Next Generation Mounted Family of Computer Systems

1.    DESCRIPTION :  The U.S. Army Project Manager Command & Control Infrastructure (PM C2I), Product Manager Mounted Command & Control (PdM MC2), and the Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC–APG) is conducting market research to request industry’s feedback regarding Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) or Non-Developmental Items (NDIs) that are readily available as potential solutions for MFoCS. The MFoCS capability has a heritage of providing ruggedized computing power to over 100,000 Army vehicles and tactical operation centers, building upon capabilities and lessons learned over two (2) decades. MFoCS represents a line of highly modular, cyber-hardened family of tactical computing and display systems designed to consolidate warfighting applications onto a single hardware platform for ground combat vehicles and command posts. These systems incorporate next-generation processing technologies, featuring high-definition multi-touch displays, expanded Random Access Memory (RAM), and higher-capacity solid-state storage.  THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION: This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), Invitation for Bid (IFB), or a promise to issue a RFP in the future.

RFI Questionnaire : INFORMATIONAL NOTE : An interface control document may be provided as part of this request. The information contained in it is classified as critical technical information and, therefore, access will be granted once the respondent has been cleared to receive (instructions below). It is expected that some responding parties may not be granted access to the controlled documents released with this RFI. In the event that access is not granted, responses are still encouraged and offerors must describe how their solution can survive extremely harsh environments inherent to U.S. Army combat platforms while meeting mission requirements. i. Please provide a brief overview of your company, including years in business, relevant experience in ruggedized/military computing, and key customers. How do you mitigate risks related to RAM and other critical component shortages? What is your typical lead time for delivery after order placement? Can you provide information on your supply chain partners and sourcing strategies? ii. Is your solution COTS or NDI?     a. If NDI, provide the status of your solution? (e.g. Design, Prototype, Production, etc.)     b. If NDI, is it available to the public or Government-only? iii. Is your solution National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliant? iv.
