NIE 14.2 Sources Sought Review and Timeline Kim Bowen Division Chief Integration Planning System of Systems Integration Directorate
The Army's Integration Team
Agile Process Overview
• Army
identifies and
defines gaps
and needs
based on
multiple data
sources
• Army
releases an
NIE Sources
Sought and
Gov Call for
Mature
Solutions
• Potential
Candidates go
through Lab
Testing to assess
capability and
performance
expectations
• Funding applied
at this Phase as
applicable
Decision Point 1 determines
Potential Solutions based on five
assessment criteria. Industry is
contacted on next step.
Decision Point 2 Recommended
Approved Selection List of who will
participate at NIE. Industry contacted.
• Selected
Candidates are
assigned a
sponsor who
guides them
through the prep
and rehearsal for
the NIE event
approximately 180
days.
• Selected
Candidates
participate in NIE
• Industry is
contacted within
60 days in
conjunction with
final NIE report.
• Army performs
analysis of the NIE Final
Reports
• Recommendations to
where solutions could fit
in Formations/ Echelons
• How capability will be
used
• Determine
procurement and fielding
way forward

For Your System to Succeed in the NIE… …Responding to Critical Dates is a Must
Feedback is not a “Criticism” of your system. It is meant to help you understand what the Army observed of your technology to include strengths and weaknesses
Take Aways for Industry
Awareness of The Agile Process
A tool for rapid decisions by informed Senior Leadership
Designed as a step by step process through phases
Helps the Army fill significant Gaps and Objectives
Provides fairness in the selection of systems entering NIE
How to submit a White Paper
The information you provide is how we assess your readiness to come to the NIE
Clearly identify the gap your system will address
Insure you can meet key dates and equipment quantities
Submit a complete package on time
Check FedBizOps for updates and clarifications
Two way Communication is Critical
Face to Face Meetings
-Systems Under Evaluation Technical Information Meeting(SUE TIM) is the SME review of the White Paper that contributes to a mutual agreement of what comes to the NIE
-The Bull Pen is a comprehensive information exchange covering critical topics from architecture
design to spectrum management
Virtual Meetings
-Use for rapid dissemination of information (Schedule, Equipment, FSR Support, Updates)

Capability Set Acquisition
• REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
– Army is dedicated to competitive environment and has taken action to build a Request for Proposal process for soliciting industry participation in NIE and establishing competitive production line items for future ordering opportunity post a Decision Point 3 to field a capability.
– Proposals initially go through a two-stage evaluation • Stage I is a paper review of proposal for technical acceptability (offerors found to be technically
acceptable in Stage I move to Stage II)
• Stage II is a black box assessment for product technical acceptability and evaluated prices (Offeror(s) providing best-value or offeror(s) technically acceptable low price are given a contract for participation NIE.
– RFPs will result in competitive contract awards of either a single contract or Multiple Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity contracts for a gap. Pricing will be fixed at Not-To-Exceed prices at initial award. Post NIE orders can be competed among MATO contract holders by the responsible PM on either a best value or low price technically acceptable basis.
• Post NIE proposals will be solicited from NIE contract holders. Source Selection criteria will be established by the assigned PM and product performance in NIE will serve as an evaluation factor.
– The Army is also soliciting PMs to incorporate NIE participation in to their planned acquisitions.
• Other potential methods include Engineering Change Proposal (ECP)/Modification Work Order (MWO) to an existing Program of Record or to utilize an existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, such as the Common Hardware Systems contract, to procure systems within their scope.
• The Army will maintain flexibility with methods of procurement.
• The assigned PM will be responsible for determining the most appropriate procurement vehicle for supporting a CS
RFP Status To Date
• A RFP for Vehicle Tactical Router participation in NIE 14.1 was issued in
Dec 2012 resulting in the award of six Multiple Award Task Order (MATO)
contracts on 14 Jun 2013.
• With each contract awarded an order was issued for participating in NIE 14.1.
Contractors will loan their equipment and support integration, training, and
product maintenance for NIE
• Additional orders for production units may be solicited among MATO holders
for post NIE 14.1 requirements = future NIE architecture or CS fielding
• CS fielding procurement would be the responsibility of the assigned PM not
SOSE&I.
• A RFP for an Interoperable Voice Client Software solution was released
on 22 May 2013 and closed on 21 Jun 2013. Award of a single contract
for participation in NIE 14.2 with options for production licenses is
anticipated.
• SOSE&I is collaborating with PEOs and PMs to identify and develop a
viable gap RFP candidate for 15.1.
Continued NIE Growth
NIE - Future NIE - Past
The NIE process continues to
evolve including the incorporation
of Foreign Vendor Opportunities
Foreign Participation will reinforce
competition within the Agile
Process and NIE Acquisition effort
