Contract Opportunity

This is a Request for Information (RFI). The Program Executive Office (PEO) Missiles and Space (M&S), Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions (TAGM) Project Office, on behalf of the Warfighter, is conducting market research to support the acquisition strategy for the Mobile-Long Range Precision Strike Missile (M-LRPSM) Directed Requirement.

The U.S. Government (USG) is seeking an immediate capability that is readily available to bridge a current gap/operational requirement. This capability must address the technical requirements outlined below along with the development of an interface kit that would allow operation on the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) or the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) currently fielded in the Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT).

This RFI is for informational purposes only. This is not a request for proposal (RFP). This RFI does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the USG. Responses in any form are not offers and the USG is under no obligation to award a contract because of this notice. No funds will be provided to pay for preparation of responses to this notice. Any information submitted by respondents to this request is strictly voluntary.

No later than (NLT) 21 days from the date of issuance, interested businesses should provide a Statement of Capability that clearly articulates their proposed solution along with information on company background and past performance relevant to the requirements stated in this notice. The USG is seeking to own the full Technical Data Package (TDP) for the interface kit to be developed at the USG’s expense between the selected missile/munition and the vehicle. The USG will only consider submissions that address the full scope of work outlined below.

The defining technical requirements for the M-LRPSM are as follows in order of priority:

1. Must be effective against various target types to include:
   
   
   
   1. Armored vehicles (stationary and in defilade)
   
   
   2. Troops
   
   
   3. Field Fortifications
   
   
   4. Urban Structures
   
   
   
   


2. Must achieve a range of 25km or greater.


3. Must be transportable by existing IBCT light tactical vehicle platforms (JLTV or ISV).


4. ​Should have the ability to adjust missile flight, retarget, and abort.


5. Should have the ability to employ four missiles from a single launcher simultaneously.


6. Should be survivable and resilient in denied, degraded, intermittent, and limited-bandwidth (DDIL) environments, enabling the system to operate and protect itself against attacks on embedded network, cyberspace, electromagnetic spectrum (EMS), and position, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities.​


7. A time to target requirement is currently undefined however a reduced time of flight will be a key consideration.

Cost/schedule/performance information requested:

1. Procurement lead-time for available solutions from agreement award to delivery.


2. Current max production capacity including surge capacity and headspace available.


3. Current pricing data on launchers and munitions in quantities of 6, 12, and 18 for launchers; and 24, 48, and 72 for munitions.


4. Estimated cost of interface kit development including the associated interface TDP package.


5. Anticipated time required upon receipt of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) vehicles to develop and produce an interface kit for launcher to be secured on vehicle and ready for live-fire demonstration.


6. Key performance characteristics of proposed solution that support the above requirements by Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL), including, but not limited to, size, weight, minimum and maximum range, power required, lethality, and time of flight to 25km.

Past performance should emphasize the following areas:

1. Experience in the integration of missiles/munitions on platforms to provide long range effects for the Warfighter, include Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) compliance.


2. Previous success in providing logistics support through a materiel release process and sustainment of a product.


3. Vision for future product improvements with proposed timeline and costs.


4. State areas where anticipated Intellectual Property or Proprietary rights would be claimed and what the benefit would be to the USG (Cost or Schedule).


5. Provide, as attachments, any USG test reports, vendor demonstration reports, operational test reports, etc., that justify stated TRL.


6. Substantiate MRL assessment according to the criteria in the DoD MRL Deskbook 2018.

Responses should also include:
