Description

USACECOM anticipates soliciting a sole-source contract to DRS (formerly Sierra Research) in 2QFY04 for a seven year, requirements type contract with firm fixed price, time and material, and cost plus fixed fee contract line items to conduct Technical Engineering Service activities for the AN/TPQ-45, Aircraft Survivability Equipment Trainer (ASET)IV, NSN 6920-01-347-1083. The ASET IV system consists of a suite of six High Mobility Multi Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) which have been modified to simulate a composite air defense battery consisting of Radio Frequency (RF)Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM), Infra Red (IR) SAMs and Anti Aircraft Artillery (AAA). Each suite consists of one Command and Control Communications (CCC)Vehicle, one RFSAM simulator vehicle, two IRSAM simulator vehicles and two AAA simulator vehicles. The AAA vehicle which was originally fielded has been modified into a dual-mode vehicle and has been renamed the AAA(2) simulator vehicle. A total of eight ASET IV systems are currently in the Army inventory. There are systems at: National Training Center, Fort Irwin, CA (3), Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, LA (1), Combat Maneuver Training Center, Hohenfels, Germany(1), Fort Hood, TX (1), and Fort Campbell, KY (1). The eighth syst em will be fielded to Fort Bragg, NC (1) in 2004. The ASET IV is used to create a high-fidelity electronic warfare training environment in which helicopter aircrews can train in the tactics, techniques and procedures of their Aircraft Survivability Equipm ent (ASE). These engineering efforts are a continuation of on-going efforts which may include but are not limited to: a. Complete fielding (to include training of operators and maintenance personnel)of a suite of ASET IV vehicles to Fort Bragg, NC. b. Design and complete corrective actions required to permit fielding of previously built RFSAM(2)modification kits. c. Field (to include training of operators and maintenance personnel) the RFSAM(2) modification kits once the corrective action identified in B above have been completed. d. Identify, conduct qualification testing of and field IR night vision cameras to replace IR cameras previously acquired. The current IR cameras are now obsolete and no repair capability for them exists. e. Conduct first a rticle testing and field the previously built IRSAM(2) modification kit. f. Conduct analyses, design, fabricate and field (to include training of operators and maintenance personnel) a search and acquisition radar modification kit to replace the radar cu rrently installed on the Command and Control Communications Vehicle. g. Conduct analyses, design, fabricate and field (to include training of operators and maintenance personnel)non-line of sight tactical engagement system modification kits which interope rate with tactical engagement systems currently installed and planned for Army aircraft. There is a potential requirement to interoperate with target engagement systems in a joint, ie, multi-service environment. h. Conduct engineering/technical studies and analyses to characterize modifications needed to meet new requirements or address obsolescence/sustainability issues. i. Design, fabricate and field modification kits needed to implement modifications identified in H above. The estimated ceiling val ue of this procurement will be $31.5M. The US Army does not possess an adequate technical data package to support this system. Potential offerors are requested to submit a statement of their interest along with a brief (up to 4 pages) description of thei r proposed approach and experience with comparable systems within 21 days of the publication of this announcement. Persons who wish to make comments or ask questions related to this announcement or organizations who wish to express their interest in this acquisition should respond to USACECOM, ATTN: AMSEL-AC-CC-CC, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703 or via email to regina.venezia@mail1.monmouth.army.mil Original Point o f Contact: Regina Venezia, USACECOM, ATTN: AMSEL-AC-CC-CC, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703 Email any questions to POC regina.venezia@mail1.monmouth.army.mil
