Caisson Wagon - Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Request for Prototype Proposal (RPP) W51EW7-26-R-A010

The Mission & Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Theater Support Center (TSC) is seeking proposals to design, develop, and deliver a prototype Caisson Wagon to support memorial affairs operations at Arlington National Cemetery. The current fleet of Caisson wagons is aging, and the Government is looking for a sustainable, long-term solution. The prototype project may result in a follow-on production agreement for additional Caisson Wagons. The proposal should include a comprehensive technical approach, a detailed design, and a plan for logistics and sustainability. Key considerations include reducing physical strain on horses, improving safety, and maintaining the historic aesthetic of the original 1917 Caisson model. • The proposal should be submitted electronically via email. • The Government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) agreement. • The prototype delivery should include one spare wheel for each wagon. • The proposal should include a Comprehensive Service Manual that is complete enough to allow Government personnel to perform all operator-level and field-level maintenance. • The Government will evaluate the proposal based on technical approach, logistics and sustainability, and price.
