This is what the Government website says. It sounds nothing like what you posted. You may have added your own inference.

The revised strategy would consist of a two step procurement using a competitive down selection technique between steps. Step 1 would be for Performance Testing of candidate systems and may result in the award of multiple contracts depending on the technical merits of proposals submitted and the availability of funding. Step 2 would be a separate competition and result in the award of a single contract for LRIP, OT&E, Full Rate Production, Deployment, Sustainment and Disposal. To be considered for the Step 2 award, an offeror would need to demonstrate a design maturity and data set equivalent to that of Step 1 contractors. Additional information regarding the two step procurement will be made available in a draft solicitation scheduled for posting in the first quarter of FY2013
