the U.S. Army Program Executive , Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), the Army Contracting Command (ACC) Orlando is issuing this sources sought notice as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in supporting a contract vehicle exclusive for worldwide Life-Cycle Contractor Support (LCCS) for the U.S. Army’s Artillery and Chemical Training (ACT) Training Aids, Devices, Simulations and Simulators (TADSS) devices. Prospective contractor personnel must possess, at a minimum, SECRET security clearance. This update is an invitation to attend the Industry Day for the ACT pre-solicitation introduction. 2.

BACKGROUND The Artillery and Chemical Training (ACT) contract is responsible for providing Life-Cycle Contractor Support for the U.S. Army’s Air Defense Artillery, Field Artillery, and Chemical training devices located worldwide. Current locations include Ft. Sill, OK; Ft. Leonard Wood, MO; Ft. Lee, VA; Ft. Bliss, TX; Ft. Bragg, NC; Vilseck, Germany; Camp Humphreys, Korea as well as servicing multiple remote locations. Other supported sites may be added or removed as required by the Government. The ACT training devices are generally categorized as Air Defense Artillery, Field Artillery, or Chemical. a. AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY (ADA). The ADA TADSS are used to train users in the operation and use of radar systems, employment and use of weapons, and the maintenance and repair of subject systems. b. FIELD ARTILLERY (FA). The FA TADSS are used to train users in the operation, use and maintenance of field radios, simulate firing missions, use of digital communications, and the operation/use of the FA Operations Control Group. c. CHEMICAL. The Chemical TADSS are used to train all aspects of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical reconnaissance, including the determination of contamination boundaries, chemical agents in the air, mapping of contamination areas, nuclear explosion detections, sample collections, and vehicle navigations. The following list of devices represents the current ACT program and are being considered for this acquisition. While future

requirements cannot be predicted, please use the named devices provided below in answering the

questions stipulated in paragraph 4 of this notice. ACT devices to be supported include: AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY (ADA): Improved Moving Target Simulator (IMTS) Counter Rocket Artillery Mortar (C-RAM) Land-based Phalanx Weapon System (LPWS) Operator/Maintainer Trainer (OMT) Family of Systems Stinger Troop Proficiency Trainer (STPT) Family of Systems Avenger Institutional Conduct Of Fire Trainer (I-COFT) Avenger Slew To Cue Table Top Trainer (AT3) Reconfigurable Table Top Trainer (RT3) FIELD ARTILLERY (FA): Call For Fire Trainer (CFFT) Family of Systems High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) Organizational Maintenance Trainer (OMT) Family of Systems Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Family of Systems Fire Support Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (FSCATT) Family of Systems (Customer Support) CHEMICAL: M93A1 Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance System (NBCRS) Fox Simulator Stryker Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) Virtual Crew Trainer (XM95) OTHER: Stryker Anti-Tank Guided Missile Basic Skills Trainer (ATGM BST) NOTE: “Family of systems” means there are several configurations associated with the named device. The anticipated

period of performance is a base period of twelve (12) months, beginning in the first quarter of 2027, with four (4) one-year option periods.
