This announcement is being placed on FBO on behalf of the Lead Systems Integrator for the Future Combat System (FCS) program and is NOT a Government procureme nt. No Government solicitation will result from this announcement. The Boeing Company, in conjunction with our partner Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), together acting as Lead Systems Integrator (LSI) for the Army, is pleased to announce a new competitive bid opportunity for the Future Combat System (FCS) Large Caliber Automated Resupply (LCAR) solution. The capability to resupply large caliber ammunition in an automated manner is a FCS BCT program requirement associated with three Manned Ground Vehicle variants: the Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLO S-C), the Non-Line-of-Sight Mortar (NLOS-M), and the Mounted Combat Systems (MCS). The LCAR capability will be external to the MGV platforms, but will interface with ammunition entry ports that facilitate automated resupply to the internal ammunition h andling system in each of the platforms. The LCAR capability will be truck transported and must be compatible with the Heavy Equipment Materiel Truck Transport Load Handling System (HEMTT LHS) and/or Trailer with Palletized Load System (PLS) Flat-rack, which are transportation assets organic to the FCS BCT. No Material Handling Equipment (MHE) truck-mounted or otherwise will be considered. On 30 August 2006, the LSI will host an Industry Day event for companies interested in being considered as a potential supplier for the LCAR solution. This Industry Day will be held in St. Louis, Missouri. A Draft LCAR RFP will be released at Industry Da y. If interested, please refer to the FCS Home Page for details at http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/ic/fcs/bia/ . Please direct all questions or concerns regarding this RFP to the attention of Roz via the FCS mailbox fcsn@boeing.com.
