11 Take Aways for Industry Awareness of The Agile Process A tool for rapid decisions by informed Senior Leadership Designed as a step by step process through phases Helps the Army fill significant Gaps and Objectives Provides fairness in the selection of systems entering NIE How to submit a White Paper The information you provide is how we assess your readiness to come to the NIE Clearly identify the gap your system will address Insure you can meet key dates and equipment quantities Submit a complete package on time Check FedBizOps for updates and clarifications Two way Communication is Critical Face to Face Meetings -Systems Under Evaluation Technical Information Meeting(SUE TIM) is the SME review of the White Paper that contributes to a mutual agreement of what comes to the NIE -The Bull Pen is a comprehensive information exchange covering critical topics from architecture design to spectrum management Virtual Meetings -Use for rapid dissemination of information (Schedule, Equipment, FSR Support, Updates) Information updates are posted to: Feedback is not a Criticism of your system. It is meant to help you understand what the Army observed of your technology to include strengths and weaknesses 11

13 Capability Set Acquisition REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Army is dedicated to competitive environment and has taken action to build a Request for Proposal process for soliciting industry participation in NIE and establishing competitive production line items for future ordering opportunity post a Decision Point 3 to field a capability. Proposals initially go through a two-stage evaluation Stage I is a paper review of proposal for technical acceptability (offerors found to be technically acceptable in Stage I move to Stage II) Stage II is a black box assessment for product technical acceptability and evaluated prices (Offeror(s) providing best-value or offeror(s) technically acceptable low price are given a contract for participation NIE. RFPs will result in competitive contract awards of either a single contract or Multiple Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity contracts for a gap. Pricing will be fixed at Not-To-Exceed prices at initial award. Post NIE orders can be competed among MATO contract holders by the responsible PM on either a best value or low price technically acceptable basis. Post NIE proposals will be solicited from NIE contract holders. Source Selection criteria will be established by the assigned PM and product performance in NIE will serve as an evaluation factor. The Army is also soliciting PMs to incorporate NIE participation in to their planned acquisitions. Other potential methods include Engineering Change Proposal (ECP)/Modification Work Order (MWO) to an existing Program of Record or to utilize an existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, such as the Common Hardware Systems contract, to procure systems within their scope. The Army will maintain flexibility with methods of procurement. The assigned PM will be responsible for determining the most appropriate procurement vehicle for supporting a CS

14 RFP Status To Date A RFP for Vehicle Tactical Router participation in NIE 14.1 was issued in Dec 2012 resulting in the award of six Multiple Award Task Order (MATO) contracts on 14 Jun With each contract awarded an order was issued for participating in NIE Contractors will loan their equipment and support integration, training, and product maintenance for NIE Additional orders for production units may be solicited among MATO holders for post NIE 14.1 requirements = future NIE architecture or CS fielding CS fielding procurement would be the responsibility of the assigned PM not SOSE&I. A RFP for an Interoperable Voice Client Software solution was released on 22 May 2013 and closed on 21 Jun Award of a single contract for participation in NIE 14.2 with options for production licenses is anticipated. SOSE&I is collaborating with PEOs and PMs to identify and develop a viable gap RFP candidate for 15.1.
