- Description
- J&A Redacted - ASCOT Exercise Support U.S. Marine Corps Regional Contracting Office, MCB Camp S. D. Butler, Okinawa, Japan, hereby gives notice of intent to award a firm-fixed price, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity, sole source contract to Plexsys Interface Products, Inc., 4900 NW Camas Meadow Dr., Camas, WA. 98607-7684, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." The Government requires a real-time interactive simulation tool that easily manages the entire battlespace from single ship Close Air Support (CAS) missions to multi-axis, multi-ship Special Operations. Multiple systems can be networked together at a single site, or at multiple sites around the world for dynamic large-scale joint and coalition exercises. The Government also requires a realistic virtual battle-space by using real-world data and models that provide Instructors and Exercise Directors the ability to control exercise tempo and dynamically direct the exercise focus to meet training needs. Further, The Government requires a system that contains the required specifications to interconnect with MACCS equipment into the pre-built and approved backbone provided by Tactical Training Group, Pacific (TTGP), which has the ability to simulate the tactical level. Finally, the required system must have the ability to generate a simulated scenario and inject it into the Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S) by stimulating the Multi-Source Correlator Tracker/Tactical Display Framework (MSCT-TDF). Advanced Simulation Combat Operations Trainer (ASCOT), offered by Plexsys Interface Products, Inc., is currently the only known system that can meet all of the specifications and characteristics required to meet the Government's needs. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. Accordingly, interested contractors may submit a narrative describing their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort via e-mail no later than December 5, 2016 at 2 P.M. Pacific Standard Time (PST) to the Contract Specialist, Kent Kundert, at email: kent.kundert@usmc.mil Capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
