A -- TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATOR SOL DAAE0795RR067 POC For a Solicitation copy, call 810/574-6802 or 6807. For information on this procurement, call Jean Paul Marcoux (810) 574-6793 This procurement is for a change to contract DAAE07-93 C-R155 with Barnes & Reinecke Inc. The objective of the demonstrator III program is to improve the mobility and performance capability of the Army tactical wheeled vehicles by incorporating emerging truck component Technologies into a technology demonstrator heavy transport truck. Under the existing demonstrator III contract, Barnes & Reinecke, Inc., (BRI) has designed the Tech Demo III heavy transport and procured the major components selected for this pls vehicle. BRI is currently funded to build-up all major components subsystems and fit them to the GFE test bed truck prior to shipment of the components to TACOM (for assenbly in-House in the workshop in building 200) on a second testbed vehicle. This effort will expand the BRI effort to include fabrication of minor components (brackets, linkages, controls, hoses & wiring) and complete build-up of the Demo III vehicle. Bri will deliver the completed vehicle to TACOM eliminating the need for any in-House fabrication at TACOM or the need for propulsion group to provide components and technical support to the shop area in building 200. This follow-on action will be negotiated on a sole source basis with Barnes & Reinecke Inc., and will be executed by a modification to their existing contract. See NOTE: 22.(0103)
