RFI - AMSS 5/10 Man Tent

The U.S. Army is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify Commercial‑Off‑The‑Shelf (COTS) or emerging technologies at Technology Readiness Level 7 or higher that can serve as the Arctic Mobility Sustainment System (AMSS) 5‑man Team and 10‑man Squad Arctic Shelter (AS). Respondents must submit a white paper of no more than ten pages—including a cover page with product name, manufacturer contact information and a photograph, an executive summary, and a detailed technical description of the shelter system, frame, staking, deployment concept, weight, packed and deployed dimensions, sleeping area, manufacturing capacity, scalability, and delivery timeline. The shelter must provide cold‑weather protection, be breathable, wind‑, water‑ and flame‑resistant, meet MIL‑STD 810‑H, allow rapid assembly/disassembly in ≤20 minutes (ideally ≤5 minutes) while soldiers wear arctic OCIE, include a stove stack, feature a low‑profile blackout design, and incorporate integrated visual signature‑management for concealment. Submissions are to be emailed to the listed points of contact (Raúl Lopez and Clinton McAdams) no later than 16 April 2026, 5 p.m. EDT, with the subject line “Arctic Mobility Sustainment System (AMSS) 5‑man Team and 10‑man Squad Arctic Shelter (AS).” Marketing brochures, test reports, or other extraneous materials will not be reviewed. Selected vendors may be invited to an Industry Day in June 2026 and could be asked to demonstrate capabilities at no cost; the Army anticipates a potential future production effort of more than 3,000 shelters.
