502 TDS – Mission & Vision

● Mission: The 502 TDS is located on Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA)

– Randolph designs, develops, manufactures, and maintains training devices and simulators for the entire Department of Defense (DoD) community.

● Vision: The 502 TDS envisions TDIII as a successful contract vehicle to assist with the efficient procurement of specialized items and services for DoD customers.

502 TDS – Working Abilities

The 502 TDS has in-house capabilities to complete all steps of a project’s life cycle, including production, fabrication, funds management, and design/development. These skills include some of the following:

On-staff subject matter experts (SMEs) for structural, mechanical, and electrical components.

Production of industrial fabrication through machining, sheet metal assembly, corrosion control, painting, welding, and carpentry.

Use of computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines, various routers, water jet cutter, engraving and printed circuit board building, and a sintering center.

Ability to dispatch personnel to perform on-site assembly, field repairs, modifications, and hardware/software training on finished systems.

502 TDS – Notable 502 TDS-Developed Simulators

The 502 TDS has produced a wide array of simulators and other training resources for a variety of customers .

The C-17 and C-130 Aeromedical Evacuation Trainers (AMETs): C-17 and C-130

AMETs are USAF full-immersion trainers for doctors, nurses, attendants, and/or other aeromedical flight crew to train in the care and management of patients, both on the ground and in-flight.

Ambu-Lift: The Ambu-Lift is used by Total Force flight nurses, aeromedical evacuation technicians, and critical care air transport teams for training in the familiarization and operation of ambulances, including the loading and securing of patients, function of the engine and drive drain, and the location and proper use of the electrical, lighting, and hydraulic control panels.

Unaided Night Vision Trainer: The Unaided Night Vision Trainer is used by the

Aerospace Physiology Career Field to develop the inherent visual abilities of trainees to improve aircraft attentiveness, scanning techniques, and mental interpretation of images within the eyes.

502 TDS – Notable Ongoing/Past IDIQ Efforts

● As a part of the TDII IDIQ, the 502 TDS accomplished a number of efforts for a variety of DoD customers, including the USAF and the US Navy:

○ T-45 Mission Computer Alternative (MCA) Support: Common Mission

Computing and Displays (CMCD), Navy Program Manager Air (PMA) 209 sustainment/maintenance of software and hardware for the T-45 Goshawk fleet, including a Multi-Use Environment (MULE).

○ Joint Adaption of Requirements for Virtual and Intelligent Simulators

(JARVIS) Training System Support Center (TSSC): Development and support of a JARVIS TSSC to perform air vehicle and air vehicle system simulation activities.

○ Flight Attendant (FA) Fuselage Trainer (FuT): Full-scale replicas of the

C-37 and C-32/C-40 galley and passenger area for training by 1A6 Flight

Attendants during Flight Attendant Initial Mission Qualification training.

502 TDS – Aircraft Moves

● As a part of TDIII, the 502 TDS has a specific requirement for the ability to move aircraft fuselage which will be transformed into various trainers, including Aeromedical Evacuation Trainers (AMETs).

● In the past, the 502 TDS has relocated C-17, C-130, KC-135, and HH-60 fuselages

Answers to Preliminary Questions

1. Will there be any Authority to Operate (ATO) requirements on the TDIII program? Typically, we do not handle ATOs at this level, however this could be a customer driven requirement and we must stay cognizant of things that could affect a negative outcome on an ATO as programs are developed.

2. Will the TDIII trainers (where applicable) be required to be part of the

Simulator Common Architecture Requirement Standards (SCARS) program?

SCARS is still in the development and rollout phase and is not currently viable for anything that the 502 TDS or its customers would be involved with at this time.

3. Will the contractor be required to perform repairs of trainer components/modules at site (depot repairs) Yes, there is this potential.

Answers to Preliminary Questions, cont.

4. The PWS mentions anywhere in the world delivery, could the Government give us the top three potential locations for global delivery? No, this cannot be forecasted at this time.

5. The PWS mentions acquiring retired aircraft, does the Government have a recommended/most common approach? If the Contractor were to perform work on an acquired retired aircraft, this aircraft will be provided by the

Government as GFE.

6. Are there any other “hot buttons” or critical aspects to program execution?

No

7. Who is the 502 TDS’ most common customers in the DoD? Primarily the

Air Force and Navy.

8. Will bids that include large businesses be accepted? We are currently in the market research stage and have not determined an Acquisition Strategy yet. As such, no set-aside determination has been made.

9. Are you committed to a small business acquisition? We are currently in the market research stage and have not determined an Acquisition Strategy yet. As such, no set-aside determination has been made.

10. Will the acquisition remain a multi-award BPA or are you considering a single award? This requirement is currently anticipated to be a single award

IDIQ contract. However, we are currently in the market research stage and have not determined an Acquisition Strategy yet.

11. What’s the on-site requirement? The primary place of performance for development and integration will be at the Contractor’s facilities. However, installation, testing and/or delivery may be on site at multiple Government locations in CONUS and OCONUS. Specific places of performance will be defined in each of the individual Task Orders.
