- Description
- The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) is providing an update to the sources sought notice. The following changes to the scope of the effort are now in effect. JLCCTC TSS will change back to CBCSE to reflect the new scope of the effort. It is also the name of the official POR funding line. It was implied, inaccurately, that the contractor would need roughly 10,000 square feet of space in order to store equipment. However, it is closer to 1000-2000 square feet of space needed to manage equipment. CBCSE will no longer focus on training. JLCTCC Simulation software fielding activities to include end-to-end set up, test, train, transfer, and follow-up support will no longer be considered in this effort. Help Desk support activities will no longer be considered in this effort. Information Assurance and Vulnerability Assessment (IAVA) updates and distribution to supported sites will no longer be considered in this effort. It is anticipated that CBCSE will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) single award contract having a period of performance of five (5) years. Please see below for the changes to the Products and Services from the original Sources Sought Notice: (1)Common Hardware Platform (CHP) hardware and Commercial off the shelf (COTS) software license procurement.
