- Description
- Project: �Army Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS) Maintenance Program (ATMP) Re-compete. Notice Type: ��Request for Information/Market Research Brief Description: The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Program Lead TADSS Support Operations is conducting market research for lifecycle management sustainment, and related training services of fielded Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS) and ranges in support of the U.S. Army�s Training Support System worldwide enterprise (TSS Enterprise). The ATMP Re-compete will assume sustainment and training services related to Direct Mission, �program of record� TADSS and ranges currently being performed on the ATMP contract. The ATMP Re-compete contract will sustain over 200 types of TADSS located at over 400 staffed and unstaffed sites worldwide. Supported TADSS belong to all of the Live, Virtual/Gaming and Constructive training environments.� Examples of TADSS maintained by ATMP are included at the back of this document. Objective:� The Government�s primary objective is to execute the AR 350-38-directed TADSS Maintenance program to ensure TADSS are available to enable Army training.� The contract will also have scope for services that are integrally related to TADSS maintenance such that the Government will receive efficiencies by having the maintenance contractor perform such services. Acquisition Strategy Planning Information (DRAFT): Contract Vehicle: It is our intent to solicit ATMP Re-compete as a Single Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract. The determination of pursuing a Small Business set-aside or conducting a Full and Open competition will not be determined until market research has been completed and the Acquisition Strategy has been approved. Contract Type:� The preponderance of the contract will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP); however Time and Material (T&M) and/or cost reimbursable Task Orders or CLINs may be required for efforts that are difficult to define or where uncertainties are involved.� Approximate Funding: $5B FY 2025-2035 The ATMP Re-compete effort is envisioned to have a phase-in period lasting not more than nine months, followed by full performance beginning on July 1, 2025. The Government envisions that the NAICS code for this effort is 541330, Engineering Services.
