- Description
- Description: US Army PEO STRI Project Manager for Training Devices (PM TRADE), Product Manager for Live Training Systems (LTS) anticipates numerous live training requirements for the study, design, development, testing, qualification, production, integration, training, fielding and support of aviation related instrumentation. This instrumentation includes rotary wing aircraft instrumentation, ground instrumentation and aviation instrumentation integration into existing and future instrumentation systems and ranges. This work will support the full range of aviation live training requirements (Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground, Ground-to-Air) from individual training to collective training at the Maneuver Combat Training Centers (MCTCs), aviation unit home stations, and ranges throughout the world. The Government intends to award a single award ID/IQ contract in FY 2009 with a five year period of performance (one year base with four one-year options) with a Not-To-Exceed value of approximately 300 million USD. The award of this contract will be made on a Best-Value basis. See Aviation contract Statement Of Objectives (SOO) for more information regarding desired capabilities. The Government anticipates using a PM Apache requirement for the procurement of two Longbow Tactical Engagement Simulation System (LBA TESS) battalion sets as the basis for award of the Aviation contract. The Government believes that the capabilities required to design, develop, test, qualify, manufacture, field and support LBA TESS represents the core capabilities that would be required by a vendor through the life of this Aviation contract. It is the intention of the Government to own the Technical Data Packages (TDP) for systems developed within the Aviation contract. The LBA TESS equipment procured must provide the same or better functionality as the currently fielded LBA TESS. The draft LBA TESS requirements are summarized in paragraphs 1 -3 below. Contractors shall submit a capability statement that provides the information requested in paragraphs 1a, 2a, and 3a of this document. 1. Aircraft Instrumentation Work requested will include the study, design, development, testing, qualification, safety engineering, information assurance, production, integration, training, fielding and support of aircraft instrumentation or upgrade of existing aircraft instrumentation for mostly rotary wing and potentially fixed wing aircraft. The instrumentation will enable aircraft position/location, aircraft status (alive/killed), aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) operation and status, weapons engagements, casualty assessment and other aviation live training information to be collected, processed, transmitted and recorded in near real time within existing MCTC, unit home station, and range instrumentation systems. Aircraft that may require existing and future platform instrumentation work include AH-64D Longbow Apache, OH-58D Kiowa Warrior (KW), UH-72A Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), UH-60 Blackhawk, and CH-47 Chinook. Additionally, aircraft instrumentation work on any fixed wing or rotary wing Department of Defense (DoD) aviation aircraft is possible. 1a. Contractors shall describe their capabilities related to the study, design, development, testing, qualification, safety engineering, information assurance, production, integration, training, fielding and support of aviation instrumentation. Additionally, the contractor shall describe the aviation instrumentation that they have developed and integrated onto aircraft platforms. Contractor shall describe instrumentation maturity (prototype or production), capabilities, quantities produced, locations operated, maintenance support provided and list air worthiness and/or supplemental type certificate status. Contractors may submit additional information that describes their strengths in developing aircraft instrumentation to support aviation live training. 2. Ground Instrumentation. Work requested will include the study, design, development, testing, qualification, safety engineering, information assurance, production, integration, training, fielding and support of ground instrumentation and/or upgrade of existing ground instrumentation to support aviation live training requirements. Ground player/target location, status (alive/killed), weapons engagements, casualty assessment and other live training information are required to be collected, processed, transmitted and recorded in near real time within MCTC, aviation unit home station, and range instrumentation systems. 2a. Contractors shall describe their capabilities related to the study, design, development, testing, qualification, safety engineering, information assurance, production, integration, training, fielding and support of ground instrumentation. Contractors shall describe the ground instrumentation that they have developed and fielded to support live training. Contractors shall describe the ground instrumentation maturity (prototype, LRIP, or production), capabilities, quantities produced, and locations that their ground instrumentation is currently operated. Contractors may submit additional information that describes their strengths in developing target instrumentation to support aviation live training. 3. Ground Instrumentation System Integration. Work requested may include the integration of aviation live training capabilities into existing and future ground instrumentation systems and ranges. Ground instrumentation systems may be upgraded to receive, process, display and record aviation live training information at the MCTCs, unit home stations and ranges. 3a. Contractors shall describe their capabilities to integrate aviation live training capabilities into existing ground instrumentation systems and ranges. The contractor shall identify the ground instrumentation systems and that they can currently interact with and describe the capabilities they have integrated into the ground instrumentation system. Contractors shall also describe their ground instrumentation components and their capabilities and describe how these capabilities would support aviation live training and/or gunnery. Contractors may submit additional information that describes their strengths integrating aviation live training capabilities into existing ground instrumentation systems. 4. Contractors shall indicate if they are a large or small business (if small, please indicate any applicable socio-economic status such as Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), 8(a), etc.), if they are interested in participating as the prime contractor or as a subcontractor, and if they are planning to team with other companies for this contract. 5. Contractors electing to respond should contact Felix R Marrero, Contract Specialist by electronic mail at felix.r.marrero@us.army.mil not later than 1600 (EST), December 11, 2008 indicating their capabilities. Contractors shall submit a capability statement that provides the information requested in paragraphs 1a, 2a, and 3a of this document. Capability statements should not exceed twenty (20) pages inclusive of the cover sheet. This is not a request for proposal. No additional information is available at this time. Vendors with questions should contact Felix Marrero.
