The Department of Defense, through the W6QM Micc-Fdo Ft Hood, awarded a sole-source cost-reimbursement contract to the Center for Agile Technology at the University of Texas at Austin for the maintenance and development of the Extensible Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence Instrumentation System (ExCIS) Fire Support Application. Valued at an estimated 17.5 million dollars over a five-year period, this action was conducted without competitive procedures because the contractor possesses proprietary access to AFATDS source code and specialized expertise essential to avoid substantial duplication of costs. A cost-reimbursement structure was utilized due to performance uncertainties that prevented accurate fixed-price estimation. The primary objective of this effort is to provide continuous hardware and software maintenance and upgrades for the ExCIS Fire Support Application to support U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps field artillery and fire support systems. This includes integration with the Advanced Test and Evaluation Enterprise Architecture to enhance interoperability and reuse of technologies. The scope of work focuses on four critical components: simulation, stimulation, data collection, and data reduction for legacy Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems and Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System devices. Deliverables include software and hardware revisions, technical reports, white papers, software training, and the development of configuration management and software test plans.

Full Description

This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because there is only one responsible source as this is a follow-on contract, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements (FAR 6.302-1). See posted J&A for further information. This contract action was not awarded as a fixed price type because uncertainties involved in contract performance did not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. As such, a cost-reimbursement type action was awarded (FAR 16.301-2). The U.S. Army Operational Test Command (USAOTC) Extensible Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence Instrumentation System (ExCIS) Hardware and Software Maintenance and Development/Upgrade contract has been used to provide continuous maintenance and development of the ExCIS Fire Support Application (FSA). The ExCIS FSA is required for the design, engineering development, and integration of current and future Army simulations and other test evaluation technologies via Advanced Test and Evaluation (T&E) Enterprise Architecture (ATEA), an open architecture and standards-based systems engineering process established in 2014 to promote improved interoperability and re-use of T&E technologies. This effort primarily consists of the continuing development and upgrade of the ExCIS FSA capabilities for test planning, test driver, simulation-stimulation, data collection, and data reduction. The contract supports current and future U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) field artillery (FA) and fire support (FS) systems using the legacy Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems (FATDS) and Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) devices and operational facilities (OPFACs) from forward observer to corps FA sections. Specific outcomes from this support include software and hardware updates/revisions, reports, studies, white papers, briefings, software training, analysis and development of software test plans, and configuration management plans. There are four critical components to the software/hardware requirement in support of operational testing: (1) simulation, (2) stimulation, (3) data collection and (4) data reduction. The software/hardware must be able to support simulation as well as stimulation of field artillery and fire support systems using the FATDS and AFATDS devices. This system must also be able to integrate with the USAOTC Advanced Test and Evaluation (T & E) Enterprise Architecture (ATEA) in support of the FATDS and AFATDS systems.
