Title: Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) Sustainment

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE (SSN) ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION. PWS ATTACHMENTS OR DRAWINGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

PEO IEWS/PM GS requests responses from qualified businesses interested in performing work under a proposed contract for HMDS 6B technical, integrated product support, sustainment, product & quality assurance, program management services,  and incidental hardware procurement requirements. Work is to be performed at contractor facilities and/or Government facilities (Fort Belvoir, VA, Fort Walker, VA).

PEO IEWS/PM GS intends to determine the extent of capable firms that are currently engaged in or can demonstrate prior or current work experience in radar or similar systems to those described hereunder.

The SSN responses will be used for planning purposes for an upcoming procurement and does not commit the government to a contract for any services or materials. This Agency will not accept unsolicited proposals and will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this SSN. At this time, proprietary information is not being requested, and respondents shall refrain from providing proprietary information. Please be advised that all responses and submissions become Government property and will not be returned. Not responding to this SSN does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. Responses will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. Therefore, the determination of a set-aside to be issued, will depend upon the responders capabilities as evaluated by the Government.

In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this SSN are not offers and cannot be accepted by the U.S Government to form a binding contract. It is the responsibility of the interested parties to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this SSN.

II. PURPOSE:

This SSN will gather information to inform the Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Belvoir Division and PEO IEWS/PM GS on their strategy for a future potential contract action to procure HMDS 6B services and incidental hardware. Support will include, but not be limited to, technical; integrated product support; sustainment; product & quality assurance; program management; and incidental non-proprietary hardware procurement. Support will also include proprietary Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specific services and hardware necessary to satisfy requirements for continued HMDS 6B sustainment and life-cycle management through FY47. This SSN will determine whether there is sufficient interest from qualified small businesses to warrant a total small business set-aside for this acquisition and to gain feedback from industry pertaining to the attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) and feedback on the incorporation of Cost and Software Data Reporting System (CSDR).

III. BACKGROUND:

HMDS is a Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) end-item used for detection and marking of buried explosive hazards and their initiation systems. The HMDS 6B is installed on Husky (M1231) vehicles and enhances the current M1231 vehicle capability by providing an advanced, high-performance Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) sensor that detects surface and buried C-IED threats with high or low metal content. The HMDS also has a Wire Detection (WD) sensor that detects IED wires and has a marking system to indicate suspected C-IED threats. The GPR panel array and WD sensors are mounted on a bracket that allows the array to move up and down automatically with the contour of the ground during detection/scanning operation. The Husky (M1231) vehicle platform is not within the scope of this effort.

Chemring Sensors & Electronic Systems, Inc (CSES), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and prime contractor, retains the technical data rights for three (3) of 11 HMDS Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). The three (3) proprietary LRUs are: Ground Penetrating Radar Sensor (P/N 011621-AY-1), Wire Detection Multiplexer (P/N 016637-AY) & Wire Detection Sensor (P/N 10090991), and Position Synthesis Module (P/N 010960). Also, the Vehicle Motion Sensor (P/N 012239-AY) is a source controlled proprietary LRU manufactured under exclusive arrangement with CSES suppliers.

The Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) 6B program is currently in the Operations and Support acquisition phase. The contractor shall provide the necessary HMDS 6B life-cycle management support for 168 systems with CECOM ILSC and PEO IEWS/PM GS to provide organic maintenance.

Test data, drawings, illustrations, model outputs, etc. can be provided as attachments and will not be counted toward the 16-page limit.

D. Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR) (maximum 4 pages)

Background: Based on current policy Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR) is required on all ACAT I and ACAT II program contracts valued at greater than $50M, which is inclusive of supporting sub-contractors. See the following link: https://cade.osd.mil/policy/csdr-timeline

CSDR is used to capture expenditure, technical, and programmatic data after contract execution. CSDR reporting is a primary data source utilized when completing cost and budget estimates. CSDR is like Earned Value Management in that both systems rely on financial information and work breakdown structures.  However major differences include the reporting of costs by recurring and non-recurring, tracking of functional cost, and reporting of proprietary information including cost, G&A, Contractor Profit/Loss or Fee. The CSDR requirement ensures that you, the vendor, will report the actual, internal cost incurred and not simply regurgitate the contract’s Fixed Firm Price.” See CSDR Contractor FAQs at following link: https://cade.osd.mil/policy/FAQs

INFORMATION REQUESTED:

1. Would the inclusion of CSDR requirements on the HMDS contract impact your ability to complete contract requirements or deter you from submitting a proposal?  Y or N

Please answer the following questions pertaining to CSDR Reporting Requirements:

1. Are you familiar with Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR)?
