2 Sep 2022 Aviation Training Analysis & Evaluation (ATEAP) Sources Sought Notice (SSN) Q&A

Question 1: What is the rough order of magnitude (ROM) of this effort (if known)?

The intent is for the contract to be an IDIQ that will have multiple Delivery Orders (DOs) against it. The ROM for each DO will vary. The anticipated ceiling for the IDIQ is $15 million.

Question 2: What is the estimated full time equivalent (FTE)?

Comment: The FRI mentioned "....seeking potential sources with the ability to provide Instructional System Design (ISD) support for the development of aviation analysis and evaluation products..."

The IDIQ will have multiple DOs against it that will have its own set of requirements for specific labor categories and hours. An ISD or Instructional Analyst is a critical labor category for the DOs to be issued under this IDIQ, but there is no estimated FTE for the IDIQ as it will vary based upon the specific DO.

Question 3: What type of products that were mentioned? Such as hydraulic systems, fuel, electrical, etc.?

Possible products are provided within the sources sought notice under Functional Area #1 and 2 (e.g., Training Situation Document, Instructional Performance Requirements Document, Instructional Media Requirements Document, etc.). This will be an analysis contract in which training analyses will be conducted and reports to document the findings and recommendations will be delivered.

Question 4: Do you have manuals and/or training materials, references that should be examined by the contractor?

Comment: The incumbent is doing the analysis and was awarded a BPA for 3 years.

No; analysis will be described and specific to each DO. This IDIQ is not for one particular analysis. Per the SSN, the analyses may be performed for USN or USMC aviation communities.

Question 5: Will this RFI and the potential RFP be a continuation of the analysis or an implementation?

The IDIQ is not intended to be a continuation for a particular effort. The IDIQ is intended to allow multiple DOs for different analyses to be conducted.

Question 6: Who are the target audiences? Pilots, Maintainers, Dispatchers, etc?

The target audience is the USN and USMC aviation communities, which may include pilots, maintainers, operators, etc.
