Visual Interactive Simulated Training Application (VISTA™) Simulation Support

Type of Action: Synopsis of a Proposed Contract Action (Presolicitation Notice)

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division intends to negotiate award of a follow-on sole source, Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) single award contract with the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) on behalf of Lockheed Martin Canada (LMC), to provide VISTA™ simulation services in support of the Surface Combat Systems Training Command (SCSTC), Dahlgren, VA. This requirement will be solicited in accordance with the authority of 10 U.S. C 2304 (c) (1) and FAR Part 6.302-1 (a) (2) (iii), Only One Responsible Source.

The subject requirement includes the modernization, maintenance and upgrade of computer-based equipment simulations in support of technician training using simulated technical training equipment. The Synthetic Maintenance Trainers (SMTs) are designed with fault scenarios representative of those experienced on the actual equipment. The SMTs are visual and aural characterizations of a device, equipment, subsystem or system presented on a personal computer so that the external behaviors or actions/reactions attributes are representative of the behaviors of the actual device/system.

Each simulation shall be delivered in accordance with the VISTA™ Project Management Plan (PMP) as detailed in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL). LMC retains the intellectual property rights, data rights, technologies, drawings and other descriptions inherent in VISTA™ and IN-CONTROL™ course management systems, which were the basis for development of VISTA™, specifically for the U.S. Navy, under contract N00178-13-D-2002 and N00178-03-D-2030.

The period of performance is anticipated to be for a total length of five (5) years.

Responsible sources may identify their interest and capability which shall be considered by the agency. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

This notice is a synopsis and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it is not a commitment by the U.S. Navy to procure the subject services.

Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Lockheed Martin Canada directly. It is anticipated that the solicitation, N0017825R4226, will be issued on or around 20 June 2025 and will be open for at least 30 days. Contract award will be approximately 20 October 2025.
