Description
This notice is a Request for Information only. The Government may or may not issue a solicitation as a result of this announcement. The Government will NOT pay for any information given in response to this call for information. BACKGROUND: To satisfy increasing training demands without significantly impacting the training budget, the U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) is conducting market research by seeking innovative business solutions/training approaches to develop, maintain, operate, upgrade, and support flight simulation training for the Army Aviation Objective Flight School XXI (FSXXI), U.S. Army Aviation Center (USAAVNC), Ft. Rucker, AL. The flight simulation training requirement consists of three parts: TH-67 High Fidelity Flight Simulators (HFFS), Advanced Aviation Institutional Training Simulators (AAITS), and a multi-function training staff. The number of devices, functionality and fidelity (including motion cues) of the manned modules, visual system, and training environment capabilities for the TH-67 High Fidelity Flight Simulators (HFFS) must support individual/crew task training to standard in accordance with the Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) course, Flight School XXI curriculum, and an estimated annual throughput of 1200 flight students. The TH-67 simulators will be installed in Pratt Hall with the installation including the tear-down of 24 of the simulators currently installed in that building and shipping of those simulators to locations directed by the government. A minimum of 24 AAITS are required and will be installed in the Aviation Warfighting Simulation Center (AWSC) (currently undergoing final construction). The AAITS must be reconfigurable to the AH-64A Apache, AH-64D Longbow, UH-60A/L Blackhawk, CH-47D Chinook, and OH-58D Kiowa Warrior aircraft initially, and the RAH-66 Comanche aircraft eventually. The AAITS functionality and fidelity (including motion cues), visual system, training environment, interoperability, and C4ISR capabilities must support individual/crew, collective, combined arms, and joint training requirements to include training individual/crew and collective tasks to standard in accordance with aircrew training manuals (ATM) and mission training plans (MTP). A multi-function training staff is required to manage, support, schedule, maintain, operate and upgrade the TH-67 HFFS, the AAITS, and their associated facilities; develop training support packages (TSPs) and associated training scenario generation tools; develop tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP); develop combined arms training strategies (CATS); and provide training support in terms of battlemaster, semi-automated forces, role play, and instructor/operator activities. This announcement seeks innovative acquisition strategies for the development, operation, maintenance, and life cycle support and upgrade of the flight simulators required for the Army Aviation Objective Flight School XXI (FSXXI) at reasonable pricing with increased efficiencies. All interested business concerns shall indicate interest by providing company name, business size, mailing address, phone number, electronic mailing address, and a brief synopsis of company capabilities and your innovative approach to this potential acquisition to both Mr. Larry J. Grauert, Contracting Officer, larry_grauert@stricom.army.mil and to Mr. Bernard Gajkowski, Deputy Product Manager Air and Command Tactical Trainers, bernard_gajkowski@stricom.army.mil. Upon receipt and review of your interest, the Government may allow your firm to schedule an appointment with a Government team at STRICOM, Orlando, FL, during the month of January 2002 to fully brief your innovative approach to these flight simulator requirements.
