- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Product Manager for Ground Combat Tactical Trainer (PM GCTT) has a requirement to provide software upgrades for both the fielded Image Generators (IGs) in the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) system and the IGs purchased under the CCTT Concurrency effort, to support the Concurrency fielding scheduled for March 2015. The software upgrades shall support the M1A1 FEP, M1A1 SA, M1A2 SEPV2 and upcoming M2 module configurations developed under the CCTT Concurrency effort. The software upgrades shall provide support for ownship models, reticles and other critical CCTT Concurrency based enhancements. The software updates shall allow all CCTT manned module systems, to include RVS/RVTT, to continue to operate on a common IG solution. As a result, the Government intends to procure the following requirements: Software upgrades, installation and testing of software to support the Concurrency effort for: oAll fielded CCTT M1 and M2 modules oAll fielded CCTT AAR's associated with the M1 and M2 modules oAll 3, 9, 10, and 11 channel IG systems purchased under the Concurrency effort Software maintenance license Continued software support during Concurrency fielding O&M training for Camp Lejeune Technical manual updates Information Assurance (IA) support Development for Windows 7 ACQUISITION APPROACH: The Government anticipates awarding a new Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Delivery Order (DO) to Rockwell Collins Simulation and Training Solutions, LLC (RC-STS) under PEO STRI's Omnibus Contract II (STOC II), W900KK-09-D-0350. RC-STS is the only company that can successfully perform this effort as they have the relevant on-going CCTT and RVTT experience with a proven, fielded EPX-50 design that meets the CCTT IG upgrade and the CCTT RVTT IG production requirements. The EPX-50 software and hardware, developed and owned by RC-STS, is fully integrated, tested and fielded with the CCTT baseline software. The reuse of the existing EPX-50 design will reduce program risk, life cycle cost and schedule to ensure a quality end product. It is crucial, in order to maintain training objectives, that the IG software upgrades be fully integrated, tested and delivered into a common solution across the CCTT family of systems in conjunction with the March 2015 concurrency fielding. This order will be issued on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), quote mark Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized. quote mark ESTIMATED ACQUISITION DOLLAR VALUE: Approximately $3M PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE/DELIVERY: Delivery of the interim IG software upgrade package is due three months after contract award. Delivery of the fieldable IG software upgrade package is due no later than December 1st, 2014.

The Government will use any information received by the closing date of this notice to determine whether other sources are available and capable to satisfy this requirement.
