SOLICITATION DESCRIPTION: The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a new update to the LCAC curriculum and FoT with System Baseline Configuration (SBC) 4 Block Cycle (BC) 7 Variant 1.0, to correct identified deficiencies, and to update functionality in accordance with revised LCAC SEAOPS.

This requirement will be delivered to San Diego, CA; and Virginia Beach, VA sites. This effort is planned for DiSTI Corporation under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”

The LCAC vehicle is a high speed, ship to shore, and over the beach amphibious landing craft that transports equipment, personnel, and weapon systems from ships located beyond the horizon, through the surf zone, and across the beach to hard landing zones beyond the shoreline.

The LCAC family of training systems replicates craft functionality with part task training capability in the Operator & Maintenance Classroom trainer (20G8-F), desktop simulation in Virtual Environment LCAC (VELCAC) (20G9), and full immersion in the LCAC Full Mission Trainer (FMT) (20G6).

The contractor shall update LCAC training with SBC4 (CCD 582) and BC7 V1.0 (CCD 583) configuration-based deficiencies and SEAOPS changes. Changes are required in the LCAC FMT, VELCAC, and the Operations, Craft Control and LCAC Mechanical Maintenance Computer Based Training (CBT) to address revised operations procedures. To implement the SBC4 BC7 V1.0 configuration updates into LCAC training, the contractor shall be required to modify the LCAC trainer software across the LCAC family of trainers. The contractor shall update the displays, controls, and alerts in the LCAC trainer software that are affected by the SEAOPS changes.
