Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division, Code 2732, 12350 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826-3224

60 -- MOBILE AUTOMATED INSTRUMENTATION SUITE (MAIS) SOL N61339-91-C-0090 POC Sue Ellen Sahagun-Dorland (407)380-8010 or Michael K. Minor, Contracting Officer (407)380-4096 The U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) has a requirement to extend the option exercise periods existing under the Mobile Automated Instrumentation Suite (MAIS) contract. MAIS is an encrypted, highly complex Real Time Casualty Assessment operational testing system currently in its final phases of development. Current Lot I deliveries include a mobile Command, Control and Communications (C3) Center and 130 Player Units (PU) which will not meet future Army requirements. This action seeks to extend the production option time line and modify the structuring of the existing options under the current MAIS contract to allow the government flexibility in acquiring any combination of kinds and quantities of MAIS Player Units/C3 Centers to be purchased over the next five fiscal years (FY97 through FY01). This will accommodate a realistic force mix based on weapon system obsolescence and the development of new weapon systems and budget fluctuations over the life of this contract. This requirement is to be procured from the MAIS development contractor, Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems Company (LMTSC), 1210 Massillon Road, Akron, OH 44315-0001. Due to the lack of a complete technical data package, only the identified source is capable of satisfying the Government's requirement. The MAIS is still in development with DT/OT scheduled to be complete in January 1997 and IOC scheduled for delivery in the 3rd Quarter 1997. LMTSC is the only source for the MAIS system and therefore the only source capable of performing this effort. Justification and authority is Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source. As the designer, developer and manufacturer of the MAIS system, LMTSC is the only source which possesses the necessary data, current design and expertise to perform the production effort. See numbered Note 22. No RFP is available. (0270)
