This Request for Information (RFI) Sources Sought (SS) is to identify any interested sources before soliciting a non-competitive acquisition per FAR 6.302-1 “Only One Responsible Source” for test and engineering support services for the IBCS adapted launcher and SW Fire Solution Computer (SFSC) development and integration. This is not a solicitation for proposals and no contract shall be awarded from this announcement. This is not a request for proposal. The requirements of this acquisition are to provide engineering and software efforts as required to develop and incorporate problem fixes for IBCS adapted launchers. This effort also requires the support of PAC-3/MSE processing ground equipment, testing and PAC-3/MSE post-test missile performance analysis. In addition to IBCS adapted launcher support services, this request will cover early engineering activities to support new IBCS component integration, airborne sensor and expanded mission planning. Unlike traditional acquisition programs that focus primarily on the development of a single system or platform, the Army IAMD (AIAMD) Program is uniquely structured to enable the development of an overarching System of Systems (SoS) capability with all participating Army Air Defense components functioning interdependently to provide total-operational capabilities not achievable by the individual element systems. The AIAMD program achieves this objective by establishing the AIAMD architecture and developing the IBCS that provides Engagement Operations Centers (EOCs) implementing common integrated fire control capability for fire control connectivity enabling distributed operations, and the common Plug and Fight (P&F) B-Kits located on the EOCs. The IFCN Relays network enable existing sensor components and weapon components with IBCS. P&F A-Kits are developed and integrated on the various Component Acquisition Program (CAP) weapon and sensor Major End Items (MEI) and are interfaced to IBCS, which implements the overarching IAMD SoS integrated fire control capability. The Launcher Interface Network Kit (LINK) is a Launcher Action Message (LAM) / Launcher Response Message (LRM) translation solution, which provides connection of PATRIOT launchers (PAC-2/PAC-3 variants) to the IBCS network via the IFCN Relay or the IBCS EOC. All responses shall be submitted to the U.S. Army Contracting command, ATTN: CCAM-SM-C/Tezra J. Hamilton, Building 5250, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5280 or email tezra.j.hamilton.civ@army.mil and courtesy copied to IFMC Project Office, ATTN: SFAE-MSL-MCB /Jessica Galindo, Building 5250, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5280 or email jessica.l.galindo6@army.mil. Your written responses are required by 4:00 p.m. CDT 07 July 2022. All questions and comments must be in writing (electronic email responses are acceptable), and no telephone calls will be accepted. The submission of this information is for planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to procure any items, nor does the U.S. Army intend to award on the basis of this request for sources sought or otherwise pay for the information solicited.
