Introduction

Ground Rules Primary Purpose - To facilitate a positive exchange of information between the Government and Industry Stakeholders regarding the LTRaC program requirements and contracting approaches.

No information exchanged during this session or during the One-on-One sessions will be considered “Bid and Proposal Information” or “Source Selection Sensitive Information” unless otherwise specified.

Please silence your cell phones No classified information will be shared during this session Please, no side discussions during briefings Questions are welcome during or after briefing Briefing slides will be posted to SAM.gov

Goals in the Acquisition Process Inform/Finalize Market Research Promote Government and Industry Interchanges Maximizing information availability and promote a common understanding about our requirement Informal and interactive discussions Listening to industry ideas Determine and gain an understanding small business participation and capabilities Release of Draft Documents (Questions and Answers) Maintain procurement integrity and treat all offerors fairly Make a timely award

Acquisition Process Acquisition Process Overview (Draft) Market Research Phase (4th Quarter FY22) Sources Sought Notices (SSN) Industry Day & One-on-one meetings with vendors Acquisition Strategy Phase (1st Quarter FY23) Draft Solicitation Gain Industry Feedback (Planned) Solicitation Phase (3rd Quarter FY23) Approximately ~30 Days for RFP review (Planned) Contract Award (02 Quarter FY24)

Definitions Software Centric Effort is one that:

Has the preponderance of the effort focused on the development, integration, and testing of software New software release, patches, new features, etc.

Cybersecurity updates Migration to SOA software Embedding software (e.g., LTEC)

PDSS/PPSS

Can still procure hardware as part of the effort New IT equipment to support software (e.g., Windows 10)

Hardware Centric is one that:

Has the preponderance of the effort focused procuring, installing, integrating, and testing of COTS hardware components Can still have software development performed in order to support the new hardware components

Definitions Complex Integration / Enterprise effort:

Has impacts across multiple CTCs or home stations Has impacts across multiple systems within one CTC Lends itself to an enterprise type solution that can be utilized by other programs Requires the complex integration, installation and testing of LT2 software with new hardware If done poorly or incorrectly could impact the ability of a CTC / home station to perform training New Capability is one that:

Adds a new set of training functions to an already existing system and has not been done anywhere else. E.g., adding capabilities to a CTC or home station to address Multi-Domain Operations Less Complex effort:

Impacts minimal number of subsystems at a range Addresses a niche capability/requirement (E.g., After Action Review systems, workstation refresh) One for one replacement of existing hardware w/ existing software (i.e. minimal modifications)

LTRaC – Wrap-up and Questions Jim Griffith DPdM LTS james.r.griffith56.civ@army.mil

Government Questions Should Lots 3 and 4 be merged?

What evaluation criteria would you recommend per Lot?

Under Lot 1, given that approximately 30 ranges will be tech refreshed and 5-10 new ranges will be instrumented, how should this amount of work be divided?

1 DO for all ranges By range By installation By region of the country How many targets can you build in a year?

Interest in building all 4 target types?

Lot 3 - DRTS Questions How many total CTRs can your team execute in one year? Tier 1? Tier 2?

Do you have a different/new solution to meet any of our requirements?

How would you structure/organize the future contracts in order to execute the upgrades on our schedule?

What is the benefit of your proposed course of action (cost savings, schedule, supply chain, manpower, etc)?

One-on-Ones Purpose Ask the Government questions Provide feedback on the proposed approach Government will be asking questions Location Partnership 3 Room 300D or 320 Time slots should already be confirmed with Penny Thompson
