Advanced Mechanic Institute & Vehicle Conversion - Bradley Fighting System (BFS) and M88A2 (M88)
This is a sources sought notice for the Advanced Mechanic Institute (AMI) effort supporting M2A2 ODS SA Bradley Fighting Vehicles and M88A2 systems, including restoring vehicles to Fully Mission Capable + Safety standards, component procurement, and delivery to fulfill U.S. foreign assistance requirements for Ukraine. It also involves providing mechanic training and training materials for Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel, with performance including OCONUS training in Ukraine. No solicitation exists at this time, and no contract will be awarded from this notice; the government intends to negotiate a sole-source extension under FAR 6.302-1 but will consider capability statements from interested parties. Interested sources must demonstrate immediate access to legacy, variant-specific components, supply chain management capabilities, and a low-risk transition plan to full production, including an estimated timeline from award to first vehicle delivery. Immediate operational timelines require a phased delivery approach achieving "Move, Shoot, and Communicate" capability before managing delayed non-mission-essential parts.
