Key Details & Limitations
The Government does not possess sufficient technical data rights or the ability to provide all necessary technical data to prospective offerors, except for the M993 carrier. Any prospective offerors would be required to obtain the remaining technical data from the Original Equipment Manufacturer, Lockheed Martin. The Government does not expect to recover the cost of obtaining these data rights through competitive sourcing, and the time required to obtain data rights and qualify additional sources would result in unreasonable delays in equipment fielding.
Action Items
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration. The solicitation will not be made available through the Government Point of Entry (GPE); however, a copy may be provided by the Contracting Officer upon request.
