- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a contract for the procurement of the following: E-2D aircraft configuration training concurrency updates to a total of nine (9) Hawkeye Integrated Training System (HITS) training devices for aircrew and maintenance, a production training device, E-2D Operational Flight Trainer, and updates to the HITS logistical support packages. Logistical support for HITS include maintenance manuals, provisioning data and initial provisioning items, configuration data, instructor, maintenance, and software training, and six (6) months of initial logistics support to operate and maintain the Operational Flight Trainer at its delivery site at NBVC Pt Mugu, CA. The contract is planned for Rockwell Collins Simulation & Training Solutions (RCSTS), LLC, Cedar Rapids, IA under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, śOnly one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. ť RCSTS is the only source with access to aircraft elements, aircraft data, and training system source and design data required that can update the HITS and deliver updated training devices within the required ready for training date beginning in 2016. The anticipated award date is 2014 with deliveries commencing in 2016 and completion in 2018. The anticipated contract value for this contract is $49.8M inclusive of all work including options. Developed by RCSTS on competitively awarded delivery orders, the HITS products are an integrated multi-media instructional system that blends training media such as instructor led training, computer based courseware, and complex, high fidelity training devices to meet approved proficiency and qualification curriculum, while reporting readiness along a training management system to facilitate efficient student production to reduce development and operational support costs to the E-2D program. Due to the integrated requirements of HITS products in content, networking, and interoperability, segregating products into multiple contract actions outside of a single HITS contract action is not viable. Doing so will induce a prohibitive risk of incompatibility between training media and an unacceptable Information Assurance posture within the HITS secure network enclave. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. It is a notice outlining the Government ™s intent to contract on a sole source basis with RCSTS. Please note, this notice supersedes the original notice posted on 07 August 2012 under N61339-12-R-0077 due to changes in scope and budget. Interested sources are solicited to provide their written technical capabilities. Written response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Interested sources must submit detailed written technical capabilities to update existing HITS training devices i.e. E-2D Tactics Trainers, E-2D Simulated Maintenance Trainers, E-2D Power Plants Trainer, and E-2D Operational flight Trainers with configuration concurrency updates, produce production flight training device, and provide logistic support to meet the needs of the Government. Interested sources must submit technical capabilities to identify, obtain, and utilize E-2D aircraft, hardware and software, aircraft data, and HITS training system source and design data. Detailed written capabilities must be submitted by email to Ms. Romy Roman-Conway (romy.roman-conway@navy.mil) in an electronic format that is compatible with MS Word, no later than close of business on 26 April 2013. Verbal submissions via phone will not be honored. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses shall be limited to no more than TEN (10) pages. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no written challenge to this synopsis is received, a justification and approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition in accordance with the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 6.303 based on the rationale provided above will be initiated. Authority to act under this class J&A expires on 31 Dec 2018. If conducted as a sole source procurement, no further synopsis will be provided.
