- Description
- This notice of award serves as a synopsis as required by FAR 5.301. The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Redstone (ACC-R), Redstone Arsenal, AL, 35898, awarded a two year sole source Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract�to Textron Systems (TS), 124 Industry Lane, Hunt Valley, MD, 21030-3342, CAGE Code 97384, for a maximum of 346,000 engineering and technical service labor hours and associated material, travel, and other direct costs that are required to support the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, Aviation and Missile Center (CCDC AvMC); Software, Simulation, Systems Engineering and Integration (S3I) Directorate, Joint Systems Integration Laboratory (JSIL) with Research, Development, Integration, Experimentation, Test and Evaluation and Operation of TS RQ-7 Shadow Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and its derivatives including associated subsystems and support equipment. Sole source award will be made under the authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B) � ""For DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s requirements."" TS is the sole source Prime Item Developer and Systems Integrator of these UASs� systems and subsystems, making them uniquely qualified to provide the highly specialized services required to accomplish research, development, integration, test, sustainment, and operation activities relating to TS UASs. The primary place of performance is S3I Directorate�s JSIL located on Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898. The work to be performed under this contract is considered experimental in nature for which there is no established test and evaluation plan at this time. The purpose of this contract is to gain an understanding of the technical challenges associated with initial technology integration involving TS UASs and, in particular, the RQ-7 Shadow and other TS UAS products and the Universal Ground Control Station (UGCS) weapon system, as well as to support the establishment of performance baseline for those technologies that are successfully integrated. The contractor will perform engineering and technical services required to support the S3I Directorate and its customers in the development, integration and operational employment of all versions of the RQ-7 Shadow UAS and all its support equipment. Capabilities include modeling, simulation and training systems and modules in support to the systems, processes, capabilities and integrated joint, components and allied tactics, techniques and procedures. The contractor shall provide engineering and technical services required to install, operate, disseminate payload products, maintain, and integrate new technical capabilities, obsolescence, interoperability and Post Production Software Sustainment (PPSS). Tasks involve support of the UAS RQ-7 Shadow and all support equipment to include the UGCS, Universal Ground Data Terminal (UGDT), and One System Remote Video Terminal (OSRVT). The required period of performance is 24 months with performance up to the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information level. This acquisition supports the mission of the Army Futures Command and its subordinate Army CCDC AvMC in integrating the future operational environment threat and technologies to develop and deliver future force requirements, designing future force organization and delivering material capabilities.
