Purpose: Request for Information – The Army issued eleven (11) Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) and Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Multiple Award Contracts (MAC) in September 2014 with a total value of $444M which provides analytical support of evaluations including, but not limited to: assistance in evaluation and analysis planning and methodology; assistance in preparation and review of test and evaluation (T&E) documentation; data reduction and analysis support on-site during testing and post-test; and assistance in preparing input to draft system assessment and evaluation documents. This support is provided to the U.S. Army Evaluation Center (AEC), a subordinate activity of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). The MAC ordering period will end in September 2019. The responses received from this RFI will assist in developing an acquisition strategy. ACC-APG is seeking to identify business sources that may be capable of providing the required test and evaluation support to AEC. AEC conducts independent evaluations for all Army Acquisition Category (ACAT) systems, rapid acquisition systems, and systems undergoing experimental (demonstration) assessments. Evaluations are based upon adequate, efficient, well-planned developmental, integrated, and operational testing designed in collaboration with cross functional system test teams, leveraging all available sources.
