Small Arms Maintenance Shelters (SAMS)

Synopsis: Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) intends to award a sole source contract to AAR Mobility Systems, 201 Haynes Street, Cadillac, MI to procure four (4) Small Arms Maintenance Shelters (SAMS). MCSC has fielded thirteen (13) electro-optical complexes (EOCs) to which six (6) shelter variations marry. Overall, more than 125 AAR shelters have been fielded in the Marine Corps. The SAMS platform can operate as a stand-alone shelter or can be integrated without alteration to the existing EOCs. As the SAMS developer and sole producer, AAR alone has proprietary rights to the Mobile Expandable Container Configuration (MECC) shelter configuration which makes up 80% of the SAMS platform, and they maintain the manufacturing specifications required for the shelter to be integrated to the government provided equipment trailers. This contract will not be providing a solution to a new capability shortfall but will provide inventory to an increase in the authorization requirement due to current contingency operations. The point of contact is Vicki Warner at [email protected]. This is NOT a Request for Proposals or Capability Statements and does NOT constitute any commitment by the government. Contracting Office Address: Marine Corps Systems Command, PG-13 Infantry Weapons Systems (IWS), 2200 Lester Street, Quantico VA 22134-6050
