The U.S. Army has announced the final request for proposals on the Design, Development, Demonstration and Integration II Domain 1 contract to support the missions of its Space and Missile Defense Command.
The solicitation is for a multiple award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity basic contract with cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price task orders, according to a SAM.gov notice published on Tuesday.
A full and open competitive acquisition, the D3I2 D1 solicitation is a follow-on to the current D3I D1 MAIDIQ contracts awarded in February 2017, with total potential value of over $3 billion.
The D3I2 D1 solicitation, initiated by the Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal, calls for research proposals on the development of hardware components and software solutions. The deadline for the proposal submission is on Oct. 15.
The Army initially issued a draft D3I2 D1 solicitation in April and a request for proposals on D3I2 D2 in January, which seeks support services on SMDC’s information integration and data exploitation.
A programmatic level ceiling value of $4.62 billion is expected to be shared between D3I2 D1 full-and open and D3I2 D2 small business set-aside contractors. Prime D1 contractors are expected to share in a $2.57 billion award.
