Notice ID: W911S024R0000
Mission Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Fort Eustis is issuing this sources sought synopsis for Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Proponent Office Force on Force (TPO-FoF) as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support the requirement for Future Training Capabilities (FTC) Analyst.
FTC is required to develop and/or refine Army concepts/requirements to integrate Joint and Services training with the Army training systems in TPO-FoF’s training role as the Department of Army’s Executive Agent. This contract provides support to TPO-FoF for requirements and capability development. This contract assists Capability Developers in articulating and validating future advances in reference to training enablers in a holistic perspective for enhanced realism. This requirement shall enable the development of a comprehensive and manageable approach that spans from broad to specific requirements in a dynamic operational environment. TPOFoF requires this contract to meet Department of Defense (DOD) guidance to develop and/or refine Army concepts/requirements (also referred to as capabilities or capability gaps) and integrate Joint/Military Services’ training requirements and systems with Army training systems. The intention is to procure these services on a competitive basis.
Background: Live Training Transformation – Family of Training Systems Initial Capabilities Document (LT2-FTS ICD) is an overarching document that addresses Live training requirements covering eight systems/programs and future/planned requirements. The Army and Joint Requirements Oversight Councils approved the ICD in 2005 (Catalog of Approved Requirements Document (CARDS) # 2522). The Army Collective Training Environment ICD (ACTE ICD, 2018, CARDS # 2554) is the Army’s cornerstone for replicating the Operational Environment (OE) during training events to enable Soldiers to train as it fights. This ICD is designed to address specific gaps in collective training that are not documented in current ICDs (e.g., Network Enabled Mission Command ICD and the Integrated Training Environment ICD) for programmed and potential training capabilities for the future synthetic and/or live training environments. The Integrated Training Environment (ITE) was the Army’s past training environment which addressed Live, Virtual, and Constructive training. The ITE made significant strides providing a training capability but was a mix of different Non-Systems Training Devices (NSTDs) which were all developed separately over the last 35 years. The Army’s future training capability is the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) which replaces ITE. The STE is the opposite of the ITE. Rather than patching costly, proprietary individually developed systems together, after-the-fact, the STE is deliberately envisioned, from the beginning, to incorporate the Live, Virtual, Constructive, and Gaming environments as one complete training capability. The focus of this contract is on the Live training environment.
This contract is required to develop and/or refine Army concepts/requirements to integrate Joint and Services training with the Army training systems in TPO-FoF’s training role as the Department of Army’s Executive Agent. This contract provides support to TPO-FoF for requirements and capability development. This contract assists Capability Developers in articulating and validating future advances in reference to training enablers in a holistic perspective for enhanced realism. This requirement shall enable the development of a comprehensive and manageable approach that spans from broad to specific requirements in a dynamic operational environment. TPO-FoF requires this contract to meet DoD guidance to develop and/or refine Army concepts/requirements (also referred to as capabilities or capability gaps) and integrate Joint/Military Services’ training requirements and systems with Army training systems. The Army and TRADOC support this effort since the goal is to link the other Military Services’ training capabilities, ranges, maneuver areas, facilities, command headquarters, and combatant commands. This also supports Joint Interagency Intergovernmental and Multinational (JIIM) training sites, research, development, test, and evaluation sites.
Scope/Objectives: This contract provides support to the TPO-FoF, ATSC, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, VA. Contract provides one contractor who can perform the tasks outlined in this PWS. The focus is on the Live Training Environment (LTE). Services include developing and/or refining Army concepts/requirements to integrate Joint and Services training with the Army training systems. These systems include Live instrumentation (i.e., for Force-on-Force and Live Fire Maneuver (LFM) (Formerly known as Force-on-Target training)) and tactical engagement simulation systems. Contractor represent TPO-FoF interests in Army, Service(s), and Joint forums/meetings. Develops “use cases” / vignettes with virtual and constructive considerations used to inform the materiel developer of Live training requirements, and Science and Technology (S&T) needs. Manage FoF capability gaps. Assist in the review/development of System Training Plans (STRAP), Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) and Army Capabilities and Integration Development System (ACIDS) documents.
Subject to the availability of funds, the period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and two (2) 12-month option years.
