R23G
Rapid Response - 3rd Generation
R2-3G is the U. S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Rapid Response Program. It is a five year contract available to Department of Defense (DOD) and other Federal Agencies to provide rapid access to products and services to research, development, upgrade, install, fabricate, test, operate, maintain and support new and existing platforms, systems, subsystems. Non-Federal agencies may use the R2-3G contract if the work is within scope and Federal funds are used to fund the effort. R2-3G is CECOM's primary Homeland Defense Security contract.
Program Objective
Government program managers, forced to deal with deteriorating inventories and shrinking budgets, require rapid means of accessing competent industry resources without the traditional acquisition lead time. These system, platform and item managers require rapid access to a broad range of technical service and equipment providers and integrators as the complex Government equipment they manage require attention during all phases of the equipment lifecycle.
Scope
The Army's Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) CR2 is deliberately broad in scope to allow for the greatest flexibility in responding to federal contracting needs. Every type of engineering support service is available providing maximum breadth to accommodate the entire federal inventory. AP&SS offers the capability to outsource to vendors and suppliers beyond team members in order to provide the desired service to meet customer requirements.
Type of Contract
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with the option to issue either Time & Materials (T&M), Cost Reimbursable (CR), or Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Task Orders. Task security (DD Form 254) and delivery schedules will be negotiated separately for each Task Order.
Period of Performance
(5) Five Years, No Option Periods (July 29, 2010 – July 28, 2015)
