- Description
- The United States Government (USG) Army Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is seeking sources for the continuation of the Apache Simulation and Modeling for Acquisition, Requirements and Training (SMART) program that is used by the Apache Program Management Office (PMO) to guide acquisition decisions. The contractor shall accomplish this objective through completion of the development and performance of exercises and studies utilizing the government-furnished Apache Risk and Cost Reduction System (RACRS) Simulator Test Bed; the development, fielding, and support for spin-off products through adaption, outgrowth, or development based on RACRS technology. The utilization of this approach will result in the avoidance of cost, mitigation of schedule risks, and increased return on the USG investment as software and systems are leveraged from exercises to create fielded products. The contractor shall utilize systems and software that result in Government Purpose Rights for the completed software/system whenever feasible. These efforts are in support of the Apache PMO Department of Defense (DoD) Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA) and the Simulation & Modeling for Acquisition, Requirements and Training (SMART) initiative.
