PURPOSE: This Request for Information (RFI) is an effort to conduct market research for use in formulating an acquisition plan/strategy to obtain support for the Deputy Commandant, Marine Corps Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC,M& RA) Sexual Assault Prevention & Response Program (SAPR) to further expand the knowledge of Marine Corps leadership and other military personnel about sexual assault, including what their responsibilities are when a sexual assault is reported and how they can intervene to prevent sexual assaults. The objective for this project is to develop high-impact videos that engage leadership and other military personnel by having them think critically about scenarios presented to them and how best to respond in accordance to Marine Corps requirements. This RFI allows potential contractors to submit a non-binding statement of interest and documentation demonstrating their corporate capabilities and suggestions that will allow the Government to refine its potential course of action. The RFI effort is intended to assess industry service capabilities and solicit feedback for acquisition planning purposes.

BACKGROUND: In April 2012, the Commandant of the Marine Corps convened an Operational Planning Team (OPT), which developed a three-phased campaign plan to reinvigorate the SAPR program, improve reporting rates, and reduce, with a goal to eliminate, incidents of sexual assault. A key component to reaching these campaign goals is by providing training to Marines of all ranks. As part of Phase II (FY13), SAPR is tasked with developing and implementing video based SAPR Ethical Decision Games (EDG) for Marine Corps leadership, which is to be infused with lessons learned from Phase I training execution, including previous EDGs developed.

CORE OBJECTIVES TO BE ACCOMPLISHED: The draft Performance Work Statement provided with this RFI sets forth the work efforts required to support the SAPR EDG requirement. The scope of this effort shall encompass the following objectives/tasks:

• Script Development
• Pre-Production: Storyboard and Logistics Planning
• Production: Filming
• Post-Production: Editing, Finalizing, and Delivering Final Product
• Project Management Support

INSTRUCTIONS: Responses to this RFI shall not exceed ten (10) pages, including cover letter, discussion and contact information. Subject response must contain: (1) Capability statement sufficient to demonstrate performance acumen directly related to the objectives; (2) Two customer references describing similar work efforts; (3) Commercial published labor categories and rates used by respondents for similar services ( if available- this does not count against the 10 page limit); and (4) Other material relevant to establishing the core competencies of the firm. Please identify Large/Small Business size, CAGE Code and GSA Schedule contract number if available.

Response is due by 7 January 2013, 3:00 PM. Please submit e-mail responses to Lawrence Rice, Customer Liaison, at: Lawrence.rice@usmc.mil

____________________________

1. General Principles:

The incumbent is the primary point of contact and coordinator of U.S. Government (USG) activities, schedules and events related to the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in the country. The PEPFAR Coordinator plays a key role in the planning, inter-agency implementation, and inter-agency reporting on program performance. The role of the Coordinator is becoming more essential as the size and complexity of the PEPFAR/Ukraine program grows from a few projects to 23 discreet activities.

The Ambassador leads the in-country PEPFAR program and is the final decision-maker under PEPFAR Guidance to all program plans and activities submitted to the US Deputy Principal’s Group, with final authority to the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator for approval. The first line supervisor for this position is the Ambassador or his designee. The PEPFAR Coordinator is an internal USG facilitator, a communicator, and ensures the timely roll-out of PEPFAR reports and implementation plans. The PEPFAR Coordinator is responsible for maintaining an electronic interagency tracking report. The Coordinator is not a technical director and is not expected to provide technical oversight of programs, although the Coordinator may be expected on occasion to ensure follow-up on implementation of technical recommendations based on the Country Operational Plan (COP) and other performance review information.

The PEPFAR/Ukraine Country team currently has an interagency working group comprising agency leads. The Coordinator is accountable to ensure this group meets regularly, has an agenda, and is achieving objectives. As required or needed, the management working group may consist of smaller interagency technical working groups (TWGs) around themes such as medication assisted therapy, prevention or disease surveillance. In general, the PEPFAR Coordinator, in collaboration with Agency leads, will be accountable to ensure that these groups are established, have an agenda, are achieving objectives and maintain a clear file on actions taken, results and key issues.

