- Description
- The Department of Defense (DoD) requires the development of a United States (US) based PGU-48/B Manufacturing Pilot Line Prototype that will support: 1) PGU-48/B, 25x137mm, improving technology to enable a manufacturing process with less reliance on the volatile global environment. The PGU-48/B Manufacturing Pilot Line Prototype, to include capabilities and associated efforts, will provide direct benefit in terms of enhancing munition availability, considerations for system integration; opportunities to incorporate flexibility; and a pathway for achieving a qualified manufacturing status in the U.S. The application of innovative technologies in a PGU-48/B Manufacturing Pilot Line Prototype will improve supply sources by 1) addressing a supply chain vulnerability, 2) posturing the Industrial Base in meeting an Urgent Operational Need on a sole source basis, and 3) expanding the Industrial Base to achieve meaningful competition. PGU-48/B Manufacturing Pilot Line Prototype and Qualified Sources of Supply. The DoD desires to demonstrate and assess innovative technologies, which support high-performance PGUs through industrial base related means, including but not limited to, identification of alternative sources of supplies, through the implementation of innovative technological manufacturing methods and techniques. PGU-48/B Manufacturing Pilot Line Prototype Technical Performance.� The DoD desires to demonstrate and assess PGU-48/B test articles to ensure validation of test and evaluation standards to ensure performance specification of the test articles meet the specification. The end state of this OT effort are to 1) develop innovative technological manufacturing methods and techniques in establishing a PGU-48/B Manufacturing Pilot Line Prototype while also identifying alternative sources of supply within the US, 2) to successfully completed first article prototypes in a US based manufacturing facility, and 3) reimagine manufacturing processes made during the project as they relate to capability, capacity, efficiency, sources of supply, and supply chain vulnerability. This requirement is classified Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). ****Please note this is a directed sole source and solutions are not being accepted.**** Update to this notice: Dated 8 February 2022 Please note, this RFS is not associated with the Cornerstone Consortium and is being issued through a collaborative effort between Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program, Program Executive Office (PEO) for Simulation, Training, & Instrumentation (STRI) and Army Contracting Command (ACC) � Orlando. The Government will be accepting questions related to the RFS. The Government intends to provide any responses as soon as possible. Question respondents are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in the submission of questions to this RFS; all costs associated with question submissions to this RFS will be solely at the respondent�s expense. Questions to this RFS must be submitted to lindsay.r.jaime.civ@army.mil, �and Cc jaime.morrison.civ@army.mil�using Attachment 2 Vendor Questions Form. A closing date for questions will be identified in the RFS. ****Please note this is a directed sole source and solutions are not being accepted.**** Notice ID: W900KK-22-9-0021_IBAS_ARM
