- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - SOLE SOURCE FMS PROCUREMENT PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) has a requirement to procure a standard 1:12 Call For Fire Trainer II (CFFT II) for the Bahrain Defense Forces (BDF). The CFFT II is a lightweight, rapidly deployable, observed fire training system that provides simulated battlefield training for Fire Support Specialists, Joint Fires Observers (JFO), and Soldiers at the institutional and unit level. This requirement will result in a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) FMS sole-source contract to Fidelity Technologies Corporation estimated at $740,183. The Period of Performance (POP) for the FMS Bahrain requirement will be 18 months for the site survey, production, spares, installation and training of the CFFT II system, with two (2) 12-month FFP option periods for the contractor logistics support and SME system support. The effort will utilize FMS non-expiring funds, and includes production and fielding of the base system, a spares package, translation of the screens and documentation to Arabic, and New Equipment Training (NET). The effort will also include options for contractor logistics support for the duration of the contract following fielding and installation and in-country support of some of their training exercises by a CFFT II Subject Matter Expert (SME). ACQUISITION APPROACH: 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." Fidelity Technologies Corporation is the sole supplier of the current CFFT II system and owns data rights for the Lightweight Laser Designator/Rangefinder (LLDR) simulated military equipment, which is a significant component of the system. Fidelity Technologies is also a qualified U.S. Contractor for export-controlled technical data in reference to CFFT II Foreign Military Sales. The US Army PEO STRI Acquisition Center is currently in the process of procuring the next evolution of the Call for Fire Training, CFFT II-JFPL contract. The CFFT II Training Device for Bahrain cannot be executed under the upcoming award since BDF requires a CFFT II, not a CFFT II-JFPL compliant Training Device. ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE: The total contract value for this effort is estimated at approximately $740,183. RESPONSES REQUESTED: This notice is provided to verify that no other sources can meet this requirement given the proprietary technical and cost requirements. This notification is provided for contractors 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 Government will use the information received to determine whether other sources are available that are capable to satisfy this requirement.
