- Description
- Synopsis: The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) has a requirement for the recompete of Synthetic Environment Core Common Virtual Environment Management (SE Core CVE Management). This is to announce PEO STRIs intent to award a single source award Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract which will also include other type CLINs. The estimated value of this award is approximately $222M, with a period of performance of 12 months base plus four 12 month options for a total of 5 years. SE Core enables an interoperable CVE for simulation and training programs. SE Core focuses on delivering software and limited hardware to enable a CVE for Warfighters to train for full spectrum operations, as opposed to fielding large quantities of hardware. The objective of SE Core is to facilitate a virtual training environment supporting mission focused unit training that approximates the changing contemporary operational environment. Department of Defense (DoD) Training Transformation (T2), Army Training Strategies, Army Modernization Programs, Joint/Army Training Doctrine, Joint/Army Battle Command Training Support, and Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) require a fully integrated LVC Training Environment (TE). The SE Core program is the Armys virtual component of the LVC TE. SE Core will develop and sustain the Armys CVE which links current and future virtual simulation devices into an interoperable full spectrum training capability. The CVE will connect to gaming training enablers and the live and constructive environments for an integrated LVC TE capability. SE Core is comprised of complementary efforts for developing the CVE that facilitates fair fight interoperability for virtual system and non-system Training Aids Devices Simulators and Simulations (TADSS). The program develops operational training terrain databases, models, and simulation architecture connectivity to meet Warfighter operational training requirements. The terrain and model development efforts provide non-proprietary, open format, and image generator independent CVE deliverables. The simulation architecture provides an integrated training network. These efforts, linking current and future virtual training devices/simulations, enables the Army to execute combined arms and joint training, as well as mission planning and rehearsals at home station and at deployed locations. Since SE Cores system development and demonstration phase, requirements for training and SE Core have grown. SE Core will continue to produce terrain databases, common moving models, the virtual simulation architecture, changes to OneSAF, and common virtual components such as but not limited to After Action Review, Interoperability Gateway, Scenario Generation Tool, and C4I Adapter. New requirements include but are not limited to: CVE capability management for system and non-system TADSS, mission planning and rehearsal visualization capability, acquisition of terrain source data, development of database centers, SE Core to TADSS plug-in expansion, sound and smell representation, influencing semi-automated forces enhancements and integration, exercise preparation and execution capabilities and definitions for the terms interoperability and fair fight. It is anticipated that the SE Core CVE Management competition will be conducted on an unrestricted full and open competitive basis with best-value tradeoff evaluation procedures. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Class Code is 541512. The small business size standard is $25M (this is only applicable to small business Offerors who wish to participate in this full and open competition). The Government anticipates that the SE Core CVE Management solicitation will result in a five year single-award ID/IQ contract. The historical contracts which are still ongoing are as follows: N61339-00-D-0710, Delivery Order 0039 SAIC N61339-01-D-0725, Delivery Order 0006 CAE USA PLEASE NOTE THE RESPONSE DATE LISTED ON THIS DOCUMENT IS ONLY USED FOR REMOVAL OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT AFTER THE REQUIRED PERIOD. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ANY RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. Draft RFP: The draft RFP W900KK-10-R-0004 will be posted today in Fedbizopps under the Special Notice section. The Government will not, under any circumstances, pay for Bid and Proposal (B&P) costs for Offerors who choose to prepare proposals in response to issuance of an RFP.
