CREW-2 Installation Kit
The U.S. Army Contracting Command (ACC) New Jersey is conducting a Market Survey on behalf of U.S Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center for manufacturing capability and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) costing.
The U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) in is currently investigating the sourcing of manufacturing capability and item providers for vehicle components on the Bradley Vehicle Platform, specifically to install the CREW-2 system. The contractor shall be able to develop and implement manufacturing plans and processes in order to acquire and produce required components, subassemblies, and assemblies identified in the provided drawings (and affiliate drawings) as well as implement quality control and assurance processes meeting or exceeding military standards or industry standards. The contractor shall develop sourcing plans in effort to source and provide all requisite items and quantities identified in the Bill of Materials (BOM). The kit includes drawings which the government does not possess ownership, for these particular items, the government will provide the appropriate NSN and original manufacturers contact information for sourcing. The contactor shall be able to contact the appropriate vendors and purchase the parts from these vendors. The contractor shall provide rough order of magnitude (ROM) costing for estimation purposes. ARDEC is seeking reliable, demonstrable, and sustainable sources of components and item vendors to meet the demanding performance requirements and schedules of the DoD. Furthermore, ARDEC is seeking a ROM costing and estimated delivery schedules for the following quantities: one (QTY:1), ten (QTY:10), fifty (QTY:50), and one-hundred (QTY:100).
