The US Army Contracting Center, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick on behalf of Product Manager Force Sustainment Systems (PM-FSS), located at the Natick Soldier Systems Center intends to issue a solicitation under Authority of FAR Part 15, to produce the Expandable and Non-Expandable International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Type Shelter (ASF-RWS). The government anticipates the planned solicitation will result in the award of a single Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment (FP-EPA) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), type contract for the development and production of the ASF-RWS. The contract is anticipated to have a ceiling value of $433,000,000.00 over a 10-year ordering period (five-year base development period contract years 1-5 and two production options). The minimum anticipated contract value will be $2,400,000.00 and the anticipated maximum contract value will be $433,000,000.00. An award will be made to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the government considering a tradeoff of price and non-price factors. The ASF-RWS P1 Expandable/Non-Expandable program represents a comprehensive effort to modernize and standardize the next generation of Army Rigid Wall Shelters by incorporating 30+ years of shelter performance technology and improved manufacturing for increased producibility and affordability. Compared to the legacy ISO Shelters, the ASF-RWS P1 shelters will provide more modular shelters for increased interoperability and scalability with the objective to provide a 50% greater payload for broader mission sets while also being 5% lighter weight while providing suitability in extreme environments for effectiveness around the globe. The ultimate goal of the ASF-RWS P1 Variant is to maintain standard shelter designs for greater sustainability and reduced life cycle costs. The ASF-RWS P1 program modernizes three Types of Army ISO rigid wall shelters: Type A - Non-expandable Type B - One-sided expandable Type C - Two-sided expandable Each Type has twelve variants based on color (tan or green), electrical requirements (60 or 100 Amp) and Class (H for heavy equipped with hook bar for transport and M for medical).
