UIPE ObjectiveUIPE Objective

The objective of programs initiated from UIPE is to fully integrate CBRN/TIM protection into an ensemble, identical in fit and form to the combat uniform (including mask/helmet

integration and protective boots and gloves) . . .

The UIPE goal is to increase warfighter operational performance in a CBRN environment through critical

examination of threat data, emerging technologies, and user tradespace while seeking to balance factors like protection,

heat stress, durability, antimicrobial properties, launderability, self–detoxification, protection time, etc…

Accordingly, UIPE will provide incremental technologies with military utility that are modular in their function, and are an

improvement in form and fit over current systems….

UIPE IUIPE I11 System Description System Description

• UIPE I1 is a Single Supplemental System Providing CBRN Individual Protection to the Warfighter through a Reduction in Physiological and Psychological Burdens Associated with the Weight, Bulk, Thermal Strain, and Encumbrance of Wearing CBRN Protective Gear

• UIPE I1 Capabilities will Include: – Protection from CB Warfare Agents to Include Retention of

Protective Capability after Exposure to Environmental Contaminants

– Suitability of Wear while Performing Combat Operations on Land or at Sea, in Multiple Climates, with Minimal Impact on Combat Effectiveness

• Ability to Tailor Materiel Solution (“Toolbox Concept”) to Optimize Protection Based on Mission and Threat

– Compatibility with Current and Developmental CBRN Protective Ensemble Components and Individual Combat Equipment

UIPE IUIPE I11 Program Strategy Program Strategy

As the first increment of the UIPE, UIPE I1 supports a broader evolutionary acquisition strategy as an enabling material

technology and risk mitigation for future UIPE increments…

Flexibility to accelerate fielding of the UIPE I1 to meet warfighter needs through the use of Modified COTS products or Non-Developmental Items (NDI) is key to the overall strategy…

The intent is to field a UIPE I1 capability that reduces thermal and physiological burden over current CBRN garments.

Trade-offs in CBRN protection may be considered to attain thermal burden reduction. These capability improvements will

enable increased mission time and reduced risk of heat casualties in the operational environment.

Contracting – Proposal EvaluationContracting – Proposal Evaluation

Key Points:• Technical evaluation will use information provided in the proposal,

and information generated from Government testing• A company with no Government past performance will receive a

“neutral” rating• Technical, Management evaluations will be adjectival (Outstanding,

Acceptable, Unacceptable) with Risk Assessment • Past performance will receive a High/Med/Low risk assessment • Price evaluation will be for fairness, reasonableness, and price

competitiveness and will NOT be given an adjectival or risk rating• Subcontracting Plan – Per FAR 19.705• A rating of “Unacceptable” in any subfactor means “Unacceptable”

at the proposal level• Government will use TRADEOFFS TO DETERMINE BEST VALUE
