The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has released the first Request for Proposal (RfP) related to the Modular Ground-Based Air Defence (GBAD) project.
“The objective is to explore potential system architectures and future solutions to implement the Key User Requirements,” says the agency. “The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) is executing the Modular GBAD Concept Stage on behalf of the participating Nations. The Agency, in cooperation with industry, will explore the matching of Nations’ requirements with state of the art technology to fulfil the challenges of interoperability between individual modules for both future and legacy GBAD systems.
“This Concept Study #1 is aimed at an initial identification of Modular GBAD architecture solutions. In order to promote innovation and maximize technical and operational value, Contractors will be selected based on “best value” criteria. Companies will be invited to submit their proposals before 10 January 2025.
“After a first evaluation aiming to select up to five compliant bids, the selected Contractors will be requested to produce a set of deliverables presenting in details their proposals of Modular GBAD system architectures. Subsequently, a second evaluation will take place in order to keep two Contractors in order to further define and specify their respective architectures and thus support the Modular GBAD Concept Stage via complementary Concept Studies and technical services.
“A Bidders’ Conference will be held on 25 November 2024 at NSPA Headquarters in Capellen (Luxembourg). The purpose of this Conference is to provide interested bidders with detailed information about the project, clarify any technical aspects of the scope, and answer questions to ensure that all participants have a thorough understanding of requirements and expectations.