Agency leads should be copied on communications between the Coordinator and TWGs or staff as well as on substantive communications between the Coordinator and the Country Support Team Lead in headquarters. This procedure is essential to retain trust and respect between agency leads and the Coordinator. In addition, it is critical that the Coordinator be copied on internal agency communication related to matters of PEPFAR program strategy, implementation, and management and staffing.

The Coordinator will periodically meet with the host country and technical partners, particularly when the nature of these contacts and meetings is related to bilateral coordination and information sharing. When the Coordinator meets with host country government counterparts, s/he should include Agency leads or, if not possible, consult with Agency leads. Regarding meetings that are of a technical nature or for purposes of negotiating with partners, this function will be maintained by the Agency leads.

The Coordinator is the USG lead for coordinating and assembling the country operations plan (COP), Semi-Annual Performance Review (SAPR), and Annual Performance Review (APR) development. The Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that reports are submitted to Washington on time, for organizing the logistical arrangements for inter-agency work, and for keeping agencies on task for inter-agency efforts.

2. The Ukraine Context and Background:

The PEPFAR/Ukraine portfolio is a $22.0 million annual program currently supporting HIV/AIDS prevention, including medication assisted therapy (MAT), safe blood supply, disease surveillance and HIV/TB integration and referrals, support for pharmaceutical management and commodity supply chain management for HIV, TB and other co-infection drugs and medication for MAT. The PEPFAR/Ukraine programs works with both the public sector and leading HIV non-governmental organizations (NGOs) across the country and a select number of private sector groups in leveraged partnerships. The program also engages a number of partners in academic institutions, foundations, international and bilateral organizations as well as the multilateral funding mechanism, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), which is the largest external HIV/AIDS donor. The USG is the largest bilateral donor providing funds, technical assistance and some commodity support for HIV/AIDS programs.

USG HIV/AIDS activities in Ukraine fall under the responsibility of the PEPFAR/Ukraine Team, under the leadership of the Ambassador, with principle membership being the US Agency for International Development (USAID/Ukraine), the US Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention office (HHS/CDC/Ukraine), the US Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMSHA) the US Peace Corps, which currently has over 500 volunteers making it the largest PC program in the world, and the Office of the Defense Attaché (DOA). Issues addressed by the Team include PEPFAR program implementation (program planning, budgeting, oversight, and reporting), support and assistance to Global Fund activities and coordinating with other health sector donors on issues regarding HIV/AIDS. In FY 2010, PEPFAR/Ukraine managed a $12 million program. The PEPFAR program is expected to receive $22 million for the core program with a possible additional resources to support a public private partnership and to support the work of the Global Fund.

