Description
The purpose of this announcement is: (1) to conduct market research via a Request for Information (RFI), and (2) to obtain industry feedback on the accompanying Draft Request for Proposal (RFP). This announcement is in support of the Navy’s Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) program issued by the Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) for Mission Systems, Program Manager Warfare (PMW) 610F. The Government is seeking sources capable of producing build-to-print mature training systems and providing associated engineering, warehousing, and lifecycle efforts in direct support of the production of these systems. The potential ordering period is Fiscal Year 2028 through 2033. This RFI and Draft RFP are for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or Request for Proposal (RFP). Responses may be reviewed by Government personnel and authorized support service contractors. By submitting a response, the respondent consents to the disclosure of its information to such support contractors for the purpose of review and analysis. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to this notice. Information submitted will become the property of the United States Government. This announcement is a follow-on to the TSTC Industry Day notice previously posted on SAM.gov.
