Artillery, Chemical Training (ACT)

Quick Summary

The U.S. Army Contracting Command (ACC) Orlando, on behalf of PEO STRI, is conducting market research for worldwide Life-Cycle Contractor Support (LCCS) for the Artillery and Chemical Training (ACT) Training Aids, Devices, Simulations and Simulators (TADSS) program. This Sources Sought aims to identify qualified firms for a contract vehicle providing maintenance, logistics, and program management for various ADA, FA, and Chemical training devices across CONUS and OCONUS locations. An Industry Day is scheduled for February 24-26, 2026, at Fort Sill, OK, with questions due by February 19, 2026.

Opportunity Details

This is a Sources Sought notice for planning purposes only, not a Request for Proposal. The Government is seeking information from interested parties to determine the acquisition strategy for the ACT LCCS requirement. The anticipated period of performance is a 12-month base period starting Q1 2027, with four one-year option periods.

The primary NAICS code under consideration is 541330 - Engineering Services, with a $15M size standard. While the metadata indicates a Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5), the Government states the final acquisition strategy, including set-aside (full, partial, or full and open), will be determined based on market research responses. Contractor personnel will require a SECRET security clearance.

Scope of Work

The contractor will provide comprehensive LCCS services, including:

• Maintenance and Logistics Support: For ADA, FA, and Chemical TADSS devices located worldwide (e.g., Ft. Sill, Ft. Leonard Wood, Vilseck, Camp Humphreys). Specific devices include IMTS, C-RAM LPWS, OMT FoS, CFFT FoS, HIMARS OMT FoS, M93A1 NBCRS Fox Simulator, and Stryker NBCRV Virtual Crew Trainer.
• Program Management: Overall on-site management, coordination with remote locations, and establishment of a Program Management Office (PMO).
• Technical Support: Engineering functions, repairs, system testing, technical oversight, and logistical support to maintain TADSS and Material Support Packages (MSP) in fully operational condition.
• Operational Requirements: Compliance with security (DD Form 254, DoD 5220-22M), safety, and risk management protocols. Provision of a 24/7 accessible Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) Management Information System (MIS).
• Flexibility: Ability to integrate new systems and locations without degrading existing services.

Submission Requirements

Interested companies are encouraged to submit a white paper (limited to 10 pages, MS Word, 12pt Times New Roman) addressing their qualifications and capabilities. The white paper should include:

• Company Profile: Name, office locations, DUNS/CAGE, small/large business status (all types permitted), POC, description of capabilities (defense industry training services, staff composition, academic degrees, professional experience), ability to grow, and prior/current corporate experience (last 3 years).
• OCONUS Capability: Ability to have personnel in Alaska, Germany, Hawaii, and/or Korea.
• Contractor Perspective: Management approach to staffing, ability to begin performance, risk areas/mitigation, recommended contract type, and suggestions for structuring requirements for small business competition and source selection criteria.
• White Paper Deadline: Responses were requested by October 10, 2025. (Note: This deadline precedes the notice's published date of January 24, 2026, suggesting the white paper submission period may have concluded.)
