The NAICS Code is 335999. Marine Corps Systems Command, Program Manager, Training Systems (PM TRASYS) is developing its requirements for Range Training Systems (RTS).

BACKGROUND The Marine Corps has a current operational requirement to modernize its Range Training Systems with various types of automated and non automated target equipment and simulators as listed in the systems requirements specification. The attached Statement of Work (SOW) defines the tasks to be performed during the production, test, installation, and delivery of the modernization of RTS. The contract awardee will perform a mix of systems and logistics engineering; design, development and systems integration; and, training and installation of the RTS. PURPOSE OF REQUEST FOR INFORMATION This RFI is issued based on FAR Part 15, specifically, 15.201(e) and 15.209(c). The purpose of this RFI is to obtain market information or capabilities for planning purposes. The RFI is to gather information and all information submitted, in accordance with the RFI's requirements, will be reviewed regardless as to whether the submitting entity is a teaming arrangement, individual company, traditional Government contractor, or non-traditional Government contractor. The Government remains open to alternative ideas and considerations; respondents are encouraged to provide information to include alternative methodologies. • Responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. • Submitting entities should review FAR 3.104 and FAR subpart 24.2 which sets forth the Government's obligations to protect information submitted in response to this RFI. • Pursuant to FAR 15.201(f), information to be provided by the Government in a public forum to a potential respondent in response to such respondent's request must not be disclosed if doing so would reveal the potential Respondent's confidential business strategy, and is protected under FAR 3.104 or FAR subpart 24.2. (nonetheless, Respondents should properly mark their responses if the information is confidential). • Based on the information received, the Government's intent is to issue an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm-Fixed price single award contract for RTS in accordance with the SOW (Attachment 1). • Performance will be conducted at various government facilities in the United States and overseas and will not be disclosed at this time. The time schedule for contract award and various testing will be disclosed in the Request for Proposal. • Please include sufficient information about the proposed solution which will allow PM TRASYS to determine the relevance to the RFI and the Government's requirements. It is recommended that any testing and evaluation data be included to better assess the solutions addressed.
