AI Contract Overview

The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) is seeking upgrades to the CH-53E Containerized Flight Training Devices (CFTDs) at Marine Corps Air Stations Kaneohe Bay, HI, and Futenma, Japan. This project involves the Baseline Configuration Upgrade (BCU) of two training devices: Device 2F220 at Kaneohe Bay and a new replacement Device 2F246 at Futenma, which will replace the aging Device 2F171 Aircrew Procedures Trainer. The BCU aims to enhance the fidelity and functionality of these simulators by updating or replacing obsolete hardware and software components such as the host computer, instructor operator stations, visual systems, control loading, and input/output modules. The initiative will leverage both Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) technologies to maximize supportability and extend the service life of the training devices, ensuring they meet the evolving training needs of USMC CH-53E pilots. This procurement will be conducted as a fair opportunity competition among eligible small business prime contractors under the Training Systems Contract III, Lot II, and is planned for release in April 2017 through official Navy acquisition websites. The effort includes design, fabrication, installation, and testing phases with an anticipated Ready for Training (RFT) target for the new Device 2F246 in fiscal year 2020. The upgrade not only addresses current obsolescence issues but also supports continued pilot proficiency by modernizing critical training infrastructure. Stakeholders are encouraged to submit questions during the solicitation process, with all correspondence accessible via public Navy procurement platforms.

The government is finalizing the RFP and anticipates releasing the final RFP on the Navy Electronic Commerce Online (NECO) website at https://www.neco.navy.mil and the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website at http://www.fbo.gov/ in April 2017. The currently designated RFP number is N61340-16-R-1187; however that RFP number is anticipated to change to reflect a fiscal year 2017 issuance. A notification will be issued once the RFP number is updated. A Baseline Configuration Upgrade (BCU) is planned for two USMC CH-53E pilot training devices. This effort is for the modification and upgrade of the USMC Containerized Flight Training Device (CFTD), Device 2F220, at MCAS Kaneohe Bay, HI, and for the design, fabrication, installation, and test of a new CH53E CFTD Device 2F246 located at MCAS Futenma, Japan, to replace the existing CH-53E Aircrew Procedures Trainer (APT), Device 2F171. The BCU will ensure that the flight simulators continue to provide high fidelity flight training. The BCU program will incorporate technology upgrades to enhance USMC pilot level of proficiency and extend the useable life of these training devices. This effort replaces or upgrades obsolete hardware and software to include, but not be limited to: Host computer, Instructor Operator Station (IOS) computers, Program Support Equipment, Visual System, Control Loading System and the Input/Output (I/O) components. Both Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) equipment will be utilized to alleviate obsolescence and reduce supportability issues for the anticipated service life of the trainers. COTS will be used to the maximum extent possible. The existing CH-53E Aircrew Procedures Trainer (APT) Device 2F171 at MCAS Futenma, Japan, is rapidly approaching its End of Life. This BCU program will enable the sundown of the 2F171device and, to support the training requirements at MCAS Futenma, a new replacement build CFTD, Device 2F246, is anticipated to be delivered and Ready for Training (RFT) in fiscal year (FY) 2020.
