The Training Systems Product Group (TSPG) is continuing the acquisition planning for the purpose of competitively awarding multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for Aircrew and Aircraft Maintenance Training Systems (AAMTS) II for the United States Air Force and Foreign Military Sales. The objective of this contract strategy is to significantly shorten lead-time to meet user training requirements by reducing source selection time. It is our desire to ensure that small businesses will take part in the program. In order to accomplish the above objectives the TSPG is surveying industry to determine the capabilities of industry to meet the future training needs of our customers. A previous survey announced in August of 1996 was oriented toward ascertaining the capabilities of small business. This survey will assist the TSPG in determining the extent of industry's, both small and large firms, capability to perform in several critical functional areas (i.e., software development, etc.). The survey is accessible on the internet at http://tspg.wpafb.af.mil/related/survey Companies are required to have the capability of accessing the internet in order to complete the survey. Surveys will not be provided via mail. The product of this survey will be used in developing the acquisition strategy that will lead to the Request for Proposals (RFP). Surveys are due no later than the close of business fourteen (14) calendar days after publication of this announcement. Inputs will be held in strict confidentiality, and must be completed in accordance with the survey instructions.