99–No. 12499 Q and A For – Notice of REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION for Information- Technology Systems Security Support Services (ISSS) FAA Program Open Date: November 21, 2012Close Date: December 20, 2012 12555 121313 Stephanie McKnight-Bailey, 202-385-8450 stephanie.mcknight-bailey@faa.gov Question and Answers for Announcement Number 12499 – Request For Information for ISSS Recompetition.
Questions Received from Offerors in Response to the ISSS RFI
1.Our question is in regards to the resumes. In the RFI it states “The Contractor shall provide resumes with their response to this RFI for each employee. Employee resumes will be part of the evaluation process.” The contract that this will replace is not due until late 2013, thus as a small business we cannot guarantee that any resume submitted will still be available as that is a major overhead cost that small business cannot afford. Talking to the FAA Small Business Office, they agree that the requirement is a bit stringent on Small Business and will stifle competition. This will give an unfair advantage to the incumbent and will hinder competition. We ask that the government remove the requirement to submit resumes, unless only used as samples, in order to qualify this as an SDVOSB set-aside.Resumes are not required for the RFI this was an error. 2.I was hoping to confirm who the incumbent is for this requirement? If you could provide the Contractor and Contract # that would be most helpful. Thank you for your time!Metters Industries is the incumbent. 3.Is this a new or follow on requirement? If it is a follow on, please let us know the current contract number and contract value? Who is the incumbent? Is it still eligible to bid as a prime for this contract? What is the NAICS Code for this contract?This is a follow-on effort that is being expanded. See question 2 for incumbent. The incumbent is eligible to re-bid. NAICS Code is 541512 4.Is there an incumbent currently providing these services to the FAA? If so, are they eligible to re-bid? What is the level of effort in terms of FTEs and dollar amount per year and total? See question 2 and 3 for incumbent. The number of FTEs and dollar amount are still under development. 5.As we read the qualifications above, it seems that FAA is limiting competition to only those companies that have prior experience supporting US Air Traffic Control Systems with additional preference given to firms that have either FAA or FAA NAS experience. Our company has experience supporting FAA with IT security services but we do not have experience supporting a United States Air Traffic Control (ATC) System. Are we interpreting the qualifications correctly in determining our company does not meet the minimum requirements? All companies that demonstrate experience in Information Security Systems will be considered.If SecureIT teams with another company that has ATC experience and together the companies meet all the qualifications, does the team then qualify to be considered for a SIR if all other requirements of the RFI are met? Yes 6.I was emailing you to find out on who the incumbent is currently on the contract ? See question 2. 7. Who is the current incumbent for this effort? See question 2. 8. Correspondence related to the ISSS RFI seems to imply that this support is a re-competition. If so, are you able to share the incumbent company name/contract #?
See question 2.
9. Can two or more companies team together? If so, should they submit the technical Capabilities statement as one or should they submit them separately?
Only one capabilities statement is acceptable.
10. In regards to the ISSS RFI, are respondents being asked to include resumes in the RFI response? This requirement is cited in the SOW, but I am unsure if you are seeking comments on the SOW or a response to the SOW. See question 1. Not accepting comments of the SOW at this time. 11. The Government has not indicated in section C8.0 of the SOW if a CISSP certification is required for the information security engineer labor category. Please clarify this requirement.
The Information Security Engineer must demonstrate proficiency in the information security and be certified in one or more of the items listed in C.1.0. 12.The Government has not indicated in section C8.0 of the SOW if a PMP certification is required for Project/Program manager labor category. Please clarify this requirement. The PMP is not required to be PMP Certified, but also keep in mind resumes will be evaluated.
13.Is there a specific reason why the Government has included CAP and security+ certifications in the selection criteria (section C1.0 SOW), as both certifications provide less professional experience than a CISSP? The CISSP was the first information security credential accredited under ANSI/ISO/IEC Standard 17024 and, as such, has led industry acceptance of this global standard and its stringent requirements and inspired other information security certification providers to follow suit.
The type of certifications will be evaluated so CISSP may be evaluated higher then CAP.
14. Could the Government elaborate on why it requires penetration testing and forensic investigator certifications when the tasks outlined in the SOW do not explicitly support need for such certifications? The SOW is a draft and scope being revised.
15.Educational requirements in the Posting (brief abstract) PDF document are more detailed and restrictive than the Government issued SOW. Could the Government please confirm which document is binding?
See C.8.0.
16.Is this a new effort or is there an incumbent for this effort? If there is an incumbent, who are they?
See question 2.
17. If there is an incumbent, approximately how many FTE’s do they require to provide the support?
See question 2 for incumbent. Total FTEs are being expanded and will be available in future notices.
18. With the NIST’s increased emphasis on the Risk Management Framework RMF) and tasking in SOW Tasks C.5.1 d,f,g&i and C.5.2.3 encompassing RMF efforts and expertise the recently ISACA instituted certification for Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) would seem to be a fit for this effort. According to ISACA, CRISC certification is “designed for IT professionals who have hands-on experience with risk identification, assessment, evaluation, response and monitoring.” Would the FAA consider adding this certification as one of the acceptable certifications for this opportunity?
Yes
19. Our experience in working with multiple FAA systems has shown that contingency and disaster recover planning is an important part of providing information technology systems security support. This is validated by the tasking in SOW Tasks C.5.1 i and C.5.2.1 d that specifically require contingency planning expertise. The Disaster Recovery Institute (DRI) International provides the only known certification process for business continuity professionals – BCP. Would the FAA consider adding this certification as one of the acceptable certifications for this opportunity?
Yes 20. How many systems are included in the SOW scope for A&A? Scope is still being developed.
21. Have the systems been through the SA&A process and do they have current authorizations to operate (ATO)? All systems are certified by FISMA and NIST standards annually 22.Is this a new program/contract or is there an incumbent? See question 2
