The Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal hereby issues the following Sources Sought Notice as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to produce the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) for the United States Army. The scope of the contract includes production, tooling, engineering change proposals, and supporting activities of GMLRS rockets including unitary, alternative warhead (AW), and extended range (ER) rockets. Disclaimer: This Sources Sought Notice is for informational purposes only. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), Invitation for Bid (IFB), or Request for Quote (RFQ). It does not constitute solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. No funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. Any information submitted by respondents to this technical description is strictly voluntary. Responses will not be returned to the responder. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future RFQ, IFB, or RFP. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Government-Wide Point of Entry (GPE). It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor the GPE for additional information pertaining to this requirement. Background: The GMLRS provides field artillery units with lethal, precise, surface-to-surface fires against point and area targets. Fired from M270-series Multiple Launch Rocket System and M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System launcher platforms, the GMLRS Unitary utilizes a 200-pound class payload available in two primary variants. The unitary warhead executes precision strikes with minimal collateral damage, while the AW disperses pre-formed penetrators to achieve area effects compliant with current cluster munition policies. Additionally, the ER-GMLRS doubles the system's maximum range while carrying either the unitary or AW payload. Required Capabilities: The U.S. Government (USG) requests white papers from industry detailing their capability, experience, and technical approach to produce 19,002 GMLRS rocket variants annually, with initial deliveries starting in February 2030. Submissions must outline the most efficient and cost-effective methods for achieving this production rate. Additionally, respondents should assess the risks and benefits of various production options and recommend contracting strategies that maximize value to the USG while minimizing the contractor's cost risk. Upon request, and subject to Strategic and Operational Rockets and Missiles Security approval, the USG will provide integrator-level specifications and drawings from the technical data package. If your organization has the potential capacity to perform these contract services, please provide the following information in a capabilities statement: Co…
