Description

PART: U.S. GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTS SUBPART: SERVICES CLASSCOD: --Production--Potential Sources Sought OFFADD: U.S. Army CECOM, CECOM Acquisition Center, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5008 SUBJECT: A--ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT CAMOUFLAGE NET SYSTEM (ULCANS) SOL U. S. Army CECOM DUE 120304 POC Mr. Tom Newman, (732) 427-5034 DESC: ULCANS is managed by Product Manager(PM) Force Sustainment Systems(FSS) and is supported by U.S. Army CECOM Ft. Monmouth. The purpose of this market research is to solicit information from industry to determine the current capability to support the p roduction of ULCANS camouflage systems. ULCANS Systems are currently being produced on an existing contract IAW Performance Specification PRF 53134 Rev D which has a Distribution Statement D: Distribution authorized to DoD and U.S. DoD contractors only; Critical Sensitive Information; Other requests for this document shall be referred to the U.S. Army CECOM Logistics Readiness Center, Ft. Monmouth, NJ. The Army awarded a 5-year IDIQ contract to SAAB Barracuda in Dec 03. Due to the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), demands for ULCANS have significantly out-paced the anticipated requiremen ts. At the current demand rates, the Army expects to reach the contract dollar ceiling on the current contract sometime in late FY 05, or early FY 06. The Army has plans to solicit a new production contract during the government fiscal year of 2005. The Army anticipates that this will be a 5-year IDIQ contract with up to 5 Option Years. This new contract shall produce four configurations Woodland Radar Scattering, Woodland Radar Transparent, Desert Radar Scattering and Desert Radar Transparent, and will allow for the development of other ULCANS variants such as Snow/Artic, Urban and Aviation. Production rates of up to 10,000 Systems and 2,000 spare nets per month are anticipated. The Government may award to multiple vendors in order to meet the required production rates. Each variant shall comply with the standard physical configurations consisting of camouflage screens, repair kit, operator / maintenance manual,storage / transport containers, support system set consisting of 24 ground stakes, 12 screen support poles, 6 shape disrupters and separate storage / transport container. Key Performance Parameters: ULCANS must provide concealment by multiple sensors, and be interoperable with the current ULCANS Systems produced under the existing contract. Curr ently hostile forces are using commercial means and their own national capabilities to detect, identify, target, and kill friendly forces via their visual, electro-optic, radar, and infrared signatures. These variants have been established based on the TR ADOC requirements for multi functional operations during conflicts and are required to meet multiple threats. When camouflage is erected over one of many military tactical systems it shall not impair the mission of that system being covered. Outcome: The results of this survey will serve as the basis for initiating the competitive acquisition and provide the Government program office with a prospective of industries capability to produce the ULCANS systems. Please indicate if you are interested in prime, teaming, or sub-contactor opportunities. The Government intends to host an Industry Day at Ft. Monmouth NJ on 16 Dec 04. E-mail responses to this survey shall be submitted to Mr. Tom Newman at Thomas.Newman@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. RESPONSES DUE NO LATE R THAN 3 Dec 2004.