23. Is there a page restriction on the Capabilities Statement? Please limit your Capabilities Statement to 10 pages. This notice is for information gathering purposes only.
24. What is the Government’s estimated level of effort by labor category for this requirement? See question 17
25. On Page 4 of the RFI it states that “The Contractor shall provide resumes with their response to this RFI for each employee. for each employee, at least one of the following nationally recognized information systems security certifications for performance on this contract.” Please clarify: See question 1 26. Is a certification required for the Technical Writer/Editor, Document Production Technician and Administrative Support labor categories? No
27. How many resumes for each labor category are required to be submitted? The number of resumes for each labor category will be up to each Contractor based on the final SOW and other documents included in the final RFP.
28. Will this be a single award contract or a multi-award contract? The Government reserves the right to make a single award or multiple.
29. What is the acq Need more information on this.
30. Our team has a BPA on eFAST, FAA’s preferred acquisition vehicle for fulfilling Agency Small Business goals. Will the procurement be through eFAST as companies are already vetted by the FAA with fixed ceiling rates; and the FAA can reduce its procurement costs by issuing task orders under the MOA holder’s BPA, as opposed to issuing a new contract? This will not be a eFAST competition. eFAST labor rates were reviewed and determined to be much higher then the current incumbent Contractor. eFAST demonstrated only having one company with Information Security experience that was Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business.
31. Is there an incumbent? See question 2.
32. How many NAS systems are in scope? Scope is being expanded and can not be determined at this time. \ 33. Section C.4.4 Internal Audit Reviews: is there any form of evidence that the contractor has to produce to demonstrate compliance? The information will be provided in the final RFP.
34. Does each employee have to have one of the listed certifications or does the organization have to have at least one employee with certification? Not all employees have to hold certifications. See question 26
35. How many SDVOSB applicants would be considered a sufficient pool of candidates that would not require the FAA to engage the second level RFI for Certified Small Businesses? Three 36. Will the chosen pool of candidates, who will receive the SIR/RFP, be publically announced? No 37. It is our understanding that the work described in the SOW is currently being performed by multiple contractors – is the intent to consolidate all the work, on all NAS systems under one contract vehicle or task order? Yes, the FAA does intend to incorporate some expiring contracts into this effort. To what extent has not been determined.
38. How many systems will the new contract contain? See question 20
39. Will a list of the systems be provided? See question 20
40. Per SOW Section C.1.0 Introduction – the Government requests the following: “The Contractor shall provide resumes with their response to this RFI for each employee. Employee resumes will be part of the evaluation process. Besides having the required education and work experience sited in Section 8.0 of this Statement of Work (SOW), participants must list for each employee, at least one of the following Nationally recognized information systems security certifications for performance of this contract.”
There is no request within the separate RFI instructions (separate from the SOW) for resumes to be submitted; the request is only stated in the SOW. Does the Government wish to receive resumes with the responses to the RFI or is this intended only for the future RFP? Given that prospective bidders are in the process of forming teams to respond to this, and may not have staff fully determined at this stage, would it be acceptable to include a general summary of staff and qualifications, in place of resumes? Do not provide resumes, this was an error
41. Is the requirement for each person assigned to the contract to have at least one of the certifications listed in the SOW? No, see question 26
42. Please clarify what type of certification the FAA is referring to with the mention of “certified” small business contractors. Must be certified SDVOSB and the appropriate NAICS Code of 541512
43. eFAST is the FAA’s preferred acquisition vehicle for fulfilling agency Small Business goals. We recommend this procurement use eFAST, through which contractors have already been vetted and deemed responsible, experienced, and having pre-negotiated, reasonably-priced fixed ceiling rates. Will the Government consider procuring this contract under eFAST? If not, how does the Government intend to release this procurement? See question 30
44. Please confirm our understanding that ONLY SDVOSB submissions are due for ‘Tier one’ by 12-20-2012? It is our impression that the Government will determine at that time based on the number and quality of the responses received, if the ‘Second Tier’ for submissions from Small Business only is invoked. No, all interested companies including Tier 1 and Teir 2 should submit capabilities.
45. Does the RFI response have any page limitations? No more than ten (10) pages.
46. How many copies of the RFI response are needed? Request RFI be sent via email to Stephanie.McKnight-Bailey@FAA.Gov
47. Will there be another RFI for small businesses if FAA does not get the number of qualified SDVOSBs (This question is because your RFI document states you will not pursue information and capabilities from Certified Small Business if you get enough SDVOSBs)? No.
48. Is the FAA ITSSS program going to be separate from the Shared Services Program? Will the Shared Services IT security program and the ITSSS program work together? Yes. Like in all FAA operations, when required, organization work together to achieve the objectives of the organization.
49. Who is the incumbent for this project?
See question 2.
50. Which organization / Line of Business (LOB) will this ISSS program be reporting into?
The PMO. 51. In reference to SOW Section C.1.0, paragraph 11, will resume submission be limited to the prime contractor, or can subcontractor resumes also be submitted? No applicable at this time. Do not submit resumes. 52. Can subcontractor experience and qualifications be utilized to satisfy RFI requirements? If so, will that carry the same weight as the experience and qualifications of the prime? Yes. 53. Will the scope of this effort be restricted to NAS operational systems or also include administrative systems support? NAS and Administrative System Support. 54. Are Contractors required to include a resume for every labor category with the response to this RFI.
Do not submit resumes. 55. The RFI states that submissions should not be emailed or faxed, and a physical address is given for submission, but there is no quantity attached to the submission. We would assume that 1 hard copy submission is required to be delivered to the following address: Submit RFI via email as stated in 46.

