They are extremely vulnerable as potential targets from small arms fire (7.62mm AP rounds) and improvised explosive de vices (IEDs). Acquisition Strategy The Government intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for up to two (2) each, five (5) year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for the design, prototype build, test, production, delivery of a Level III Technical Data Package (T DP), and installation of the CE Crew Protection Kits in Iraq and Afghanistan by the selected contractor. This function can be completed by U.S. citizens or third country national, but offerors are responsible for finding people who can complete the install in a timely and satisfactory manner, and who can get onto the installation. The design, prototypes build and test efforts are on an accelerated schedule to meet the critical need for construction equipment operator protection. Any orders issued under a p otential contract will be system specific. Please note that we anticipate that most of the orders will be placed during the initial two years of the 5 year IDIQ contract. The selected contractor may be required to have access to classified data and shall be required to comply with the requirements of DOD 5220-22-M National Industrial Security Program. The Government will use source selection procedures to select the offeror whose proposal represents the Best Value to the Government. An offerors submission must be a complete stand-alone proposal addressing all of the RFPs requirements. The Government reserves the right to award this contract without conducting discussions. An offerors proposal must be comprehensive, fully responsive to the information requested in the RFP and reflect the offerors best prices. This is an accelerated acquisition. Offerors are required to propose materials that have already been tested and approved by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to provide at least Class 3 Protection as defined in the attached Analysis of Threat Projectil es for Protection of Light Tactical Vehicles (please see the ARL link that is provided on this webpage). Offerors who are proposing the use of materials not previously tested and determined by the Government to provide this level of protection will not be evaluated. Contract award is needed as soon as possible to facilitate the installation of CE MHE AoA CPK on the aforementioned systems in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you are interested in receiving the RFP when it is issued please notify the contract specialist, Ms.Toni Spalding via email at toni.spalding@us.army.mil.
