- Description
- Title: Common Driver Trainer (CDT) Contract Vehicle: At this time a final acquisition strategy has not been determined. This document is also being posted on PEOSTRI Business Opportunity Portal(STRIBOP). Brief Summary: The Government is providing Industry with a second opportunity to review and provide comments on the CDT program. Due to comments received from Industry on the initial documentation released under the PEO STRI Business Opportunity Portal (STRI BOP), Request for Information (RFI) STOC II-11-KOV-0073, a number of program documents have been revised and supplemented. Individual comments/questions submitted under STOC II-11-KOV-0073 will not be answered. The purpose of this RFI is to provide additional information, conduct additional market research to determine business and technology capabilities of industry contractors, and find interested sources for a potential CDT contract. The CDT contract will be a follow on to the current CDT training system product line that will reuse and/or extend the existing product line to focus on meeting the needs of multiple programs and target systems that transcend multiple platforms and developers. The CDT product line is defined as a set of software and hardware intensive systems sharing a common, managed set of features that satisfy the specific needs of the driver training missions. The current CDT training systems were developed from a common set of core assets. This common set of core assets will need to be extended and/or reused to: Meet the requirements for new and existing families of vehicles Meet the needs and requirements of the user training community Provide for technical refresh due to obsolescence throughout the lifecycle of all CDT systems while maintaining compatibility Meet supportability requirements Interested sources are invited to provide a letter of interest and a capability statement to describe how they would produce and deliver the next generation of CDT system variants. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Project Manager for Ground Combat Tactical Trainers (PM GCTT) has a requirement for a CDT to support the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) School with initial driver training and unit commands with driver sustainment training. PM GCTT's intent is to award a contract for up to 5 years in FY13. This contract will provide the mechanism to procure driver trainers that satisfy the needs of different military communities in wheeled, tracked or specialty vehicles based on existing validated requirements. The CDT variants shall train all identified driving tasks as required for each vehicle including individual and/or collective tasks up through platoon level tasks. The CDT variants shall also include the capability to train students to operate major appended subsystems during institutional and sustainment training. Appended subsystems may include, but are not limited to approved major system add-ons (e.g. plows, commander's station, gunner's station) based on the variant critical training requirements. The CDT variants shall enable training in critical operator or crew tasks that can be repetitively trained in a simulator environment. These training systems will need to be configurable to the variants of that family of vehicles. and can also vary within the base CDT configuration, (i.e., 0 degrees of freedom (DOF) to 6 DOF motion systems). ACQUISITION APPROACH: At this time the Government is still developing the final acquisition strategy for the CDT, but anticipates a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract awarded on a Best Value basis.
