Questions & Answers: Q1: Explain the meaning of the below sentence from NDA Section 3. �Any improvements made by Recipient to said DATA and inventions embodied therein shall become the exclusive property of the U.S. Government.� A1: If a potential offeror makes any improvements to the TDP that they receive from the US Government pursuant to PGS Industry Day activities, any such improvements that the offeror may make to said TDP will be owned by the US Government. Q2: We would like to know if we should expect to receive any U.S. Government data via SAFE in advance. This seems to be indicated by the second sentence of the revised Sam.gov description and the new Industry Day Agenda, which references numbered proposal factors and specific technical discussion areas. A2: The Government hopes to send out additional information prior to industry day. Instructions will be posted to SAM.gov. Unclassified information will be posted to SAM.gov, CUI information will be sent via DoD SAFE (https://safe.apps.mil/). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This notice serves as a notification for the event. All dates presented in this notice are estimates and are subject to change. US Government (USG) data will be shared via SAFE only if a company has met the necessary requirements to receive the data. Precision Grenadier System (PGS): The USG intends to conduct PGS Industry Day on October 21-22, 2025, to provide Program Overview, review draft Prototype Project Opportunity Notice, and share USG information. The updated draft agenda is attached. All visitors will be required to fill in and submit the required forms identified below tentatively on or before October 13, 2025. There will be no walk-ins or unregistered visitors allowed. There will be no one-on-one sessions during this event. The PGS Industry Day will be held at Hilton Garden Inn � Rockaway (375 Mount Hope Ave., Rockaway NJ 07866 (973-328-0600)). Group rate available in limited quantity. The PGS is envisioned to be a Soldier portable, shoulder fired, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, integrated armament system (weapon, fire control, and ammunition) that enables rapid, precision engagements, while not impacting Soldier mobility. The PGS is anticipated to be deployed as a Soldier�s primary weapon system, providing organic, close-quarters combat, counter-defilade, and C-UAS capabilities through a family of ammunition to ranges in concert with the rest of the squad�s battlespace, and requiring minimal resupplies to support. This capability shall provide overmatch to comparable threat grenade launchers in near-peer formations in future operating environments to include urban, jungle, woodland, subterranean, and desert, in day, night, or obscured conditions. All companies with personnel in attendance will be required to provide a DD2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement, AMSTA-AR 1350 Technical Data Request Questionnaire, and sign a Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA) applicable to the overall USG information prior to attending the event. Only one submission is needed per Company. All forms are attached. Companies without an approved DD2345 will not be able to receive Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Companies will have access to unclassified information at the Distribution Statement A level, but may be asked to leave the room during portions of the Industry Day briefings that involve CUI. For foreign companies, non-US citizens, and/or US citizens representing foreign companies, please provide your name, country of citizenship, and company to the POC below and further registration directions will be provided. Notes: (a) The USG does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Special Notice or to otherwise pay for the information solicited except as an allowable cost under other contracts as provided in subsection 31.205-18, bid and proposal costs, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. (b) Although ""proposal"", ""offeror"", �respondent�, �Contractor� or �Industry� may be used in this Special Notice, your response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal. (c) This Special Notice is issued for the purpose of informing Industry regarding future contracting plans and soliciting feedback. (d) No award is intended as a result of this Special Notice nor does the USG intend to pay for information received. Any response to this notice is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the USG to form a binding contract. (e) There are no vendor costs to participate in this event. A lack of participation in the PGS Industry Day does not preclude participation in any future solicitations, if any are issued.
