Presolicitation Synopsis

The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) in Orlando, FL, is conducting market research via a Request for Information (RFI) for upgrading existing V-22 Marine Corps and USAF pilot, enlisted aircrew, and maintenance courseware. The upgrade involves converting the current proprietary Flash-based Kreus SCORM courseware to a more modern, Commercial off-the-Shelf (COTS) Adobe Captivate HTML5 SCORM format. This transition aims to produce deliverables that are compatible with virtually all modern internet browsers without plug-ins and are editable with standard commercial tools, resulting in lower costs and greater accessibility. This RFI is solely for information gathering and planning and does not constitute a solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. NAWCTSD intends to proceed on a sole-source basis with the current contractor, Logistic Services International, Inc. (LSI), who originally developed the courseware, but is exploring whether other qualified firms could fulfill this requirement. The program will complete the courseware conversion including the question and answer database critical for training use, supporting training environments such as those at the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training and Marine Medium Tiltrotor Training Squadron 204. Potential respondents are encouraged to provide detailed information about their capability to perform this conversion, including business size and subcontractor arrangements, especially in light of recent changes to subcontracting limitations that could benefit similarly situated entities. The NAICS code assigned to this effort is 541330, with a size standard of $41.5 million. Responses must be unclassified and include company specifics such as CAGE code, DUNS number, and points of contact, and must be submitted within 15 days from the RFI posting date. The government assumes no responsibility for any costs incurred in preparing responses, and proprietary information will be handled accordingly. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities may also engage directly with LSI’s subcontracting program. All communication and responses are directed to NAWCTSD contract specialists.
