- Description
- The PEO STRI Program Manager for Constructive Simulations (CONSIM) is preparing a 12 month Sole Source bridge contract for the Battle Command Training Branch (BCTB) program based at Ft. Hood, TX. This program consists of providing professional training services to Soldiers at Ft. Hood and other designated sites located on U.S. Army facilities and bases. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Fort Hood BCTB plays a critical role in supporting the Commander's overall training strategy and serves as the Commander's single point of contact and Subject Matter Expert (SME) for all Battle Command (BC) training and training support at home station. We enable both individual and collective BC training and rely on the extensive use of simulations across all phases of training from individual operator/leader to collective training for platoon through Corps. Currently, the BCTB provides the following BC training capabilities: Individual operator and leader training on ABCS/C4ISR systems Battle Staff Training and Integration (BN/BDE) STAFFEX, CPX, MRX support (exercise design, SIM/STIM, network, etc) Provide backbone and connectivity for BDE/BN CDRs to create a Live-Virtual-Constructive-Gaming environment Senior Leader Training sessions on BC systems (executive overview) CO/TRP/BTRY and below collective training ACQUISITION APPROACH: This contract with Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems will be a bridge effort to support the procurement until a new competitively awarded contract can be executed. The Government anticipates that the program requirement will be fulfilled via a Firm Fixed Price contract in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 16.202. The Government intends to pursue a sole source award to Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems, under the authority of FAR6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), "services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements." Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems currently performs the same program requirements to be provided in the bridge under Task Order 0007 from the STOC I contract N61339-00-D-0712. The current STOC I Task Order 0007 expires on 22 September 2011. The anticipated period of performance is a 12 month base effort with no options. The Government anticipates that the program requirements will be fulfilled by a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with Time and Material (T&M) Column Line Item Numbers (CLINS) for overtime and travel. ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE: Approximately $21M RESPONSES REQUESTED: This notice is provided to verify that no other sources can meet the requirement for this particular bridge effort. NOTICE: Contractors are advised that a determination by the Government not to compete this effort based on any responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government, in accordance with FAR Part 6. 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. No funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this notification. The Government will use the information received to determine whether other sources are available and capable of satisfying this requirement. Contracts POC:Douglas W.
