On July
3, the U.S. Army posted a special notice for the
development of up to two Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance Surveillance
Systems-Electronic Intelligence (EMARSS-E) prototype aircraft. A Virtual
Collaboration Event will be held on July 10, 2019 for this
opportunity.
This is not a notice
for a solicitation. This is not a Request for Proposal or Request for Enhanced
Whitepapers (EWPs). This Special Notice is to advise that the Government
intends to issue a Request for Whitepapers (RWP), AMTC-19-06, under the
Aviation and Missile Technology Consortium (AMTC) Other Transaction Agreement
(OTA) for the development of up to two (2) Enhanced Medium Altitude
Reconnaissance Surveillance Systems-Electronic Intelligence (EMARSS-E)
prototype aircraft that will be capable of intercepting, direction finding, and
geolocation of emitters, and support of All-domain Overhead Cooperative
Operations (AOCO).
The effort will
evaluate the technical feasibility and manufacturing feasibility of the
prototype being developed. Included in the assessment of a
prospective offeror’s manufacturing feasibility will be a mandatory pre-award
survey on-site visit conducted by the Government prior to the submission of
EWPs under RWP AMTC-19-06. Pre-Award Survey Checklists will be
provided to each offeror and will be used to assess a prospective offeror’s
manufacturing feasibility. Information obtained during the pre-award
survey on-site visit will be assessed on an overall Pass/Fail basis. All
requests for pre-award on-site visits must be forwarded to Brian Huff
(brian.l.huff3.civ@mail.mil) and Marc Busala (marc.busala.civ@mail.mil) no
later than 5:00pm CDT on 15 July 2019 and be completed no later than 5:00pm CDT
on 25 July 2019. Any potential offeror not willing to schedule the
pre-award on-site visit need not provide a submission to this RWP.
A Virtual
Collaboration Event will be held on July 10, 2019 for this
opportunity. Registration details and sign-ups for government
one-on-one sessions will be provided to AMTC members and posted on the Members
Only websites.
The AMTC, comprised of the National Armaments Consortium (NAC) and the
Vertical Lift Consortium (VLC), has partnered with U.S. Army’s Combat
Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center and the Army
Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) to develop innovative aviation
and missile technologies that rapidly and affordably enhance warfighter
lethality, survivability, and combat effectiveness.
Interested parties can be directed to https://www.amtcenterprise.org to obtain information regarding this Request for Enhanced Whitepapers.
