- Description
- The United States Marine Corps has a requirement to procure contractor support services to provide shallow water and underwater egress training using the Modular Amphibious Egress Trainer (MAET) and Shallow Water Egress Trainer (SWET). The Government intends to pursue this effort as a full and open commercial competition procurement, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with Options pursuant to FAR 2.1, which provides the standard definition of commercial items/services. Standard practices for ?Acquisition of Commercial Items?, as set forth at FAR 12.203, will be applied throughout the process. The RFP is expected to be issued on 3 August 2007. The MAET is an underwater escape trainer with a generic fuselage section representing specific aircraft/amphibious vessels cockpit and cabin emergency escape exits. The MAET functions closely to the general characteristics of a ditched aircraft; in this case either the CH-46 or CH-53. The fuselage is capable of being lowered in to a pool provided by the government. After entry into the water in a horizontal position with the fuselage upright, the fuselage will be capable of rotation about its longitudinal axis. The control unit will provide two-speed rate of descent and retract. The students will be able to practice escaping the trainer with the fuselage floating in an upright position, an inverted position or any position between upright and inverted. Currently there are three permanent sites where MAETs are located: Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan (MWR Pool), Marine Corps Base Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii (Base Pool), Camp Pendleton, California (Camp Horno Pool). Additionally, the Shallow Water (SWET) and IP/HABD training course is operational at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. All questions, concerns, and information should be addressed to or mailed to Graham K. Oliff Jr. at: Marine Corps Systems Command PMTRASYS 12350 Research Parkway Orlando, FL 32826-3275. No phone calls will be accepted. THE SUBMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION IS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUCTED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO PROCURE ANY ITEMS/SERVICES, OR FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR THE INFORMATION RECEIVED. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS AT THIS TIME.
