Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Only United States companies will be considered for contract award. For the B-2 Training System (TS), the Government is conducting market research to identify, as potential sources, companies that may possess the expertise and capabilities to competently and competitively respond to requirements to provide operations, maintenance, and sustainment (OM&S) support including: Contractor Logistics Support (CLS), Training System Support Center (TSSC), modifications/upgrades, courseware and instruction for a period of up to twelve (12) months (a base period of 6-months plus two, 3-month options). The B-2 TS consists of Aircrew Training System (ATS) and Maintenance Training System (MTS). The Government is currently contemplating the acquisition strategy for the B-2 TS re-compete action and this sources sought synopsis serves as market research to identify support services which may be available following the conclusion of the existing B-2 TS contract on 31 December 2017. Results of the market research will determine the approach for interim continued support. For this acquisition, potential sources must be able to design, develop, implement, test, install, and manage required concurrency, fidelity hardware/software upgrades. Concurrency upgrades match ATS and MTS capability to the weapon system and core trainer unique modifications and upgrades are improvements (e.g., due to obsolescence, training quality requirements, reliability requirements, etc.) to the ATSs and MTSs. The Government anticipates a FAR Part 15 contract. Potential sources must have the required personnel available with required Special Access Program (SAP) clearances and a Defense Security Services (DSS) accredited facility with physical security at the Secret Special Access Program level available for the B-2 Training System Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) to start work in the 1st Quarter of Calendar Year 2018.

It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement. Formal responses should be e-mailed to steven.godby@us.af.mil, david.earl@us.af.mil and sarah.chelgren-brooks.2@us.af.mil. REQUEST RESPONSES NLT COB 2 December 2016.
