Request for Proposal released to the Original Equipment Manufacturer, 23 June 2022. Proposal due by end of day 8 August 2022.

Note that this is an approved sole source procurement. The following information was provided in the Synopsis posted 21 December 2021:

This requirement is in support of Project Manager Self-Propelled Howitzer Systems. This action is not being competed, in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition, 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements (redacted J&A posted 2 February 2021). Specifically, the use of this authority for other than full and open competition is supported by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A), which provides that supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source, in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency and or reach out directly to the sited original equipment manufacturer for subcontracting opportunities.
