Kingman Road, MSC 2601 Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-6201 Synopsis This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS Announcement. Sources Sought Synopsis announcements are issued to assist the Agency in performing market research to determine industry interest and capability. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. Background The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) requires selected individuals, both civilian and military, to maintain weapons proficiency. As Per CONPLAN 0100-08, the responsibility for the Agencies' Weapons Proficiency Training Program falls under the DTRA's Contingency Operations Division (J3ONC) who utilizes primarily Government personnel (GS & Military) to provide instruction to identified DTRA personnel in the areas of weapon's marksmanship, sustainment and qualification training. Weapons qualification is normally taught by qualified Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO's) and Certified Instructors at the unit level. J3ONC maintains a cadre of active-duty military and former Special Forces members with DoD approved instructional capabilities. A number of J3ONC personnel are Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) Instructor Certified, National Rifle Association Tactical Instructors, Range Managers and graduates of Special Forces Advanced Reconnaissance Target Analysis Exploitation Course (SFARTAEC), Special Operations Target Interdiction Course (SOTIC), Special Forces Advanced Urban Combat (SFAUC), and other advanced military or civilian marksmanship/instructor courses. As range proficiency is an additional duty/task of these civilian/military personnel, the subject training must be performed within reasonable commuting distance of the DTRA Complex (DTRC) as not to interfere with their normal duty tasks. In addition, based on the fluid nature of the DTRA 's Weapons Training Program, the logistical coordination involved to support this program requires a Range with the ability to reserve ranges times up to one (1) year in advance, purchasing of ancillary materials/ammunition, storage of training ammunition, and the ability accommodate various type of firearms, range positions and distances. Range Requirements The purpose of this announcement is to identify viable vendors who are capable of meeting the DTRA's specific requirements for Range Support. This notice therefore invites vendors to submit qualification statements addressing whether they can currently accommodate / meet the requirements delineated below: a. Live Fire Range within reasonable commuting distance of the DTRA-DTRC, Fort Belvoir, VA (approximately 50 miles). b.

Authorization for the use of DTRA-J3ONC qualified personnel with Special Operations Forces (SOF) experience, National Rifle Association (NRA), and Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) certification who will act as instructors/range safeties using a ratio of 6 students to 1 instructor for static flat range work utilizing a 25m flat range with 10-12 firing positions adjacent to one another. g. Facilities which enable the use of steel reactive targets on 25m flat range. h. Facilities with a Known Distance (KD) range out to 300 meters for KD rifle firing and flat stationary ranges for weapons qualification out to 25 meters. i.

No restrictions on the number of personnel (instructors) required to be on site for operation of the range (in accordance with applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Fire Department, and all other State and Federal regulatory restrictions). Responses: Vendor qualification statements should directly compare their current capabilities/facilities and how they meet the requirements identified above.
