Quick Summary
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of PEO IWS 1.0, conducted an Industry Day for the Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) systems. This market research event aimed to discuss the production and engineering of TSTC systems, with a potential ordering period from FY2028 through 2033. Follow-up materials, including the presentation slides and a list of registered organizations, are now available.
Opportunity Overview
This Special Notice announced an Industry Day to gauge industry interest, understand capabilities (especially from small businesses), and identify potential barriers for a future competitive procurement. The government anticipates a requirement for production of build-to-print mature products that have completed development and testing.
Scope of Work
The future contractor will support production, engineering, and logistics for TSTC systems for US Navy ships, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and shore sites. Key areas include:
- Project Management: Comprehensive program management, manufacturing, and data delivery, with emphasis on disciplined program management, rigorous quality control, and transparent financial stewardship.
- Production: Produce, test, and deliver AN/T46 Battle Force Tactical Training (BFTT) suite, AN/T52 Advanced Training Domain (ATD) Training Interface Unit, and Virtual Tactical Bridge Shipboard Radio (VTB-SR) Equipment per Technical Data Packages (TDPs).
- Engineering: Provide comprehensive engineering and production support, including technical documentation, obsolescence management, Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), and updating Government-Furnished TDPs. Engineering support is estimated to be less than 20% of the total contract value.
- Technical Support: Inventory, production, and system lifecycle management, including receiving, inspecting, cataloging, tracking parts, DMSMS planning, and Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) data.
- Warehousing: Estimated 8,000 sq ft, climate-controlled, secured facility capable of handling items up to 800 lbs and 84” height.
Key Technical Requirements
- Build-to-Print: Alignment to TDPs with a 365-day time to build.
- Testing: All delivered systems must pass Government-furnished operational and functional tests.
- Engineering Change Proposals: Support engineering changes and drawing updates.
- Military Specifications: Adherence to various military specifications, including EMI, shock and vibration, and ship alteration standards.
