LMI is pushing back against its elimination from the competition to get on a $240 million contract to support the Army Futures Command.
LMI is challenging the evaluation of proposals for a $240 million contract that supports the Army Futures Command.
The firm is alleging that the evaluation was not done properly. If the Army had done it right, then the company should have been picked for the Army Futures and Concepts Center Mission Support Services vehicle, or FCC.
Booz Allen Hamilton, CAE, Janus Research Group and Valiant won their seats in July with 15 total bids submitted to the Army.
The Army Futures Command's priorities are technologies and concepts that need to be developed to ensure the Army can dominate the battlefield in 2035 and beyond.
Some of the technologies that Army Futures Command is focused on include virtual and augmented reality, multi-domain operations, and multi-national interoperability.
The FCC vehicle has five task areas: capability development support; experimentation and evaluation support; synergy support; IT and information management support; and Army Futures Command modernization process and futures development process.
LMI filed its protest on Aug. 3 and expects a decision from the Government Accountability Office by Nov. 12. The company didn’t respond to a request for comment.
