Request for Information (RFI) for a Family of Affordable Mass Missiles – Beyond Adversary’s Reach (FAMM-BAR)

The Government seeks information on a single‑design munition that can be fielded in both palletized (long‑range strike from cargo aircraft) and lugged (fighter/ bomber carriage) configurations, and that is also adaptable for Army and Navy surface‑to‑surface employment. Respondents must describe their design philosophy and the trade‑offs required to achieve modularity across lugged/palletized kits, across air, ground, and maritime services, and to meet aerodynamic and size constraints for internal/external fighter mounting as well as ship‑board deployment. The solution must satisfy the performance envelope of ≈ 1,000 nm range, ≈ 0.7 Mach speed, palletized cargo‑aircraft launch, slow‑moving maritime targets, and include mid‑course navigation. Additionally, offer an analysis of unitary versus non‑unitary architectures, identifying any cost or performance risks, and demonstrate compliance with the criteria for an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement under 10 U.S.C. 4022. Respondents must also provide a manufacturing plan for a modular system capable of producing 1,000 warheads per year (with an ultimate goal of 2,000), a rough order‑of‑magnitude cost estimate for development and fly‑away production, a production schedule with quantity bands, the top three long‑lead‑item concerns, and a strategy for reliability, availability, maintainability (RAM), shelf life, sparing, and life‑cycle supply‑chain management. Submissions are limited to a 10‑page white paper (Microsoft‑Word compatible, 12‑point font, 1‑inch margins) that includes a company profile (name, address, PO C, contact information, NAICS 332993, DUNS, CAGE, employee count) and must be emailed to the designated point of contact.