Support of this Campaign will require planning, developing, producing, delivering and executing marketing and communications tactics to reach multi-cultural audiences and their health care influencers, including their friends and family, community leaders, providers and partners. Outreach and education campaigns will educate the target audiences on a variety of programs administered by CMS, including but not limited to, Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the Low Income Subsidy Program (LIS) and programs and provisions established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Acquisition History: Historically, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) procured separate contractors including small business and 8(a)’s to reach Hispanic, African American and AAPI audiences.

Tasks may address specific health or program-related issues, specific target audience(s), or tasks may cover multiple health or program-related issues.

The purpose of this RFI is to identify companies which have technologies and expertise that can be or have been applied to the Small Arms Training task.

TITLE: ENGAGEMENT SKILLS TRAINER (EST II) – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) dated January 12, 2012

Notice Type: RFI
Response Date: 15 days after Hands on Demo of EST or NLT 5 March 2012
Original Set aside: N/A
Set Aside: N/A
Classification Code: 69 – Training Aids and Devices
NAICS Code: 333- Machinery Manufacturing / 333319 – Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE ACQUISITION:
The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Program Management Combined Arms Tactical Trainers (PM CATT), Project Manager for Ground Combat TacticalTrainers (PM GCTT) is contemplating a new contract for a technical refresh of fielded Engagement Skills Trainers (EST)/marksmanship trainers and their weapons to a EST II, procurement of EST II systems and EST II weapons, New Equipment Training, Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I) on the EST II systems and weapons , and logistic support. This contract encompasses the application of current and emerging technologies to provide the required training capability through a technical refresh of its current systems and weapons, as well as procurement of new systems and weapons. This Request for Information (RFI) solicits industry’s feedback augmenting the information received in the previous EST RFI dated 24 May 2011.

PEO STRI is currently developing its acquisition approach as well as the Period of Performance (POP) of the contract. However, award will be made to that Offeror who offers the Best Overall Value to the Government. This acquisition will require access to information classified as quote mark Sensitive but Unclassified quote mark or quote mark For Official Use Only quote mark .

