The Naval Undersea Warfare Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) established the Training Systems Development 2018-2021 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support comprehensive naval training system development and enhancement. The contract enables the procurement of technical training services focused on ensuring the technical adequacy, accuracy, and currency of Training Equipment (TTE), Training Devices (TD), training materials, technical data, and curriculum for Navy school houses. Key service areas include developing and updating Navy Training Systems Plans (NTSP), creating Interactive Media Instruction (IMI) such as Virtual Task Trainers (VTT) and PC Simulations, and providing classroom and laboratory administrative support including installation, modification, and upgrade services.

The contract vehicle has been primarily utilized by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to award task orders to three primary contractors: Sonalysts Inc., Transtecs Corporation, and potentially other unnamed vendors. Most task orders range from approximately $75,000 to $325,000 and have performance periods between 3-12 months, with services consistently focused on training system development, curriculum creation, and technical analysis. The task orders do not utilize small business set-asides, despite some prime contractors being woman-owned small businesses. Typical task order scopes include developing training materials for specific naval systems like steam propulsion, machinery control systems, surface trainers, and specialized equipment such as rigid hull inflatable boats. Contractors frequently subcontract portions of work to specialized firms like Cape Henry Associates and The Asta Group, demonstrating a collaborative approach to meeting complex naval training requirements.
