Army industry-feedback notice for Saudi CH-47F and UH-60M flight training devices

The U.S. Army is gathering industry feedback on two Royal Saudi Land Forces helicopter flight training devices and their supporting services. - Government buyer: U.S. Department of the Army, Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test & Threat (CPE ST3), International Training, Simulation, Sustainment, and Live (IT2SL) Simulation; CDRL materials identify office SFAE-STR-IPO.

The CH-47F must interoperate at Al Qassim with the existing UH-60L Operational Flight Trainer and AH-64Ev2 Longbow Crew Trainer. The UH-60M must use open architecture and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) principles to support future interoperability or relocation. - Supporting scope: Design, production, integration, testing, delivery, installation, fielding, site surveys, acceptance testing, New Equipment Training, technical documentation, support equipment, and a two-year spare-parts and consumables package. On-site Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) is required for two years after Ready for Training, with an option for one additional year; CLS must maintain at least 90% operational availability. - Documentation and reporting: Draft CDRLs cover program management, requirements traceability, risk, software, interfaces, engineering, safety, security, testing, facilities, warranty, training, and maintenance documentation. Deliverables are generally platform-specific and tied to program reviews, testing, acceptance, and ongoing reporting. Technical data is authorized for release to Saudi Arabia. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, vendors, or manufacturers are named in the notice or summarized attachments. System specifications are restricted to authorized U.S. contractors and must be formally requested. - Funding and notice status: The notice identifies $58 million in available funding. It is an industry-feedback/pre-solicitation notice, not a solicitation or commitment to award.
