- Description
- The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) Project Manager Constructive Simulation (PM ConSim) has a requirement for the design, development, integration, test, management, documentation, exercise support and training, and delivery/fielding of the Joint Deployment Logistics Model (JDLM) software as the logistics component of the JLCCTC and US JFCOM J-7 (JWFC) Joint Live-Virtual-Constructive (JLVC) constructive training federations. Tapestry Solutions, Inc. has sole proprietary rights to the software used in JDLM. PEO STRI/PM ConSim intends to award a short-term 4 month (2 months with a 2 month option) Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract to Tapestry Solutions, Inc. to fulfill this requirement. Tapestry Solutions, Inc. is the only known company capable of fulfilling this immediate short-term requirement. JDLM was developed in 1998 to support U.S. Army Europe's then evolving role from Cold War defense to expeditionary force operations. JDLM eventually became the U.S. Army and Marine Corps choice for high fidelity logistics simulations and training. JDLM is in use at the Army logistics training center at Fort Lee, VA and is a crucial part of the JLCCTC. JDLM is used to stimulate the Battle Command Support and Sustainment System (BCS3) currently fielded to U.S. Army units and is the only logistics model used with JLCCTC. This effort will temporarily continue JDLM development and Post Deployment Software Support (PDSS), for a period of four months, to support ongoing training of the Army Corps, Divisions, and Brigades. With the impending introduction of the Army's next generation logistics Mission Command System - Battle Command 10 - it is imperative that JDLM development and PDSS continue in order to ensure logistics simulation capability to support training. Continued JDLM development and PDSS is imperative to ensure its viability as an effective Army training vehicle. Future JDLM development and PDSS efforts will be executed under the future JLCCTC development contract that is being awarded as a full and open competition and is currently in the source selection process. Details of the JLCCTC development contract are posted under FedBizOpps announcement W900KK-12-R-0006. ACQUISITION APPROACH: The Government anticipates that the requirement will be fulfilled by a CPFF contract in accordance with FAR Part 6.302. The Government intends to pursue a sole source award to Tapestry Solutions, Inc. under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." The period of performance for this effort is 4 months and will include a two month base award and one two-month option. RESPONSES REQUESTED: This notice is provided to verify that no other sources can meet this requirement given the immediate need for support. This notification is also provided for Contractors interested in teaming/subcontracting opportunities. Contractors who believe they are capable of meeting the performance requirements should contact the Contract Specialist by electronic mail at caryn.mcgraw@us.army.mil by 1400 hours (EST), 15 August 2012 indicating their capabilities. Capability statements should not exceed eight (6) pages (including the cover sheet, table of contents, etc). NOTICE: Contractors are advised that a determination by the Government not to compete this effort based on any responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. 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 pay for preparation of responses to this notification. The Government will use the information received to determine whether other sources are available and capable to satisfy this requirement.
