Quick Summary

The Department of the Army intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to GE Aviation Systems LLC for Time-Sensitive Network (TSN) training services for military ground vehicle platforms. This non-competitive action is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) because GE Aerospace is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and developer of the proprietary Chronos & Helios software and associated hardware, making them the only source capable of providing the required in-depth training. Quotes are due April 08, 2026.

Scope of Work

This requirement is for a comprehensive two-day (approximately 16 hours) training course on Time-Sensitive Networking for Abrams program engineers. The training aims to equip engineers with the knowledge and skills to:

  • Articulate TSN standards (IEEE 802.1).
  • Perform hands-on configuration of TSN switches and endpoints.
  • Utilize TSN software tools (e.g., Chronos & Helios) for analysis and testing.
  • Troubleshoot TSN networks. The contractor must provide a fully equipped training environment, including a professional facility, operational computing devices, TSN switches, networking hardware, and comprehensive training materials for each attendee.

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Firm-Fixed-Price, Sole-Source Request for Quotation (RFQ).
  • Period of Performance: Training event to be scheduled within 60 days of contract award.
  • Response Due: April 08, 2026, 5:00 PM EST.
