PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

FOR THE

LIVE TRAINING RANGES AND COMBAT TRAINING CENTERS (LTRaC)

INDEFINITE DELIVERY/INDEFINITE QUANTITY (ID/IQ)

MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACT (MAC)

Scope This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the work required to be performed for Project Manager Soldier Training’s (PM ST) LTRaC contract. This MAC will enable PM ST and other Department of Defense (DoD) organizations to perform tasks such as trade studies, analysis and forecasting, data collection, design, development, impact assessment, information assurance, procurement, integration, installation, testing, system training, documentation, logistics support, and disposal. All efforts performed under this contract will be synchronized with the previously established Live Training Transformation (LT2) processes and standards.

The LTRaC contract objective is to establish a consolidated contracting approach for range and instrumentation efforts within the live training domain. The MAC will provide maximum competition while ensuring streamlined Delivery Order (DO) awards. This will provide the DoD with the ability to rapidly deliver new and upgraded capabilities to the nation’s warfighters.

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

Future Army System of Integrated Targets (FASIT) Digital Range Training System (DRTS) Combat Training Center – Instrumentation System (CTC-IS) Home Station Instrumentation Training System (HITS) Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) Marine Corps Live Training Efforts LTRaC Lot Structure The primary focus of this contract will be hardware centric efforts but may include software products as part of a larger hardware effort. The LTRaC contract is broken out into four focus areas or Lots.

Lot 1: Range Target Systems Lot 1 is continuous technical refreshment (CTR) of existing range target systems once the Military Construction (MilCon) / Department of Public Works (DPW) infrastructure work has been completed. Lot 1 may involve work at any live fire training area to include deployable ranges, Home Station ranges, and the U.S. Army’s CTCs. Lot 1 includes presentation devices (i.e. Stationary Infantry Targets [SIT], Stationary Armor Targets [SAT], Moving Infantry Targets [MIT], Moving Armor Targets [MAT]), communication devices, range control hardware and software, and ancillary hardware. This effort will utilize the Government provided target lifter Technical Data Package (TDP) to produce target lifters to the new baseline. Lastly, this effort includes the delivery of Information Technology (IT) hardware and the Government approved range control software in order to operate the range.

Lot 2 – Small Business Set Aside Lot 2 will consist of less-complex/low risk efforts (limited to one sub-system with no complex interface(s) or dependencies to other subsystems) for the CTC-ISs, HITS, JPMRC, and Live Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Instrumentation efforts. These efforts will include CTRs of existing instrumentation sub-systems and delivery of new sub-system capabilities. Tasks include studies, analysis, development, integration, testing, production, and fielding of new capabilities to one or more sites for instrumentation subsystems.

Lot 2 will also include the work previously performed under the Targetry Range Automated Control and Recording (TRACR) Plus and Army Combat Training Instrumentation Contract (ARCTIC) contracts. This is as follows:

TRACR Plus - New IT hardware installations and CTRs of FASIT ranges, from small lane-based ranges with a single computer system to more complex maneuver ranges utilizing multiple computers with after action review capabilities and new/CTR of the Location of Miss and Hit (LOMAH) systems.

ARCTIC - The procurement and delivery of material and equipment in support of total lifecycle support for anticipated lifecycle upgrades including material/hardware equipment, with related integration, installation, and testing.

Lot 3 – Digital Range Training System (DRTS) Lot 3 will include the work tasks associated with updating DRTS ranges. These tasks include the premier live fire ranges for Abrams, Bradley, Stryker, and other Ground Combat Vehicles crew and unit qualification. The complexity of these ranges requires vendors experienced with DRTS to perform this work to reduce the risk of issues when work is performed. This will include tasks such as CTRs of IT equipment, player units, aviation systems and other ancillary hardware.

Lot 4 – Instrumentation Systems – Complex Integration Tasks Lot 4 will include the complex efforts (effort across multiple subsystems or external interfaces with complex dependencies) performed for programs that contain Instrumentation Systems to include the CTCs, HITS locations, JPMRC, and FASIT. These efforts will include CTRs, upgrades, and modernization of existing instrumentation or new sub-systems and the development of new capabilities. Tasks include studies, analysis, development, integration, testing, production, and fielding of new capabilities to one or more sites for instrumentation subsystems (e.g. Range Data Management Subsystem (RDMS), Range Monitoring and Communication Subsystem (RMCS), After Action Review (AAR), Core Instrumentation System (CIS), video, voice).

Background 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.

This PWS defines the general tasks to be performed under the LTRaC contract in support of live training requirements. Individual program efforts will define the detailed requirements on the DO level. PM ST envisions that LTRaC will support the evolution of live training systems by leveraging the following initiatives and technical concepts:

LT2 methodology Architectural initiatives

· Common Training Instrumentation Architecture (CTIA)

· FASIT

· Live Training Engagement Composition (LTEC)

· Future LT2 Architectures Government Furnished Information (GFI) software and build to print drawings via the LT2 Portal or via other means, as necessary.

Using Source Maintenance and Recoverability (SMR) codes, the contractor shall develop an items list identifying which should be repaired, removed/replaced, be discarded and the level of maintenance at which the actions should be performed with the associated cost. The contractor will document all input data, the corresponding value/cost and data source. The contractor shall provide the information required to assist the Government in the development of storage and transportation load plans. Commercial warranties shall be transferable to a third-party contactor. The contractor shall document and report to the Government:

Maintenance Allocation Chart Indentured Parts List Spares and Support Equipment Identification List Support Equipment Tool List Bill of Materials Consolidated Periodic Maintenance Plan Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) Support and Test Equipment Manpower, Personnel, and Training Inventory Catalog with DA Form 3161/2062 Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation Post-Production Support Warranty Information Initial Spares As specified by the individual DO, to reduce cost and mitigate obsolescence risk, the contractor shall procure initial spares. The contractor shall provide the rational for the recommended spare parts list. Items such as acquisition lead time, system criticality, and failure rate shall be considered as part of the rational. The contractor shall provide spare components that are the same as, interchangeable with, or meet the form, fit, and function requirements of the components included in the delivered training system and other deliverable hardware. The contractor shall ensure that these items are configured identically to the respective training device like components. When possible, the contractor shall procure initial spares on the same purchase order as the system hardware. After on-site delivery, the Government reserves the right to test all or a portion of the initial spares. The contractor shall replace all failed or utilized spares prior to Government acceptance.
