23 -- MARKET SURVEY PROGRAM INTEGRATION CONTRACTOR (PIC) FOR THE USMC'S PROGRAM TO UPGRADE LIGHT ARMORED VEHICLES POC Thomas Miller (810) 574-8361 E-MAIL: Click here to contact POC, millerth@cc.tacom.army.mil. Reference Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Market Survey #98007, due 30 days from the date of this ad. This is NOT an invitation for Bid (IFB) or a Request for Proposal (RFP). Under PL 98-369 (CICA), this sources sought market survey is seeking to identify potential suppliers to become the Program Integration Contractor (PIC) for the USMC's program to upgrade its fleet of Light Armored Vehicles (LAVs). The objective of this program is to install various improvements and upgrades (a list of potential improvements/upgrades under consideration is available upon request) in all 771 LAVs required to extend the service life of the vehicle to 2015, and to reduce maintenance and life cycle cost. The PIC would be required to manage/coordinate acquisition of individual upgrades from multiple subcontractors; ensuring that contract cost, schedule, and performance requirements are achieved. Installation of the SLEP upgrades shall either be done at the PIC's facility; or at another contractor facility (if another contractor is selected for the installation effort); or at a government depot, either by government depot employees or depot employees teamed with contractor personnel. Potential contractors should be able to demonstrate successful performance of a similar integration or SLEP-type program under a previous Government contract(s). Responses should provide detailed information about the previous contract(s) (contract number, dollar amount, Government POCs, program description, etc.). It is desired that the PIC have past experience and knowledge of the LAV, as the vehicle Technical Data Package (TDP) is proprietary to the manufacturer, so only limited, non-proprietary data can be furnished. All interested firms, regardless of size are encouraged to respond to this announcement. However, companies must indicate business size with their written response to this synopsis. Responses should be as short and concise as possible, and should be sent via e-mail to: millerth@cc.tacom.army.mil, or via regular mailto: USA TACOM, ATTN: Mr. Tom Miller, AMSTA-DSA-LV-P, Warren, MI 48397-5000. This market survey is for information and planning purposes only, does not constitute a request for proposals, and is not to be construed as a commitment by TACOM-Warren.
