The Government will provide Technical Data Package (TDP) for system hardware and sample of Program of Instructions for New Equipment Training with the release of the Request for Proposal. A secured storage facility of 10,000 square feet minimum is required. M95/M96 MFCS- Mounted The MFCS Mounted (MFCS-M) designate as M95/M96 is the Fire Control System for the current 120mm Vehicle Mounted Mortar Systems and Fire Direction Center (FDC) vehicles.� The M95/M96 is fully integrated into the host vehicle.� It provides mortar platoons with accurate, digitally integrated mortar, and responsive digitized indirect fire system capabilities.� MFCS-M capabilities include weapon platform position with navigation capability, weapon pointing information, weapon�s ballistic solution computation, and the ability to communicate digitally with present and future digital fire support systems including the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) and Forward Observer System (FOS) via combat-net radios.� M150/M151 MFCS-Dismounted The MFCS Dismounted (MFCS-D) designated as M150/M151 is the Fire Control System for the current M120A1 Towed Mortar System and FDC vehicles.� The M150/M151 provides the same fire control functionality as of the M95/M96 but for a dismounted 120mm mortar configuration.� M32/M32A1 LHMBC The M32 LHMBC provides warfighters the ability to compute fast and accurate ballistic solutions for the entire family of fielded U.S. mortars (60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortar systems) and their complete inventory of ammunition.� With the LHMBC, soldiers are able to set up a mortar, calculate a fire control solution, fire, and begin redeployment in under one minute.� The system can calculate up to six simultaneous missions and three final protective fires, act on priority targets, perform fratricide checks, execute check fire, calculate single safety fan with multiple segments, utilize digital meteorological data, digitally communicate and receive call for fire from with the AFATDS and FOS.� Storage Facility Storage of MFCS, LHMBC, Government Furnished Equipment, and other systems includes providing a storage facility that can store mortar product for the life of a 5 year contract. The storage facility shall have climate control and be secured and monitored 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. Responsibilities at the Storage Location shall consist of identifying and assembling all items into fielding sets, i.e. assemblies, subassemblies, tools kits, and parts that make up each of the identified systems. Shipping of these products from the storage location will be required. The Government anticipates awarding a 5-year Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract (with five one-year ordering periods covering FY23-27 timeframe. Respondents shall address if they can meet all government requirements in this market survey. The Government estimates that approximately 48 Mortar Fire Control Systems, 1700 LHMBC Basic Issue Items, and 800 digital pointing devices may be purchased over a five year period. Respondents must be capable of delivering MFCS, LHMBC and its variants, and digital pointing devices as well as Engineering/OPNET/MNET/Warehousing services to the Army. Respondents should be able to demonstrate the following capabilities: Current and/or previous experience with MFCS, LHMBC and Engineering/OPNET/MNET services. System integration, testing, and storage facilities. Supply chain quality assurance, warranty services, and risk management. Qualify vendor and sub-vendor for quality production processes to include inspection plans to successfully support Army�s objectives. Experience with the elements of integrated logistics support, especially in support of Army logistics, and Army property book and accountability systems. Key personnel descriptions capable in performing effort. Technical data for all systems listed above are marked Distribution D, therefore data distribution will only be authorized to the Department of Defense (DoD) and its DoD contractors.
