Description
Request for Information (RFI) Intent of the Notice: Army Contracting Command - Orlando (ACC-Orlando), for the U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threats (CPE ST3), in support of Product Manager Tactical Training Systems (PdM TTS), is conducting market research to determine whether responsible industry sources exist that can provide uninterrupted Aerial Remotely Piloted Vehicle Target (ARPVT) systems (Group 2 and 3) and services support without substantial duplication of cost to the Government or unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements. The Government is considering the most effective acquisition approach for continued ARPVT support, which may include an extension of the current Griffon Aerospace Inc. for up to five years for the ADA-T II contract, W900KK-22-D-0010. This RFI is issued for market research purposes and to assist the Government in determining whether the requirement should be competed or whether a noncompetitive action may be supportable under Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul Part 6.103-1(c)(2).

Prior market research and acquisition planning associated with ADA-T II Delivery Orders recognized that the pre-existing ADA-T II IDIQ contract vehicle was established to address the technical scope of the effort, and that no readily available commercial solution was identified to meet the requirement without additional integration, qualification, transition, and schedule risk. Brief Description: The Government requires continued ARPVT support to procure, operate, maintain, repair, transport, store, and support aerial target systems and associated equipment in support of live training, test, and evaluation events. The requirement may include, but is not limited to, engineering services, aerial target operations, target system production, depot-level repair and maintenance, mission payload support, field operations services, qualification training, inventory and transfer support, spares, ground support equipment, Government Furnished Property (GFP) accountability, reporting, logistics planning, and event support at CONUS and OCONUS locations as directed by the Government.
