Description

INTRODUCTION: This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) notice for the Arctic Mobility Sustainment System (AMSS) described below. IMPORTANT NOTICE: This RFI notice is being issued for the purpose of determining market capability of sources and assessing industries' current capabilities in specific technological areas. This does not constitute an Invitation for Bid (IFB), a Request for Proposal (RFP), a Request for Quote (RFQ) or an indication that the Government will contract for any of the items and/or services contained in this notice. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS EXIST AT THIS TIME. Any information provided does not constitute a proposal but will be considered an exchange of capabilities and ideas. The Government will not be responsible for any cost incurred in furnishing this information or potential participation in the event. This RFI does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that the government will take procurement action in this matter. All information received in response to this notice that is marked Proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses will be reviewed, and candidate technologies of interest will be invited to participate in an Industry Day event in June 2026 to demonstrate and show the technology based on information provided in response to this RFI. Additional field evaluations may be completed. The due date for responses to this RFI is 16 April 2026, 5pm EST . BACKGROUND: The Arctic Mobility Sustainment System (AMSS) addresses the need for equipment to operate effectively in the Arctic environment, where extreme cold, challenging terrain, and long distances require specialized capabilities. AMSS is being developed as a system that enables dismounted Soldiers to transport sustainment and survivability equipment essential for 72-hour operations. Current arctic equipment is outdated, unit-procured, and often in disrepair, failing to optimize Soldier mobility and survivability. The AMSS mitigates these gaps by improving mobility, reducing logistical strain, and enhancing Soldier safety in hazardous cold weather environments. Product Manager Force Sustainment Systems (PdM FSS) is evaluating solutions to address gaps in legacy systems to include, but not limited to, rapid deployment and strike, system weight, equipment modernization, and system durability. Information received from this RFI may ultimately result in requests for equipment manufacturers to demonstrate their capabilities at no cost or risk to the Government. This RFI will help inform the Government's acquisition strategy for a potential future production effort that could exceed 3,000 systems. Requirements: Mature technologies (TRL 7+) and products that can provide the following capabilities are of interest: (See TRL definitions on attached document) Arctic Transport System with Cover Shall be towable by soldiers while on skis, snowshoes, or on foot, and be compatible with existing soldier eq…
