SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Q1: Is there a requirement for open bucket configuration for this trainer?

A1: There is no requirement for an open bucket configuration. IAW Solicitation FA462024QA325, “VR Simulator shall simulate interior, functions, and controls of GL1800 Class A and GL2875 Class B deicers to include simulation of controls and closed bucket set-up.”

Q2: What is meant by “identical” in this context? Would a COTS style joystick in a similar configuration but not the same exact shape work for this requirement?

A2: Identical in this context means “having such close resemblance as to be essentially the same.” Individuals training on this system are training for real-world, by-touch skills. Any deviation in physical controls configuration increases risk and mission failure. Slight variances between real world and simulator equipment results in real-world mistakes.

Q3: Do the manual controls include a steering wheel for positioning the truck, or is the requirement to only control the bucket?

A3: Required manual controls are only that of the bucket, not to drive the truck itself.

Q4: Based on publicly available information we understand that Fairchild AFB already has virtual deicer trainers that incorporate physical hardware that replicates features of the real-world systems (specifically the joysticks). Would it be possible to reuse this hardware for the fulfillment of the requirement being solicited via this RFQ?

A4: IAW Solicitation FA462024QA325, “The provided VR Deicing Simulator shall be a complete standalone system which includes but is not limited to a CPU, monitor, external display, goggles, joystick, software, and necessary peripheral accessories as required to ensure full functionality.” There is no government provided equipment.

Fill out blocks 15a, 15b, and 15c and provide a copy with your proposal.
