Description

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 

1.1. Purpose  Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems 1.0 (PEO IWS 1.0), invites interested parties to an Industry Day to discuss the production and engineering of the Navy’s Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) systems with a potential ordering period from Fiscal Year 2028 through 2033. The purpose of this event is to gauge industry interest, understand capabilities (particularly within the small business community), and identify any potential barriers to a future competitive procurement. 

Product Service Code: PSC 6930 - Operation Training Devices 

NAICS Code: 334111 - Electronic Computer Manufacturing 

1.2. Disclaimer  This notice is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or Request for Quote (RFQ). The Government is not liable for any costs incurred by attendees and will not provide reimbursement for expenses related to this Industry Day. 

2.0 PROGRAM BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF WORK 

2.1. Requirement Overview  The Government anticipates a future requirement to support production of a build-to-print mature product. These products have completed development and testing, have a stable and fully documented design, proven performance characteristics, and are supported by an established process for change incorporation. 

The contractor will work in collaboration with the program office and the in-service engineering agency across the following areas to ensure fleet readiness: 

Configuration Management 

Proactive & Transparent Communication 

Meticulous Documentation and Data Delivery 

Collaborative Problem Solving 

Technical Partnership 

The contractor will work with integrated training systems production, system engineering, hardware procurement, testing, maintenance, warehousing, repair, logistics, and documentation as required for US Navy ships, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and shore sites.  

Specific areas include:  

Project Management: Perform comprehensive program management, manufacturing, and data delivery functions. The core task is to build a standard product, have it accepted by the government, and then customize it for specific shipboard configurations. The Navy places a strong emphasis on a partnership built around three key areas: disciplined program management, rigorous quality control, and transparent financial stewardship. 

Production: Produce, Test, and Deliver the AN/T46 Battle Force Tactical Training (BFTT) suite, the AN/T52 Advanced Training Domain (ATD) Training Interface Unit, and Virtual Tactical Bridge Shipboard Radio (VTB-SR) Equipment in accordance with Technical Data Packages.  

Engineering: Provide comprehensive engineering and production support for training systems. This includes developing and reviewing technical documentation, identifying and addressing material obsolescence, managing engineering changes (ECPs), generating trouble reports for hardware and software, and documenting any deficiencies when configurations cannot be met. Provide engineering support to update and maintain the Government-Furnished TDPs for all systems. 

Tech Support: Provide technical support for inventory, production, and system lifecycle management. This includes receiving, inspecting, cataloging, and tracking parts; maintaining inventory and reporting status; and managing obsolescence to include a Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) plan and metrics. Support production, testing, creating field change kits, assisting with stock level planning, etc. Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) related technical data, technical publications, and supply support analyses (such as technical manuals, maintenance procedures/instructions, and other documentation). 

Warehousing: Estimated 8,000 square feet, climate controlled with protection from extreme heat, cold, moisture, humidity, and other environmental conditions (such as mold and mildew). The building must be insured against natural and man-made disaster. Accessible for delivery of palleted and un-palleted items of weights up to 800 lbs. and 84” in height. The storage area must be secured with access control system. 

The Navy estimates that the combined engineering support efforts will constitute less than twenty percent (<20%) of the total contract value. 

2.2. Key Technical Requirements 

Build to Print alignment to Technical Data Packages (TDP), 365 days’ time to build 

Testing: All delivered systems must pass Government-furnished operational and functional tests. 

Engineering Change Proposal: Support engineering changes, drawing updates, and other functional areas as required. 

Military Specifications and Ruggedization: Systems must adhere to various military specifications, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), shock and vibration, ship alteration updated standards 

3.0 INDUSTRY DAY ANNOUNCEMENT
