- Description
- Authority: Full and Open Competition Anticipated Award Date: 01 Aug 2010 PURCHASE KC135 ATS SUPPORT. SOL FA8223-10-R-50094 : This is the official announcement for KC-135 Aircrew Training System (ATS) support. Pre-solicitation information and a substantial body of data associated with this procurement were publicized at FedBizOps under pre-solicitation notice FA8223-10-R-135TS. The final RFP with attachments and worksheets will be posted 15 days after the date of this Synopsis. This will be an acquisition of services, follow-on to the support previously acquired under the long term contract, F33657-91-C-0072 with Flight Safety Services Corp which is scheduled to expire 30 Sep 2010. The period of performance to be priced will be ten (10) years, with a base period from 01 Oct 2010 through 30 Sep 2011 (FY 2011), and subsequent option years that if exercised, will carry the contract through 30 Sep 2020. The KC-135 Simulator System is comprised of 19 KC-135 Operational Flight Trainers (OFTs), 2 Boom Operator Weapons System Trainers (BOWSTs), 27 GATM Interactive Hand Controller (IHC) Part Task Trainers (GIPTT), 11 Cockpit Familiarization Trainers (CFT) in various configurations, 400 Computer Based Training (CBT) Workstations and laptops, 25 AFMSS desktop trainers, 30 Instructor trainer laptops, 1 Cargo Loading Trainer, and courseware. Devices and Instructional Material (courseware) are utilized at the main training facility, Altus AFB, and at twelve (12) other bases in the CONUS and OCONUS area. Two are OCONUS, Kadena and Mildenhall. A training facility at Hickam, Hawaii will be in operation in the 3rd quarter of FY2011, replacing operations at Grand Forks, ND, as a result of BRAC re-alignments. The KC-135 ATS is a broadly scoped, active and dynamic performance based services program providing initial qualification and re-qualification KC-135 training to Pilots, Boom Operators and Instructors. Operation, maintenance and modification of devices, and maintenance of courseware, often driven by the mandate to maintain training concurrent with the aircraft, contribute to this dynamic. A very active operations tempo (large numbers of students) and impetus to move more training from the aircraft to the ATS/simulator also contributes to challenges faced by this program. Key objectives of the program include: 1. Initial, continuation, and requalification training for KC-135 aircrew. Aircrews include pilots, navigators, and boom operators. 2. Maintaining the training devices and courseware concurrent to the current KC-135 aircraft baseline. 3. Support other modifications as required via ECPs. 4. Provide facility management. 5. Provide Program Management including Systems Engineering, Quality Assurance, Data/Configuration Management, and ESOH management. To meet objective for small business participation in Air Force Trainer programs, large businesses who expect to submit offers under this program must commit to expanded small business participation, as will be explained in Section H of the RFP. A firm fixed price, non-commercial, full and open competition services contract is contemplated.
