69 -- AIR MOBILITY COMMAND (AMC) SIMULATOR UPGRADE PROGRAM, VISUAL UP GRADE EFFORT (VUE) SOL F33657-95-R-0010 POC N. Denise Henderson, Contract Negotiator, (513) 255-9298, Ext 345 or Lytus Jordan, Contracting Officer, (513) 255-9298, Ext 353. USAF/Aeronautical Systems Center, Training System Product Group (ASC/YW) intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) F33657-95-R-0010 for the purpose of obtaining visual simulation systems for upgrade of existing Air Mobility Command Aircrew Training Devices (e.g., KC-135R Operational Flight Trainers (OFT) and KC-10A Weapon System Trainers (WST) or other wide body aircraft. Each visual simulation system will consist of out-the-window (OTW) visual systems with image generators, display systems, and logistics support packages. Visual database generation systems (DBGSs) and visual system operations and maintenance training are also required. General performance requirements of the visual simulation system include FAA AC 120-40 level C fidelity plus day/dusk/night visual operation, advanced texturing, calligraphic lighting, 225 degrees minimum horizontal field of view (FOV), and the vertical FOV required to effectively perform aerial refueling training. The systems shall be capable of being integrated on existing KC-135R OFTs, KC-10A WSTs, and other similar AMC motion based aircrew training devices by the in-place Aircrew Training System (ATS) contractor without degrading the inherent capability of the existing trainers. The DBGS must have the capability to import, enhance, and export MIL-STD-1821 Standard Simulator Data Base (SSDB) Interchange Format (SIF) visual databases. All qualified sources must be capable of providing a demonstration of SIF import, enhancement, and export capabilities of a government provided SIF compliant geo-cell, plus a real-time demonstration of the resulting run-time database on the proposed visual simulation system. The demonstration will be evaluated as part of the source selection process and will be conducted after proposal submittal. Release of the RFP is anticipated for 27 Sep 95. The contract type for this program will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ). The contract will be for a span of approximately 60 months. The proposal volume containing past and present performance ill be due 21 calendar days after RFP release and the remaining volumes of the proposal will be due 45 calendar days after RFP release. The SIC Code for this program is 3728 and the applicable size standard is 1,000 people. Information in this synopsis is for information and planning purposes only, and does not constitute an RFP or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), and it is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government.
