This is a Justification Review Document for a sole-source procurement by the National Guard Bureau for a Virtual Reality Blackhawk Simulator Gaming Chair. The document seeks to transform an existing recruiting trailer into a fully functional mobile Virtual Reality Black Hawk simulator with helicopter-specific motion simulator chair controls. The procurement is for a 6-Axis PRO (P6) chair with SFU-DOF Reality, specifically tailored for the RIARNG Recruiting and Retention Battalion's training and recruitment needs.
