- Description
- This is the Update to the SOW that is being added to the Current Delivery Order (W900KK-09-D-0314 DO 0018) for the TC 3-20.31 Instructional Subsystem Updates. NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT: Market Research is being conducted to verify that no other sources can meet the requirement to develop, integrate, and install the Training Circular (TC) 3-20.31 doctrinal upgrades on the Abrams M1A2 SEP V2 AGTS and the M1A1 C-AGTS systems. Interested sources are invited to provide their company's capability statement to support this program as described in this Sources Sought program description, acquisition approach, and delivery schedule as described herein. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) has been the sole source, prime contractor since the inception of the Abrams AGTS program competitively awarded in 1994, and for all subsequent upgrades and improvements to the Abrams AGTS and its derivatives. The Abrams AGTS upgrades and improvements are based on a proprietary system design developed at private expense by LM RMS and 10 U.S.C. 2320(a)(2)(F)(i) precludes the Department of Defense from making release or sale of proprietary technical data a condition of contracting with the Government. The Government possesses only Limited Purpose Data Rights, with Restricted Data Rights on some software components. The Manufacturing Technical Data Package (TDP), which includes manufacturing drawings, hardware technical data, crew station molds, and runtime software, is not owned by the Government. Product Manager for Ground Combat Tactical Trainers (PdM GCTT) has a requirement to upgrade the Abrams AGTS instructional subsystem from the previous Field Manual (FM) 3-20.21 implementation to be concurrent with the doctrinal changes implemented by the new TC 3-20.31 to ensure that the AGTS system trains Soldiers with the exact same doctrine that crews will be training in the tactical vehicle. The contractor will develop the software modifications and then deliver the installation disks to all Abrams AGTS sites. In total, the contractor shall provide software upgrade disks (including documentation updates) for fifty-two (52) M1A2 SEP V2 AGTS systems and twenty-nine (29) M1A1 C-AGTS systems. ACQUISITION APPROACH: PEO STRI Acquisition Center intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 16.505 (b) (2) (i) (B). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Substantial duplication of cost to the Government is not expected to be recovered through competition. The Government intends to award an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to Delivery Order (DO) 0018 under contract W900KK-09-D-0314 to LM RMS. Execution of the ECP is projected for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2017 (FY17). The total contract period of performance will not exceed 30 September 2019. LM RMS alone possesses the required system technical data and knowledge needed to integrate subsystems effectively to meet user performance criteria. Consequently, the proprietary designs of AGTS as described are unique to LM RMS. Since upgrades and improvements will use the existing AGTS as a basis, to include the previous FM 3-20.21 implementation that was performed by LM RMS under an earlier effort, knowledge of the existing system is imperative in order to ensure a smooth transition between the current AGTS and the improved AGTS configuration. ESTIMATED ACQUISITION DOLLAR VALUE: Approximately $1.4M PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE/DELIVERY: Production, testing, and delivery of the TC 3-20.31 upgrades is due 12 months after contract award. RESPONSES REQUESTED: Interested contractors must submit their capabilities statement by the closing date of this notice to the POC listed below. Responses shall provide a description of the offeror's ability to meet the Abrams AGTS program description, acquisition approach, and delivery schedule. See attached Statement of Work. The response shall include a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate for the requirement on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. The offeror's capability statement may not include any new or non-recurring design effort. The offeror's capability description should include documentation demonstrating that the offeror has adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain them; considers all existing commercial and governmental business commitments; has a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics; has the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them; and has the necessary technical and management resources and facilities, or the ability to obtain them. Responses should appear on company letterhead and include any applicable pricing data or information. All responses should include a point of contact, telephone number, and an e-mail address. Additionally, respondents should indicate whether they are a large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a) concern, women-owned small business, HUBZone, service disabled veteran-owned small business, or qualify as socially or economically disadvantaged and whether they are U.S. or foreign owned. Responses shall be submitted electronically by email to Craig.h.Cunningham.civ@mail.mil no later than 1500 EST on 03 April 2017. NOTICE: This notice of intent to award sole source is being provided to verify that no other sources can meet this requirement given only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Substantial duplication of cost to the Government is not expected to be recovered through competition. 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 IAW FAR Part 6. DISCLAIMER: This notice does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB) 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 any information received by the closing date of this notice to determine whether other sources are available and capable to satisfy this requirement.
