Program Description. The Office of Program Management Saudi Arabian National Guard (OPM SANG) has a requirement to outfit an Indoor Firing Range. PEO STRI Project Manager for Training Devices (PM TRADE), Product Manager for Foreign Military Sales (APM FMS) is seeking Indoor Firing Range (IFR) technical capabilities statement, a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM), a notional Performance Schedule estimate, as well as information on potential offerors' products and types of services. Scope. The ranges will provide live-fire training on targets that develop lethal force decision making skills. The indoor facilities will allow training opportunities six hours a day, five days a week. The 50 meter-14 lane and two 2 moving targets, tactical training ranges will be designed to allow cross lane firing and for shooters to approach targets to within 7 meters. The ranges will be designed to allow the basic rifles and sidearms from .50 caliber and below, including the 12 gauge shotgun. Construction of the IFR is being accomplished through a Saudi Arabian company and is not part of this effort. Objective. The range integrator, known hereafter as the Contractor, shall be responsible for: 1. Coordinating the targetry delivery and installation. 2. Installing a Public Address system 3. Installling a Bullet Trap system. 4. Installation drawings. 5. Hardware and software design. 6. Installation of a Range Control System (RCS) in an observation room. 7. Providing a wireless Hand Held Controller (HHC) to control targets. 8. Ensuring that equipment fits into the facility constructed by SANG. Required Capabilities The IFR consists of a PA system, bullet trap system, dust collection unit, spent round collection system, passive steel targets, Shoot/Don't Shoot (S/DS) turning targets, Running Man (RM) targets, shot timers and a live-fire video projection system (VPS). The S/DS and RM targets need to be controlled by the RCS and the HHC. All equipment must comply with OSHA and EPA standards with the overall system focus on minimizing hazardous materials and conditions. The following are the recommended hardware and software capabilities required for the IFR: 1. Control. All control data transmitted through wires shall be above the baffles going down range and shall be protected from firing. No conduit or wiring shall be located within the range in a position that could possibly be damaged from gunfire. 2. Repair/Install. All 16 targets (14 lane and 2 moving targets), SD/S and RM targets must be easy to install, remove, repair, and replace by range personnel. 3. Availability. The equipment should be designed to provide 98 percent availability when operated 6 hours per day, 5 days a week. 4. Range start up and shut down must be expedient and the procedures straightforward. 5. Range equipment should have corrosive protectorate(s) or be made of materials that inhibit rust, excluding the ramps for the bullet traps. 6. Devices/equipment should be of such quality that provides minimum of 10 years service life. 7. Each mechanism, exceeding $5,000 dollar-value, will require an IUID data plate. 8. Provide Silhouette Target type recommendation and the latest S/DS Target Mechanisms, Shot Timers, and Line of Sight/Miss or Hit capability. 9. Range Control Station: A. Hardware/Software--open system architecture; employ COTS standards/systems max extent possible B. Memory-non-volatile C. Software supplied with license provided D. Uninterruptable Power Source capable of system operation until data saved and normal shut down 10. Hand Held Controller A. Lightweight-10 pounds or less optimal B. One hand operation capable C. Power Source rechargeable (100%) within 8 hours D. Low power indicator E. Power Source units to sustain 6 hours a day; five days operational use F. Scenario storage capability E. Night operation capable without night vision inhibition F. Scenario transfer capable to another HHC G. 16 target (eaches) handling (minimum) H. Manual and preprogrammed target control capable-group or single targets I. Data printable via download to another computer 11. Bullet Trap A. Absorb fired ammunition, including acute angle strikes B. Prevent splash backs and ricochets C. Dust collection capability incorporated D. Collection system-mining system to rid trap of bullets E. Range observation room control of the bullet trap, dust/bullet collection 12. Public Address (PA) System A. Turn-key system B. Audible coverage of entire range Training, Manuals, and Contractor Logistical Support (CLS) 1. Requirements A. Training plans (Operator and Maintenance) B. Operator Training (New Equipment Training)-10 personnel C. Maintenance Training-10 personnel D. Tech manuals E. CLS-3 years ACQUISITION APPROACH: The Government anticipates that the FMS SANG IFR effort will be fulfilled via Firm-Fixed Priced (FFP) Contract. Contract vehicle is TBD. For ROM purposes, assume a period of performance is 36 months beginning September 2013.
