- Description
- The US Army Office of the Project Manager Maneuver Ammunition (OPM MAS) Systems has a requirement for technical support services in the area of developing a ???capability gap??? on the lethality requirements for the Abrams. Within the last 18 months, Army Leadership has projected the longevity and service life of the platform to the 2045 timeframe. The extension of the service life requires Abrams to be modernized and integrated into the Future Combat Systems (FCS) network to support the future force. Consequently, increased coordination between PM MAS and TRADOC System Manager (TSM) Abrams is necessary to properly integrate, communicate and develop future requirements/capabilities for the Abrams. This will require working with the Abrams, Ammunition, TSM, and Unit of Action Maneuver Battle Lab (UAMBL) communities to identify and define the requirements to fill the gaps in terms of ammunition for the accompanying platform modernization (i.e. fire control system, breech, gun, etc). OPM MAS intends to award a SOLE SOURCE contract modification to Fast Track Technologies for this additional work under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, avoidance of duplication of cost and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency???s requirements. Currently, Fast Track Technologies supports UAMBL in the same capacity for the FCS Mounted Combat System (MCS) ammunition development and integration. This notice does not constitute an RFP and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. See Numbered Note 22.
