- Description
- Program Description This is a synopsis. This is not a solicitation. The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Project Manager for Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (PM CATT), Assistant Program Manager for Close Combat Tactical Trainer (APM CCTT) intend to solicit and award a single Indefinite- Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide non-personal technical support services for Post Deployment Software Support (PDSS). The CCTT is the first member of the CATT family of virtual simulators for collective training. It supports training of armor, mechanized infantry, cavalry units and recon units from platoon through battalion/squadron echelon, including staff. The primary training audience operates from both full-crew simulators and mock-up or real command posts. Simulators have sufficient fidelity for individuals and crews to accomplish their collective missions. There are multiple projects under CCTT which include concurrency upgrades, convoy training and a new Dismounted Soldier module. The PDSS for CCTT is responsible for providing all aspects of software support to CCTT and its subsystems in order to maintain its main mission of providing a virtual collective training capability. The Contractor shall perform system and software engineering, life cycle software support, testing, quality assurance, configuration management, replication, distribution, installation, training, and publications support. The Contractor shall also provide trained labor, tools and test equipment, and materials to maintain and support the CCTT PDSS equipment (i.e. M1A2, M2A3, M2A2, FISTV, After Action Review (AAR) workstations, Semi-Automated Forces (SAF) workstations, Computer Generated Forces (CGF) computers, and others) for PDSS technical support services and other PM CATT contractor personnel performing work on the CCTT program or other Government contracts. This effort in the future may include the PDSS for the Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT), Synthetic Environment Core (SE-Core) database production capabilities and other PM CATT programs that require PDSS activities. Acquisition Approach The Government anticipates a single IDIQ contract 8(a) set aside with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Time and Materials (T&M) Task Orders for technical support services. The base period of performance (PoP) is one (1) year from contract award with four (4) one year option periods. THIS ACTION IS LIMITED TO COMPETITION BY VENDORS THAT ARE CERTIFIED BY THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (SBA) UNDER THE SBA 8(a) PROGRAM. Responses Requested Contractors are requested to provide a capabilities statement not exceeding ten (10) pages, including the cover sheet. The brief can be either a document or a Power Point presentation and all pages must be numbered. If a contractor chooses to use tables, graphs or pictures in the document they too must be labeled and marked accordingly. The cover page should include the companys name, address, and points of contact including phone numbers and email addresses. The Contractors should, at a minimum, possess the knowledge and experience to provide lab facility support which includes system and software engineering, life cycle software support, testing, quality assurance, configuration management, replication, distribution, installation, training, and publications support. Furthermore, contractors responding to this notice should answer the following questions: Due to the delays that sometimes occur in the DFAS system, do you have enough resources where you can go without payment for 60 to 90 days? In terms of this procurement, how long will it take you to appropriately posture yourself to acquire the required material and personnel? Reproducible electronic media compatible with MS Office 2007 transmittals are acceptable. Contractors shall submit their responses by October 7, 2009, no later than (NLT) 3:00 p.m, EST to Angela Chang, Technical Engineer, at Angela.Chang@us.army.mil Disclaimer This notice does not constitute an invitation for bids or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and is not a commitment by the U.S. Government to procure subject products.
