NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE-PC-BASED OPEN-ARCHITECTURE FOR RECONFIGURABLE TRAINING SYSTEMS (PORTS) 2027The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division is preparing to sole source a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for the continued development, sustainment, and integration of the PORTS simulation architecture used in Surface Navy shore-based training systems. The PORTS system relies on the Combined Tactical Training and Analysis System, a Commercial Off the Shelf simulation engine owned and licensed by Serco North America, LLC, which serves as the foundational technology for a family of trainers supporting immediate and future training requirements. Serco is the incumbent contractor under prior PORTS contracts and has been the exclusive provider due to the proprietary nature of CTTAS and the lack of commercially available or non-developmental alternatives that meet the government’s technical needs. The anticipated total contract value is $49 million, and performance will occur across multiple Navy training command locations in the United States and overseas, including Florida, Virginia, Illinois, California, Washington, Hawaii, and Japan. The government has determined that competition is not feasible under current conditions, as no other entity possesses the required access to, familiarity with, or technical proficiency to sustain, re-engineer, or replicate the full PORTS/CTTAS software suite, including its underlying architecture, data repositories, and integration with the Navy Continuous Training Environment and Distributed Interactive Simulation systems. The announcement serves as a notice of intent to award on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 6.305, with a Justification and Approval to be made public after award. Interested parties may submit detailed written technical capabilities—limited to ten pages in Microsoft Word format—to demonstrate their ability to meet all technical requirements, particularly regarding cybersecurity compliance, interoperability, and rapid SME acquisition, by close of business on July 1, 2026. Submissions must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, though no contract will be awarded based on these responses. The solicitation number is N6134027R0047, and all materials must be emailed to the designated point of contact; verbal submissions are not accepted.
