One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) - SYNOPSIS - W900KK-23-R-0037

1. SYNOPSIS

On behalf of the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), the Army Contracting Command (ACC) Orlando is issuing this synopsis IAW the requirement at FAR Subpart 5.2 Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions. The Government intends to award a contract for the One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) program. The Government intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF), and Cost no Fee, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) services contract. To be awarded to a single offeror using a Best Value/ Trade-off system. The planned period of performance (PoP) will be 6 years. This procurement is a Total Small Business Set-aside under the North American Industry Classification System code 541512. The DRAFT solicitation for this procurement is anticipated to be posted to the System for Award Management (SAM) website on or about 4th Quarter (Q) Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 and the FINAL solicitation for this procurement is anticipated to be posted on SAM during the 1st Q FY 2024.

2. BACKGROUND

OneSAF is a composable, Computer-Generated Forces (CGF) simulation that can represent a full range of operations, systems, and control process from individual combatant and platform to battalion level, with a variable level of fidelity that supports all modeling and simulation (M&S) domains. It accurately and effectively represents specific activities of ground warfare (engagement and maneuver), Mission Command (MC), aviation, combat support, and combat service support. It also employs appropriate representations of the physical environment and its effect on simulated activities and behaviors.

3. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Program Manager for Synthetic Environment (PM SE), Product Director, Constructive Simulation Support (PD CSS), Assistant Program Manager (APM) for One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF). OneSAF is the US Army’s constructive, entity level Computer Generated Forces (CGF)/Semi-Automated Forces (SAF).

OneSAF is a computer-generated forces simulation that provides entity-level models and behaviors that are both semi-automated and fully automated applications designed to achieve Army readiness. As a cross-domain simulation, OneSAF supports the training, test and evaluation, analysis, intelligence, acquisition, and experimentation communities by providing the latest physics-based modeling, data collection and reporting capabilities. OneSAF models real-world representations at the entity level of platforms, Soldiers, equipment, logistical supplies, communications systems and networks, emerging threats, and aviation assets to achieve the level of fidelity required for a particular application or scenario.

This contract will provide for OneSAF software development, integration, test, engineering releases, annual releases, and maintenance; close coordination and technical support of OneSAF Co-Developers; as well as providing training products and support required by the OneSAF user community. The Government anticipates a 30-day transition-in period following award to coordinate handovers from the current contractor and a 30-day transition-out period prior to end of the contracts period of performance to coordinate software handovers to the new contractor (estimated to be about November 2030). This contract is anticipated to include a base year and 5 option years (6 years total) with final delivery of OneSAF to be the last release prior to OneSAF entering sustainment.

It is anticipated that the OneSAF lab will be in a government data center/lab for development, integration, and testing capabilities. Contractor personnel will be responsible for the maintenance and administration of this equipment (including software and hardware refresh, licensing, updates, and data migration). The contractor will provide facilities, furniture, and fixtures for their team (office space, meeting rooms).

Development, integration, test, maintenance, and lab hardware will be either Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) or purchased through the OneSAF Contract and Government Furnished Information (GFI) will be provided as necessary to support the requirements of the contract.
