AI Contract Overview
The Montana Army National Guard is seeking market information through a sources-sought notice to identify potential small business vendors capable of providing up to seven mobile marksmanship training simulator systems to support Table II qualification training under TC 3-20.40 and other Army regulations. This initiative aims to enhance soldier lethality and readiness by replacing live-fire training with realistic, cost-effective simulation while ensuring compliance with Army training standards. Each system must be portable, rugged, and compartmentalized for transport, powered by standard 110V electricity, and capable of simulating a minimum of two firing lanes with a projection range of 10 feet or less. The hardware must include dry-fire and recoil-capable M17 and M4 weapons, M249 recoil systems, CO2 refill stations, and sixteen M4 round count magazines, with flexibility to integrate additional weapon platforms in the future. The software must deliver approved scenarios including Individual Weapons Table II Course of Fire, Known Distance Range, Preliminary Marksmanship Instruction, and skill drills, and must be compatible with VBS3 and VBS4 while integrating with the Army Training Information System (ATIS) through Learning Record Stores and xAPI for data capture and reporting. The requirement mandates that all systems be formally approved or evaluated by the Army as Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS) for Table II qualification and must undergo assessment by the Maneuver Center of Excellence. Vendors are required to provide a minimum five-year system warranty, deliver all units to Fort Harrison, Montana within 90 days of contract award, and conduct one full day of in-person operator and maintenance training. This procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 335999, and responses must include a positive statement of intent to bid, confirmation of commercial or non-commercial status, active IDC or GWAC contract details, and a comprehensive list of supported Army weapons such as the M17/18, M4, M7, M26, Mk 19, and M250. All submissions must be emailed to Adam Sackman by June 26, 2026, with email being the preferred communication method to ensure digital recordkeeping, though minor clarifications may be addressed by phone. The government is not issuing a formal solicitation at this time and is using this notice solely to gather market intelligence and evaluate potential solutions before developing a future request for proposals.
