This RFI is issued in accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-3 for planning purposes only. Neither unsolicited proposals nor any other offers will be considered in response to this RFI.

OVERVIEW/BACKGROUND: Training and Education Command (TECOM) RTAM, Army, Navy, and Air Force, requires technical support for the RMTK and Marine Corps Range and Training Area Management Systems (MCRTAMS) including provisions of the RMTK tools approved for Foreign Military Sales customers. The RMTK and MCRTAMS support is provided for unit commanders, headquarter staffs, operating units, range managers, cross-service users, and international customers in a desktop, web, and mobile environment. The RMTK is provided as a set of range safety standard metrics that relates range capabilities to specific training requirements using established range safety standards. RMTK on MCRTAMS provides access to and supports the RMTK for safety, range use, range planning, and range support functions as MCRTAMS stores and provides Geographic Information System (GIS) data for Marine Corps ranges and training areas in addition to other non-Marine Corps areas where the Marine Corps regularly trains. MCRTAMS also provides the Marine Corps integrated and readily available range inventory and training range database in a web environment. The RMTK is a suite of tools in the form of a software application that currently runs as an Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcMap Extension utilizing ESRI 3D Analyst and Spatial Analyst extensions, ARC Server for the web enabled portions of MCRTAMS and in a Xamarin framework for the mobile environment. The danger zone tools within RMTK depict a three dimensional (3D) area associated with firing weapons/lasers/explosives where the risk of damage, injury or death does not exceed an acceptable level. The RMTK danger zone tools allow the user to create and modify danger zones. The danger zones encompass the ground and airspace for lateral and vertical containment of projectiles, fragments, debris, and components resulting from the firing, launching, and/or detonation of ordnance. This three-dimensional zone accounts for weapon accuracy, failures, ricochets, and broaches/porpoising of a specific weapon/munition type delivered by a specific aircraft type, laser energy and direct/indirect fire weapons ordnance. Danger Zones represent the minimum safety requirements designed for live fire training on Department of Defense (DOD) training ranges.
