The United States Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG), Yuma, AZ, intends to negotiate a contract with Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., 6900 Main Street, P.O. Box 9729, Stratford, CT 06497-9129, and Advanced Rotorcraft Technology, 1685 Plymouth St, Suite 250, Mountain View, CA 94043 as a subcontractor on an other than Full and Open competition basis. USAYPG is currently developing the Aviation Weapons Test Planning and Validation Tool as a group of modules for the U.S. Army FlightLab Commanche simulation. Advanced Rotorcraft Technology is the developer of the FlightLab software and the software is proprietary to the company. Advanced Rotorcraft Technology is currently under contract with the U.S. Army Aviation Technical Test Center (ATTC) to integrate Comanche component modules into the FlightLab environment. These modules include the fuselage, the engine, flight control, and rotor. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is currently transferring the Commanche flight control modules into FlightLab modules under contract with ATTC. They are also in possession of a current Sensor, Gun Turret Drive, and other required models in simulation languages other than FlightLab. Since many of the existing models are proprietary, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the only corporation which can accomplish this effort. This requirement is under the Purchase Request and Commitment (PR&C)W81R8T-9251-RM03. Pursuant to FAR Part 12 and 13 this acquisition will be issued under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for a commercial item, as a 100% small business set-aside. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is 7371 with a size standard of $18M. Responses other than the above sources may identify their interest and capability to perform the requirement by submitting a proposal in writing. Proposals shall include complete mailing address, point of contact, phone number, facsimile number and business size. Responses shall be received by 1:00PM on 20 Sep 1999.
