Request for Prototype Proposals (RPP) Overview The Government intends to issue a RPP for the Robotic Combat Vehicle (Light) (RCV(L)) Full System Prototype (FSP) under the Ground Vehicle Systems (GVS) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), W15QKN-17-9-1025. The GVS OTA was entered into between the Army Contracting Command (ACC) and the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) on 26 September 2017, in support of Ground Vehicle Systems related Research and Development prototype projects. The Government will utilize the GVS OTA to award this effort. The intent of this project is to prove out a concept while supporting design maturation and software development. The RCV(L) FSP will be used for Government evaluation and Limited User Test. The scope of the project is to be based on a Non-Developmental Item (NDI) or Modified NDI platform based on currently existing systems. �RCV(L) FSP will follow a multi-phase procurement strategy. Phase I: Platform Prototype Design and Build Phase II: Full System Prototype (FSP) Design and Build Phase III: Possible Follow-On Production Phase I: The Government anticipates awarding up to three (3) prototype task assignments as a result of the proposal evaluations from the RPP. It is anticipated that each task assignment will consist of a scope of work that will include the delivery of two (2) RCV(L) platforms as Prototype Demonstrators that will be assessed on meeting a defined PSPEC while integrating with Government�s required payloads and Government Furnished Software (GFS) autonomy package, mission module payload (Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) lethality system and unmanned aerial system), and Government Furnished Information (GFI) defining the architectural constraints. Phase II: Based on test analysis of up to the three (3) selected contactors from Phase I, the Government will select one (1) contractor to develop, prototype, and deliver nine (9) FSPs for developmental testing and a Limited User Test. The FSP will focus on integrating the RCV system boundary, which consists of an unmanned combat vehicle platform, mounted control station and dismounted controller, autonomy and control station software, resilient communications, and multi-domain payloads. Phase III: Follow-On Production The Government anticipates pursuing a Follow-on Production effort under the authority of 10.U.S.C. 4022(f)), which states that, upon a determination that the competitively awarded prototype project has been successfully completed, the prototype project may result in the award of a follow-on production contract or transaction without the use of competitive procedures. The follow-on production effort will be administered outside of the GVS OTA. The anticipated Follow-on Production quantity and value will be included in the RPP release. NOTE: A prototype project will not be awarded in response to this announcement. The purpose of this announcement is to provide industry advanced notification of the Government's intent to host an Industry Day and the Government�s intent to release an RPP to the NAMC membership. For information on the NAMC and/or how to become a member, visit the following website: www.NAMConsortium.org. The Government point of contact for this effort is Joseph Ibrahim, joseph.m.ibrahim.civ@army.mil.
