- Description
- The Program Executive Office for Ground Combat Systems intends to issue a Request for Prototype Proposals (RPP) for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle System (BFVS) Under Belly Interim Solution (UBIS)Survivability Upgrade program of record under the Ground Vehicle Systems Other Transaction Agreement (GVS OTA), W15QKN-17-9-1025-RPP18-4. Ground Vehicle Systems Other Transaction Agreement (GVS OTA) W15QKN-17-9-1025 was awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2371b, Section 815 of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, P.L 114-92. The Army seeks to enhance the current BFVS by providing enhanced protection for all Soldiers operating and/or being transported to and from the battlefield while preserving the vehicle's payload, mobility, fuel efficiency, and Reliability, Availability, Maintainability-Durability (RAM-D) capabilities in order to execute required missions. The Government is seeking proposals for the design, development, integration, and delivery of a prototype Under Belly solution for the BFVS in the form of a kit. The PdM is seeking proposals from NAMC members that will provide a solution utilizing state-of-the-art technology that enhances force protection and vehicle survivability during an underbody mine blast or underbody improvised explosive device (IED). This Special Notice is for informational purposes only. A prototype project will not be awarded in response to this announcement. The purpose of this announcement is to provide members of the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC), and industry in general, advanced notification of Government intent to release the RPP to the NAMC membership. The RPP will be issued to the NAMC's Administrative Agent, the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), who will then issue the request to the NAMC.
