- Description
- The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Contracts Management Office (CMO), intends to award a sole source contract to, Carnegie Robotics, LLC, 4501 Hatfield St, Pittsburgh, PA 15201, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1). The proposed procurement is for the continued development, delivery, and support of an autonomous fleet of vehicles in the DARPA Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency (RACER) program. Carnegie Robotics, LLC (CRL) developed autonomous capable off-road vehicle on a Polaris RZR chassis. The development of these lightweight tactical all-terrain vehicle (LTATVs) included hardware architecture, on-board computing, vehicle system communications, and autonomy sensors is a program critical platform for the RACER program. The RACER program needs a fleet of these autonomous capable vehicles in order to have the performer teams properly test their algorithms in manners that will push the limits of their ability. This manner of testing will cause some vehicles to be damaged and be unusable for periods of time. For the duration of the program CRL will provide fleet support and maintenance to all RACER LTATVs and APD vehicles during government field tests. CRL will also provide upgrades and modifications to the RACER fleet of vehicles based off of performance and feedback from RACER performers. These upgrades and modifications would be items such as safety upgrades, actuator performance modifications, and sensor swaps.� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is currently available. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement See DARPA-SN-21-53 ""Sole Source Notice for TTO RACER PROGRAM""
