- Description
- Purpose� SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM, U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC), the United States Navy, and the Accelerator for Innovative Minds (AIM), will host a Virtual Assessment Event (AE) leveraging their hybrid accelerator model to develop a proof of concept for an advanced manufacturing mobile workstation. This event will provide opportunities for direct dialogue with Warfighters, and Government Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to lower the barrier to working with the DoD and accelerate disruptive technologies and processing to the field. Objective The objective is to design, manufacture, and test three mobile workstations that facilitate the transportation of at least four personnel and six server storage racks (42 Rack Units 19�x32�), workbenches, alternate access into the workstation, and provide a climate-controlled workspace with the ability to store and consume meals within the mobile workstation. The mobile workstation allows teams of four personnel to drive to mission areas with multiple racks of equipment and hardware. The 20� mobile workstation provides the ability to fabricate and modify aluminum mounting foundations. Additionally, the mobile workstation must supply multiple internal and external 20A 120 VAC power receptacles to power tools and test equipment. Why You Should�Participate USSOCOM seeks to enter into non-FAR or FAR based agreements with Industry, Academic, and National Lab partners whose solutions are favorably evaluated by Navy SMEs. As such, the Assessment Event is considered competitive and solutions will be evaluated independently of one another primarily for technical merit. This serves dually as notification of the intent to research the feasibility of an agreement under 10 U. S. Code, Section 4022 and/or Section 4022(f), and as notice of pre-solicitation activities IAW FAR 5.204. Phase 1 � 28 October 2022 to 28 November 2022 Submissions to the Assessment Event (AE) Open:�Interested respondents who could potentially provide solutions that meet the needs of USSOCOM are encouraged to submit their solutions for USSOCOM review. To submit your technology for potential Phase 3 attendance, please review the assessment criteria and follow the submission instructions at the bottom of this webpage. Phase 1a � 10 November 2022 Q&A Telecon:�Interested offerors may participate in a virtual Q&A session to better understand the PM�s specific technology objectives. The telecon will take place on 09 November from 2:00 PM � 3:00 PM ET.�Click Here to RSVP�(NLT 09 November) Phase 2 � 30 November 2022 to 09 December 2022 Downselect:�USSOCOM will downselect those respondents/submissions they feel have the highest potential to satisfy their technology needs. Favorably evaluated submissions will receive an invitation to attend the Virtual Assessment Event o/a 09 December. Phase 3 � 03 January 2023 to 05 January 2023 Virtual Assessment Event (AE):�During the Virtual AE, selected participants will be allotted a one-on-one session with the USSOCOM evaluation panel to pitch, demonstrate, and/or discuss their solutions. The forum will include a Q&A portion, and discussions may continue outside of the event. Solution brief evaluation criteria will be outlined in the event invitation and solutions will be assessed according to the criteria in the link provided below. If the USSOCOM evaluation panel favorably evaluates a solution brief, negotiations for Phase 4 may immediately begin. This event will be held virtually. Phase 4 � Path Forward:�Successfully negotiated awards may fall under any combination of these categories: Business to business research and development agreement as a sub-award through the SOFWERX Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) (15 U.S. Code Section 3715) OTA for research or prototype projects (10 U.S. Code Sections 4021, 4022) An award under 10 U. S. Code, Section 4022 may result in the further award of a follow-on production agreement without additional competition based on successful prototype completion. The Government may make this follow-on production award even if all successful prototype criteria are not fully met during the prototype project. Procurement for experimental purposes (10 U.S. Code Section 4023) Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (15 U.S. Code Section 3710a) Prizes for advanced technology achievements (10 U. S. Code Section 4025) and/or prize competitions (15 U.S. Code 3719) FAR-based procurement contract NOTE:�Awardees may need to be compliant with NIST SP 800-171, Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in Non-Federal Systems and Organizations How You Can Participate Industry, Academia, National Labs, and Non-Traditional Attendees RSVP to Attend the 10 November Q&A Telecon:�Click Here to RSVP�(NLT 09 November) Review Assessment Criteria:�Click Here to Review Review Vignette:�Click Here to Review Download the White Paper Template:�Click Here to Download Complete the Submission Form:�Click Here to Submit�(NLT 28 November) Questions??� For event-related questions, please contact Gabby Robles,�gabrielle.robles@sofwerx.org
