for this SLEP effort beginning in Year 1. Industry is also encouraged to describe the benefits or risks associated with inclusion of production options and recommendations on contracting approaches that provide a best value to the Government while minimizing risk (especially cost risk) to the selected contractor. The maximum quantity projections for the ATACMS Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) production: Year 1 - QTY 200 Year 2 - QTY 200 Year 3 - QTY 200 Year 4 - QTY 200 Year 5 - QTY 200 Additional supporting efforts will include spares, obsolescence, modifications, and integrated logistics support. RFI Purpose and Limitations: The Government's intent is to better understand the current, state-of-the-art capabilities and strategies to determine the best solution. Industry feedback is vitally important and the Government will be receptive to any and all ideas. Proprietary information is neither solicited nor prohibited; however, if submitted, it should be appropriately marked. Please limit formal white paper submissions to no more than 20 pages, to include cover letter. In addition five attachments consisting of briefing slides, pre-printed commercial brochures or sales literature may be included. Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged. All items must be in Microsoft Office 2003 (or later) format or Adobe PDF format and should be free of all computer viruses. The information provided may be used by the Army in developing its acquisition strategy and in its Statement of Work/Statement of Objectives or Performance Specifications. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of any potential offeror to monitor FedBizOpps for additional information pertaining to this requirement. Multiple awards may be pursued depending on industry response. All questions and industry responses shall be submitted via email to Army Contracting Command-Redstone, Christy Reed, Contract Specialist, email address: christy.l.reed.civ@mail.mil. Responses must be received no later than 22 December 2015 and be in compliance with all applicable Army, DoD and Federal policies. All material submitted in response to this RFI must be unclassified and properly marked. Submissions will not be returned.
