IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF POTENTIAL OFFERORS TO MONITOR THE GPE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMMATION PERTAINING TO THIS REQUIREMENT.� PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Defense Acquisition Executive (DAE) approved the PrSM Materiel Development Decision (MDD) on 6 November 2013.� During the Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA) phase, the Army completed an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) in July 2015.� In September 2015, the Director, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (DCAPE) determined the analysis to be sufficient.� In April 2017, the Army updated the AoA assessing PrSM capabilities in multiple threat scenarios.� Results of the update confirmed the initial AoA findings supporting the development of a multiple missile per pod solution with ranges exceeding current long-range fire capabilities.� In August 2016, the Army awarded 9-month risk reduction trade studies and initial design development agreements to two industry partners.� In 1QFY17, the Army also conducted an Extended Range Missile Technology Demonstration (ERMTD) to assess the maturity of technologies and determine program acceleration opportunities.� Industry was invited to provide demonstrations of applicable component and system level technologies for consideration by the Government.� There were no technologies presented that supported program acceleration.� The DAE signed the MS A Acquisition Decision Memorandum on 31 March 2017 and determined an Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) for the PrSM Baseline Missile of 2422 missiles.� In 3QFY17, the PrSM Product Office (PO) awarded 34-month TMRR agreements to two industry partners using the Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium�s (DOTC) Other Transaction Authority (OTA).� On 19 December 2017, the Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) Cross Functional Team (CFT) briefed the Under Secretary of the Army and Vice Chief of Staff on an opportunity to accelerate PrSM from a MS A approved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) of 2QFY27, to fielding early production missiles in the FY23 timeframe.� The Army leadership concurred and programmed additional funding to meet acceleration requirements.���� On 10 December 2019, one industry partner conducted a successful prototype flight test meeting all required E-TMRR entrance criteria.� The Army awarded E-TMRR Phase 1 on 20 December 2019, which provided the authority to purchase materials required for E-TMRR.� The Army awarded the E-TMRR Phase 2 Statement of Work in 3QFY20. On 20 March 2020, the Army Acquisition Executive approved a PrSM Product Office (PO) plan that included awarding a single E-TMRR contract to industry.� REQUIRED CAPABILITIES The Army Contracting Command-Redstone anticipates awarding a contract for PrSM EMD and urgent material release (UMR) production quantities on an other than full and open competitive basis under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).
