This sources sought synopsis does not constitute a request for proposal (RFP), request for quote, invitation for bid, nor does it in any way restrict the Government to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Government is not liable for any costs incurred by the contractor in response to this synopsis, and therefore, will not compensate any contractor for work performed in response to this synopsis. The 647 th Contracting Squadron is conducting market research to determine potential sources f or on-site operations support of the Misawa/Osan/Kunsan/Kadena Instrumented Training System (MOKKITS). The current contract providing these services expires in September 2013 and HQ PACAF/A3XR requires follow-on operations support for MOKKITS. The MOKKITS provides realistic Air Combat Training to the warfighter and employs instrumentation on high activity participant aircraft and ground subsystem components. The system contains an air-to-air data link for sharing participant GPS based time-space-position information and is capable of both range-less and ground-based live monitor operations. The MOKKITS operations tasks includes aircraft upload/download of the airborne subsystems (pods) AN/ASQ-T34 and AN/ASQ-T503 and per-mission and post-mission preparation with Data Transfer Devices (DTDs); preparing mission files and operating the Individual Combat Aircrew Display System (ICADS during aircrew debriefings. This RFI encompasses the continued operations support for the MOKKITS necessary to sustain operational tempos at MOKKITS operating locations. The Government expects to award a Firm Fixed Price contract for operations support.

Upload/download MOKKITS pods to support both daily training and exercise (surge) flaying schedules. 2. Ensure umbilicals between MOKKITS pod and aircraft launcher rail are correct configuration and pods are operational prior to aircraft roll. "Red ball" replacement of failed pods prior to take-off will be directed by pilot. 3. DTD Pre-mission preparation of DTD to be used by aircrews to record mission data. 4. Post-Mission data download of recorded mission data on DTD and preparation of mission files for use on ICADS. 5. Operations of in-squadron ICADS during aircrew debriefings. 6. Deployed (TDY) operations of MOKKITS for exercise support. 6. The contractor will be expected to meet the following performance standards: (1) 100% of all pods loaded to meet mission requirements; (2) 100% pre-mission DTD preparation complete prior to pilot step (3) 95% post-mission debriefings successfully prepared and completed.
