Bridge Part Task Trainer (BPTT) OCONUS (Solicitation) Draft

The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) is planning to competitively award a Firm Fixed Price Delivery Order under the Training System Contract (TSC) IV Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract. The contract involves the fabrication, installation, and testing of two Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Bridge Part-task Training (BPTT) devices, with one to be delivered to Japan and the other to Bahrain, both OCONUS. The award is anticipated before July 2025, and the government has determined that sufficient competition exists within the TSC IV MAC to proceed with a competitive award. This notice is not a solicitation but a pre-solicitation announcement in accordance with FAR 5.201, indicating the government’s intent to contract within the existing TSC IV MAC unless interested parties outside the MAC demonstrate that competition outside the current contractors would be more advantageous. Interested sources outside the TSC IV MAC are invited to submit written capabilities demonstrating their ability to fulfill the requirements by November 15, 2024. These submissions should be concise, limited to ten pages, and include clear evidence of technical capacity, with responses sent via email to the designated government points of contact. The government will review these capabilities to determine if a competitive procurement outside the MAC is warranted; otherwise, the award will proceed within the existing TSC IV MAC. No solicitation documents are available at this time, and no proposals or quotations are being requested. The process aims to ensure fair competition and transparency, with the final decision resting solely with the government based on the submitted capabilities and market research.
