Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, through ACC-Orlando, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Stryker Part Task Trainer (PTT) – Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station - Javelin (CROWS-J) Maintenance Trainer. This RFI seeks market intelligence for developing high-fidelity, non-instrumented physical replicas for hands-on maintenance training. Responses are due by March 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST.
Purpose
This RFI is for informational purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal. The Government is seeking industry input on various development approaches for CROWS-J trainer systems to support the Army Ordnance School's maintenance training, with fielding anticipated in Fiscal Year 2026. The goal is to provide a realistic, hands-on training device.
Scope of Requirements
The Government requires a commercial, non-Government Furnished Property (non-GFP) solution for ten (10) non-instrumented PTT trainers. These trainers must be high-fidelity physical replicas of the CROWS-J system, designed for classroom use to facilitate maintenance and parts-replacement training. Key requirements include:
- Compliance with CROWS-J system characteristics.
- Stability, dimensions, and weight suitable for classroom part task training.
- Durability and Hardening: Reinforced cabling, Helicoil inserts for high-wear threaded connections, and structural integrity to withstand repeated disassembly and reassembly by students.
- Capability for replacing and removing parts to build muscle memory.
Information Requested from Industry
Interested parties should submit a capabilities solution addressing:
- Company Experience and Past Performance: Describe experience with similar projects, providing at least three relevant examples from the last five years.
- Business Information: Company name, address, website, U.S. business entity verification, business size/category, recommended NAICS, potential teaming partners/subcontractors, CAGE code, primary NAICS/PSC, and key personnel contact information.
- Technical Capability: Describe the technical approach to meeting requirements, capabilities in design, engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance, self-performance capability, and commercial availability of services/products.
- Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Pricing: Provide a non-binding ROM estimate broken down by major cost drivers (e.g., engineering, manufacturing, materials, shipping).
- Legal & Certifications: Acknowledge responsibility for acquiring and maintaining necessary certifications.
