Summary
This Draft Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) is issued by the U.S. Army Contracting Command – New Jersey, aimed at soliciting white papers for the development of technologies related to the Precision Grenadier System (PGS).
The PPON outlines the Army's intent to award multiple Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements under Section 815, focusing on addressing capability gaps identified in previous assessments regarding counter-defilade target engagement. The PGS is envisioned as a soldier-portable, shoulder-fired armament system designed to enhance lethality and precision in engagements while minimizing collateral damage. Responses to this PPON are independent of any existing Program of Record (POR) for PGS, allowing for broader participation from industry innovators.
The acquisition approach includes a structured process where interested entities must submit white papers that will be evaluated based on specified criteria. Selected offerors will then engage in collaborative discussions with government representatives before submitting final proposals. Each proposal may receive funding up to $2 million, contingent upon available resources, and the Army reserves the right to make no awards if deemed necessary.
Eligibility requirements emphasize participation from nontraditional defense contractors or small businesses, along with necessary registrations and certifications. The evaluation process involves subject matter experts and outlines expectations for technology demonstrations that align with the PGS system concept.
