This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a (Commercial Solutions Proposal) CSP or a promise to issue an CSP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever.

Vendors are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this Clarification RFI is to inform industry of an update to the Government's acquisition strategy for the FAMM-P BAR program and to solicit feedback on the revised approach. Based on initial market research, the Government intends to bifurcate the FAMM-P BAR prototyping effort into separate acquisition cycles. 2.0 UPDATED ACQUISITION STRATEGY OVERVIEW FAMM-P BAR will be broken into separate acquisition cycles, which may result in multiple agreements.

Cycle 1 : Advanced Integration & Payloads (Immediate Need) Schedule: Immediate release and award pending approval and funding. Security Requirement: Active Top Secret / SCI Facility Clearance Level (FCL) required at the time of proposal submission. (Potential SAP requirements will be outlined in the final solicitation).