BACKGROUND:
The current Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) is a simulator that provides marksmanship training and trains Soldiers on virtually all aspects of firearms training from calibrating weapons, to weapons qualification, to collective fire scenarios in numerous environments. The EST is a unit/institutional, indoor, multipurpose, multi-lane, small arms, crew-served and individual anti-tank training simulation that saves currently required ammunition resources, operation and personnel tempo, as well as travel time and costs to and from ranges. It enables training across three different modes: individual marksmanship; small unit (collective) gunnery and tactical training; and judgmental use of force (shoot/don’t shoot (S/DS)), which includes Escalation of Force/graduated response scenarios. It simulates weapon training events that lead to live-fire individual or crew weapon qualification and training events currently not resourced under Standards in Training Commission (STRAC). Squad leaders are able to control and evaluate individual, fire team, and squad performance on numerous types of small arms weapons used by U.S. forces and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The EST Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) training reduces the requirements for remedial live-fire training. Soldiers must ‘pass’ marksmanship gates on the EST prior to going on the live range. Using the EST capability of rifle cant, trigger pressure, and before-the-shot, during-the-shot, and after-the-shot After Action Reviews (AARs), trainers can quickly identify and correct problems thus raising confidence and first-time qualifications. Currently, the Army uses EST for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) qualification as well as night-fire qualification.

INTENDED CAPABILITIES FOR NEW EST II CONTRACT:
1. Primarily EST II shall provide high fidelity marksmanship training events utilizing both performance and results feedback. Trainees must be able to zero on the EST, apply the corrections to a battle-sight zeroed weapon, and get reasonable accuracy on a live-fire range.
a. System point accuracy 0.2 mils with round to round ammunition dispersion based on U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) ballistics.
b. Pseudo real-time Line Of Sight (LOS) correlation to the projection screen.
c. Pseudo real-time Point of Aim (POA)/Point of Impact (POI) for all rounds fired.
d. High fidelity After Action Review (AAR) at student and Instructor Operator Station (IOS).
e. High fidelity weapon interface for Form, Fit and Function with Magazine loading.
f. All U.S. Army standard Courses of Fire (COF) with results feedback on doctrine scorecard.
g. Provides pre and post aim point trace for individual weapons.
h. Provides burst by burst trace for machine gun weapons.

2. Ability to provide training events that support realistic physics-based modeling for environments and models with variable outcomes.

3. Sufficient intellectual property rights in the interface protocols for the Government to allow a third-party contractor to maintain and repair the system and its weapons.

4. Ability to support High Definition Television (HDTV) format interactive video training events for judgmental use of force SDS training.

5. Provide ongoing ability to integrate the Army POR for gaming (currently Virtual Battle space 2 (VBS 2) into the system.

HANDS ON INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITY:
Respondents are invited to use the EST located at PEO STRI, Orlando, for a period of up to 2 business days from 23 January 2012 – 24 February 2012. Coordinate times with Sara Creely or MAJ Robert DeGaine. The intent is to provide a hands-on demonstration and physical inspection of the EST.

ORIGINAL RFI POSTING DATED 24 MAY 2011

The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Project Manager for Ground Combat Tactical Trainers (PM GCTT) is interested in identifying viable technologies and a new approach for the development of a EST II, Program of Record (POR) (EST 2000) to support the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) schools; Army Active Component, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard unit with a small arms training system which trains and enhances the U.S. Army Basic Pistol/ Rifle Marksmanship Program.

Market Research is being conducted to identify technologies and production capabilities of industry that could support the next generation EST II Program POR. The purpose of this RFI is to identify companies which have technologies and expertise that can be or have been applied to the Small Arms Training Task.

The EST II Program POR is exploring the possibilities of applying current and emerging technologies to provide the required training capability. One of the goals of this market research is to identify technical approaches which transfer the burden of marksmanship fault identification from the human instructor to the training system which could then potentially provide remediation for fault correction.

The current system (EST 2000) is defined as a system which is a unit / institutional, indoor, multipurpose, multi-lane, small arms, crew-served and individual anti-tank training simulation that enables training across three different modes: individual marksmanship; small unit (collective) gunnery and tactical training; and judgmental use of force (shoot/don’t shoot), which includes Escalation of Force / graduated response scenarios.

Interested Sources should provide the following information:

1). Pertinent Company administrative data as to large or small business category IAW the designated NAICS. Each Offeror is to identify whether or not the company is a STOC II prime.

2). Company history.

3). Identify company interest in the program as a Prime contractor or subcontractor to a prime. Each Offeror is to provide recent program history (last 10 years) of company past experience in delivering small armstrainers or components of small arms trainers.

4). Identification of technologies which have potential and/or demonstrated application to the small arms training task. Each identified technology is to be categorized by Technology Readiness Level rating system.
