THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ( RFI ) ONLY . This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a Request for Proposal ( RFP ) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future . This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever . Further , the Army is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals . Respondents are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI ; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party ’ s expense . Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP , if any is issued . Please note , the information received from this RFI is used to help the Government refine the requirement and help identify areas of ambiguity so that , if released , the RFP is well defined . Any feedback / questions as a result of this RFI will not be responded to directly and will be addressed in the final RFP if the Government deems it necessary . BACKGROUND . PM EW & C is exploring an acquisition strategy to provide commercially sourced , worldwide , end - to - end lifecycle management and integration for the Army ’ s portfolio of Electromagnetic Warfare ( EW ) systems . The current acquisition and fielding model presents challenges in meeting the diverse , mission - specific requirements of tactical commanders . Fielding a common basis of issue ( BOI ) across varied formations ( e . g ., heavy , light , airborne ) has proven to be neither cost - effective nor optimal for ensuring battlefield lethality against modern , technologically advanced adversaries . To address these challenges , PM EW & C is contemplating a new acquisition framework designed to increase flexibility , speed , and commander involvement in the equipment selection and fielding process . DESCRIPTION . The Government is considering a dual - contract approach to separate the procurement of capabilities from their integration , ensuring both robust competition and objective systems engineering . This strategy consists of two planned Indefinite Delivery , Indefinite Quantity ( IDIQ ) contracts . One Single Award ( SA ) IDIQ for integration , and one Multiple Award ( MA ) IDIQ for capabilities . Multiple Award ( MA ) IDIQ Contract : To establish a comprehensive catalog , or " menu ," of EW and Signals Intelligence ( SIGINT ) capabilities , equipment , and services from a wide range of qualified industry partners . The Government anticipates issuing individual Request for Task Execution Plans ( RTEPs ) or RFPs to award task orders on a Cost - Plus - Fixed - Fee ( CPFF ), Cost - Plus - Award - Fee ( CPAF ), Cost Reimbursable , and / or Firm - Fixed - Price ( FFP ) basis . One Single Award ( SA ) IDIQ Contract : To secure a single Integrator responsible for the engineering , integration , and fielding of mission - tailored capability sets . This contract will be for the impartial , technically and operationally sound engineering and integration of capabilities selected from the MA IDIQ . The Integrator will be responsible for designing , delivering , and supporting fully integrated , unit - specific EW / SIGINT capability sets . To ensure impartiality and protect the integrity of the competitive process , the Integrator contractor and its affiliates will be ineligible to compete for or perform work as a provider of hardware , software , or services under the MA IDIQ for the life of the contract . This restriction is essential to mitigate potential or actual OCIs and prevent unfair competitive advantages . Each contract is planned with a five ‑ year base period and one five ‑ year option period . NAICS . The primary North American Industry Classification System ( NAICS ) code for the MA IDIQ is 334220 – Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communication Equipment Manufacturing . Both large and small businesses are encouraged to respond . Additional requirements may fall under other NAICS codes , including but not limited to 517110 , 515111 , 517210 , 517410 , 541712 , and 541512 . The applicable NAICS code will be assigned at the RTEP level . The primary NAICS code is anticipated to be 541512 , Computer Systems Design Services for the SA IDIQ . QUESTIONS TO INDUSTRY . The following questions are intended to be answered with a 3 - page limit using either Arial or Times New Roman Font size 12 : Does your company agree with this contracting approach ? If not , what suggestions or approach would be recommended as a better strategy ? Gate Criteria : What recommendations does industry have to use as gate criteria ( pass / fail ) that will allow vendors to move on to the next phase of the source selection ? Evaluation Criteria : What discriminators are recommended by industry that will allow the Government to determine vendor capability in providing life cycle support to the EW & C family of systems ? The following questions are intended to be answered with a 2 - page limit using either Arial or Times New Roman Font size 12 : Has your company worked on or been either a prime or subcontractor , that developed or fielded a successful EW and / or SIGINT prototypes or capabilities within the past 3 years ? If so , please list the OTA / Contract number ( s ) and specific responsibilities ( ex . Mechanical , environmental , Software , Networking , C2 , Human Factors , Production , etc .). Is your company interested in competing for this requirement as a prime or sub - contractor on the SA or MA IDIQ ( cannot be both )? What level of facility clearance does your company currently hold to store , handle and produce classified materials ? Please answer : SECRET , TOP SECRET , or NONE . If the answer to question 6 above is TOP SECRET , does your company have its own Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility ( SCIF ) or does it have a co - use agreement with another program / organization ? Is your company currently Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ( CMMC ) level 2 certified or above ? Please answer : Yes or No . Does your company currently have a Defense Contract Audit Agency ( DCAA ) approved accounting system ? Please answer : Yes or no .
