STEM Flight Simulator

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary, and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. The 22nd Contracting Squadron is searching for firms who can provide two Flight Simulators designed to engage students to apply Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines in a project based learning program. A portable product that immerses the student in a flight simulation that replicates the form and function of an airplane being flown is desired, while also having software and learning lessons incorporated that are aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The device must be a self-contained unit, that is easily portable, and user friendly. It should also be versatile enough to be used across different age groups of students. The product should have attached screen, CPU, and control devices with no need for a school to supply these items separately. The software should be designed to meet CCSS and must be included to assist STEM Outreach volunteers with connecting their skills with what students are learning in the classroom. As part of its market research, 22 CONS/LGCA is issuing this Sources Sought to determine if there exist an adequate number of qualified interested contractors capable of providing the requirement.
