Initiation

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited Emphasize bridging to STE LTS and modifying existing product lines to align with STE LTS

Program Background:

BEST-MAC will be a multi-award contract that reaches out to both OEMs and similar Industry partners for Procurement of new TESS resulting from changes in Force Structure and New Weapon Platforms.

It will also be used to Support Service Life Extension for current TESS product lines and conduct Tech Refresh of the current TESS product lines to allow interface with STE Live products.

In addition this contract will modify existing TESS to keep pace with Weapon Platform evolution (Changes in weapons, ammunition, lethality and vulnerability).

We will also use this contract to conduct Tech refresh on current TESS product lines to install new hardware and software and Live Training Engagement Composition (LTEC) updates.

One additional aspect of the contract will support our efforts to conduct Tech refresh on current TESS product lines to add multi-national interoperability updates.

Acquisition Strategy:

The acquisition strategy is a competitive TBD contract consisting of a base year and multiple option year contract.

Actions to Date / Way Ahead:

A Request for Information will be released to Industry in 4th Quarter FY22.

PM ST is the Army's solution provider for live instrumented training systems.

PM ST's mission is to develop, acquire, field and sustain a family of interoperable live training solutions for use at Home Station, CTCs, institutions, and deployed sites to improve Warfighter readiness.

By managing the acquisition of training systems to meet the user's requirements, the goal is to deliver the systems on schedule and within cost and to provide life cycle management to ensure the best value products for the Army and external customers.

Background

Modify existing TESS

Provide SLEP and CTR to existing TESS

Lot may include 210,000 systems over the 10 year period

Modifications resulting from weapon platform evolution

Modifications required for STE LTS interoperability

Procure new TESS similar to existing TESS in the field today

Focus on Army Force Structure change

There will be at least 3 new weapon platforms requiring new TESS.

These procurements could be variants of existing TESS or new systems to interoperate with new weapon platforms and STE LTS products.

QUESTIONS

The SOW for BEST MAC defines the scope and breadth of tasks that can be performed under the various envisioned Individual Delivery Orders Program Management Engineering Logistics Cyber

The TESS products included, but not limited to, under this MAC are:

Individual Weapons Systems (IWS) Tactical Vehicle Systems (TVS) Combat Vehicle Systems (CVS) Shoulder Launched Munitions (SLM) Controller Devices (UCD) Ancillary equipment associated with each of the product lines

Statement of Work

The BEST MAC will consist of stand alone Delivery Orders that will define the work for each competitive offeror.

The BEST-MAC objective is to modify existing TESS as well as procure new TESS, similar to existing TESS to meet the Army’s evolving training strategy.

The MAC will provide maximum competition while ensuring streamlined DO awards. This will provide the DoD with the ability to rapidly deliver upgraded and/or new capabilities to the nation’s warfighters.
