Description

INTRODUCTION: The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Contracts Department, Orlando, FL announces its intention to design, develop, integrate and procure two (2) technical trainers for Squadron Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) maintenance training for the P-8A Poseidon aircraft. The United States Navy is in the process of replacing the Maritime and Reconnaissance P-3C śOrion ť aircraft with the Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft P-8A śPoseidon ť. As a result, there is a need to train aircraft maintainers in the skills necessary to support the new sensor on the aircraft as they are fielded to the fleet. AAS Maintenance training will be conducted on training devices at NAS Jacksonville and NAS Whidbey Island. It is anticipated any contract action resulting from this sources sought notice will be issued pursuant to the procedures at FAR Subpart 16.505 under the auspices of Training Systems Contract III (TSC III), a NAWCTSD Multiple Award Contract (MAC). However, to increase transparency of NAWCTSD requirements and increase opportunities for subcontracting, notice of this sources sought is being provided. Only TSC III Prime Contractors (contractors previously awarded a contract within this vehicle) are considered an interested party in this sources sought notice, and responses from non TSC III MAC contract holders will not be considered. All inquiries regarding participation as a subcontractor should be submitted to a Prime Contractor for consideration. Any documents available for this notice not otherwise attached hereto, including but not limited to Solicitations, Statements of Work (SOW), and Specifications will be made available only to qualifying Prime Contractors. Interested subcontractors may contact Prime Contractors for access to these documents. A list of NAWCTSD MAC Prime Contractors and their Points of Contact (POCs) may be obtained via the following link: http://www.navair.navy.mil/nawctsd/EBusiness/BusOps/MACHolders.cfm DISCLAIMER THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

ATTACHMENT: 1.Special Mission Pod Deployment Mechanism (SMPDM) Maintenance Training Recommendations Document 2.Non-Disclosure Agreement PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Training devices will be assembled and tested both in plant and at final delivery locations, see paragraph above for training locations. PROGRAM BACKGROUND: NAWCTSD is designated as the PMA 290 and PMA 205 training system acquisition agent. In accordance with these assignments, NAWCTSD provides the following: Training system design, development, and system upgrade; technical support and life cycle support. Boeing is producing the P-8A aircraft for the US Navy as a result of a limited participation competitive contract award. The P-8A is replacing the P-3 aircraft. This requirement is for a new procurement. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES: The instructional hardware will consist of two (2) functional hardware trainers, one at each site, that support the removal and installation of the Special Mission Pod Deployment Mechanism (SMPDM) and the functional check procedures of the SMPDM using the procedures outlined in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). High fidelity immersive technology that requires psycho-motor engagement may be proposed in lieu of hardware or in conjunction with hardware to meet the hardware training requirement. The ability for multiple (up to 7) students at a time to interact with either a virtual or physical hardware trainer is required in some of the training situations. The P-8A AAS Maintenance Training Device will also provide training devices and courseware located at both NAS Jacksonville, FL and NAS Whidbey Island, WA.
