Description
The US Army is seeking feedback on the Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Characteristics of Need (EMSO CON) and the strategy to issue a FAR part 12 Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (MA-IDIQ) contract. The contract aims to provide commercially sourced, worldwide, end-to-end lifecycle management products for the Army's portfolio of Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) systems. The Army is considering a new acquisition framework to increase flexibility, speed, and commander involvement in the equipment selection and fielding process.
Some key points to consider include:
• The Army's current acquisition and fielding model presents challenges in meeting the diverse, mission-specific requirements of tactical commanders.
• The Army is seeking feedback on the EMSO CON and the strategy to issue a FAR part 12 MA-IDIQ.
• The contract will be used to procure commercial EW and SIGINT equipment and services to field and sustain that equipment.
• The Army is considering using pools/suites to associate different capability sets with their appropriate NAICS codes.
• The applicable NAICS code will be assigned at the order level.
