The Government has documented a list of interested vendors
who applied for the Industry Day, with a total of roughly 180
vendors.

A subsequent request has been made to all vendors who

registered for the industry day requesting information such
as business size status, CAGE code, capabilities with regards
to the PWS, and interest in being a prime or subcontractor
looking to team up with other vendors.

With approval to release this information from vendors, a list

Historical Information

ACC-APG

Past and Present

ARL is currently carrying out similar actions under the

AEWD Program (MAC IDIQ), however there are
differences in the scope of the AMP IDIQ Requirement.

The technical brief will discuss in more detail the

differences between the two requirements and the types
of task orders expected under the AMP IDIQ.

For informational purposes, the AEWD MAC IDIQ has
issued 74 task order requests over the past 6+ years.
This may not be an accurate depiction of the AMP IDIQ in
the future.
