Slovenia Advanced Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Simulators

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) has a requirement to procure two (2) Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) Advanced Simulators with roadside bomb kits and associated components. The IED Advanced Simulators must be capable of being operated/tracked from the existing instrumentation system (i.e. MORS - Tactical Simulation Training System (TSTS)/WinExcon) produced and fielded to Slovenia by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Saab Defense and Security USA LLC (SDAS). In addition, the IED Advanced Simulators must have the capability of having a casualty effect (i.e. kill, wound) over the existing Personnel Detection Devices (PDDs) previously fielded to Slovenia by OEM SDAS. The IED Advanced Simulators will not have the capability of having a casualty effect over the existing vehicle target system (i.e. Universal Target System) also previously fielded to Slovenia by OEM SDAS.Some characteristics of the IED Advanced

Simulator kit are as follows: it is instrumented (i.e. it is a player unit in WinExCon), includes a built-in short range radio transmitter for effect on nearby PDD player units only, includes DAN Radio for communication with the WinExCon, includes GPS to give it location, includes a detector belt to allow for effects such as Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) clearing fire, includes speaker Unit for set up/explosion sound effects, and includes a command wire detonator and remote detonator (up to 50m). Due to the aforementioned requirements for interoperability and compatibility of the IED Advanced Simulators with the existing SDAS instrumentation system and PDDs, this requirement will result in a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Foreign Military Sales (FMS) sole-source contract to SDAS.The IED Advanced Simulator kits and associated components in the attached hardware list are also part of this requirement and have to be provided to Slovenia.No site survey will be required under this effort. The contractor will be responsible for transportation of all hardware, manuals, training material and support equipment being requested under this effort from point of origin at the contractor's facility to the training site/location in Slovenia.Additionally, this effort includes On-Site Instrumentation System Upgrades, Installation, Integration, and New Equipment Training (NET).PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The Period of Performance (POP) for this effort to include NET is 12 months after contract award. The effort will utilize Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) Fiscal Year 2014, FAA Section 551, Building Partnership Capacity (BPC) Funds.ACQUISITION APPROACH: This requirement will result in a FFP FMS sole‐source contract to the OEM. This action will be awarded in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302‐1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Saab Defense and Security USA LLC, is the OEM of the Instrumentation System (i.e. MORS - TSTS / WinExCon) and PDDs previously fielded to Slovenia via Direct Commercial Sales (DCS).ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE: The total contract value for this effort is estimated at $333K.ELIGIBILITY: The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 333318 with a Small Business Size Standard of 1000. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 6910.RESPONSES REQUIRED: This notice of intent to award sole source is being provided to verify that no other sources can meet this requirement given the proprietary technical requirements, expedited timeline and substantial duplication of cost restraints. This notification is provided for contractors who may be interested in teaming/subcontracting opportunities.DISCLAIMER: THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INVITATION FOR BIDS OR A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) AND IS NOT A COMMITMENT BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO PROCURE SUBJECT PRODUCTS. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS NOTIFICATION. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WILL USE THE INFORMATION RECEIVED TO DETERMINE WHETHER OTHER SOURCES ARE AVAILABLE THAT ARE CAPABLE TO SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT.
