- Description
- Request for Comments Draft Performance Specification This is an Army/Marine Corps request. All interested parties are advised that the Government will not pay for, or provide any reimbursement for the information provided. No contract or other instrument will be issued as a result of this request for information and no reimbursement will be provided for any information submitted. Any costs associated with providing the Market Survey/Request for Information submissions will be solely at the expense of the concern submitting the information. The PEO-CS & CSS Office, on behalf of the warfighter, is seeking information on Industrys knowledge and expertise related to a Mine Resistant Ambushed Protected (MRAP) class recovery vehicle. This recovery vehicle will provide the capability to be able to retrieve vehicles ranging in weight from 38,000-73,000 lbs. A performance specification has been drafted which lays out the specific characteristics that the PEO-CS & CSS Office is looking for in this recovery vehicle. With the Industrys comments relaying their knowledge and expertise of recovery vehicles, the program office can further mature the performance specification while also developing an acquisition plan. The performance specification consists of both a classified and unclassified portion which states the requirements to be met with this recovery vehicle. The procedures to receive both sections of the specification are outlined below. If the performance requirements create an inconsistency or if two or more requirements cannot be achieved, because some aspects are mutually exclusive, you are asked to identify the issue and recommend how it might best be resolved. An alternative approach may be that if the indicated performance parameters are not achievable with a single vehicle at a reasonable weight, interested parties may address how the capabilities may be achieved using multiple platforms. Request that all responders keep in mind the impacts from performing recovery operations in mountainous terrain with poorly developed roadways. It is important to understand that an acquisition strategy has not yet been developed for this requirement and it has yet to be determined whether the strategy will be a full and open competition or be limited to the five current MRAP original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In order to provide comments to the Government, your firm must request the detailed information on the recovery vehicle, including the classified and unclassified portions of the performance specification, by sending your facility clearance information, and the name of your security officer, along with their security information to: Ms. P. Ryczek PEO CS & CSS ~ SFAE-CS&CSS-MRAP Mail Stop #298 US Army TACOM Warren, MI 48397-5000 Phone: 586.574.7940 Email: Pam.Ryczek@us.army.mil (Do NOT send CUI or FOUO via electronic mail) Interested parties are to provide a brief company description along with your expertise in providing this type of vehicle. Interested parties are to provide this information to Ms. Ryczek (listed above) and request the two portions of the performance specification. Please include the companys unclassified mailing address and POC information, secure fax number, classified mailing address along with DSS office for SF 254, CAGE code and security POC (email and phone number). Comments provided by interested parties may be used in maturing the performance specification while also structuring an acquisition plan solely at the Governments discretion. NOTE: If the interested party is a foreign concern, or if a US interested party has a team member or partner who is a foreign entity, they will need to adhere to all ITAR requirements. NOTE: All information must be provided in a format readable by MS Word 2003, or MS Excel 2003. If your submittal contains classified information, it should be properly labeled.
