- Description
- NAVAIR Orlando has a requirement for products and support for the V-22 Training System. The V-22 weapons system is preparing for a Milestone III decision next year and a decision to proceed with full rate production will require that a robust and fully supported training system be in place to properly prepare crews and maintainers to operate this revolutionary aircraft. And to fully utilize the capability of the V-22 training system, the training products must be kept current with the aircraft as it is modified and upgraded, and current with changes to tactics, techniques, and procedures that affect the way the weapon system is employed and thus the way that it must be trained. NAVAIR Orlando anticipates awarding an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract (IDIQC) with Cost Plus Fixed Fee/Firm Fixed Price delivery orders. The Government anticipates a Not-to-Exceed $10M contract over a 60-month period. This requirement will be solicited as an 8(a) set aside on a competitive basis if responses result in adequate competition. Detailed requirements for specific tasks will be issued as delivery orders for a task or combination of tasks under the contract. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the government. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals. No contract will be awarded from this announcement. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing the information in response to this announcement and any follow-up information requests. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation.
