SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

SECTION L

L.1 INTRODUCTION

a. Proposals shall be compliant with the full solicitation requirements and instructions contained within this section. Offerors are required to comply with all requirements stated herein.

OFFERORS ARE HEREBY ON NOTICE THAT FAILURE TO SUBMIT ALL THE

REQUIRED PROPOSAL INFORMATION IN EXACTLY THE MANNER (TIMELINESS

AND FORMAT) AS SPECIFIED IN THE SOLICITATION MAY CONSTITUTE A BASIS

FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO REJECT A PROPOSAL AS NON-COMPLIANT AND

THEREFORE INELIGIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD, AT THE SOLE

DISCRETION OF THE PROCURING CONTRACTING OFFICER (PCO).

b. The primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this solicitation is 333310, Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing.

The size standard for NAICS 333310 is 1,000 employees.

c. In accordance with FAR Subpart 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition, the Government intends to make awards without discussions However, if the PCO determines that discussions are necessary, then discussions may be held with each Offeror in the competitive range IAW FAR 15.306(d) and 15.307(b). The decision to hold discussions is purely at the discretion of the PCO.

d. The Offerors shall ensure that each proposal volume submitted contains only the information relevant to that specific volume. The Offerors are cautioned that each volume of the proposal, except Volume I (Proposal Information), will be evaluated as a standalone against the criteria set forth in Section M and the evaluators for one volume may be different than the evaluators of another volume. It is incumbent upon the Offerors to ensure they properly submit their proposals. If the data is not contained in the appropriate volume of the proposal, it will not be evaluated. For example, if Past Performance narratives are submitted under the Technical Volume rather than the volume specified, the proposal will be evaluated without considering the Past Performance narratives in the wrong Volume. The volumes will be evaluated in accordance with the Evaluation Criteria provided in M.

e. Any data previously submitted in response to another solicitation, whether submitted to the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Army Contracting Command (ACC)-Orlando or another agency, should be assumed to be unavailable during this source selection process. Proposal data shall not be incorporated into the proposal by referring to another proposal or other source.

f. Proposal shall not contain any classified information.

g. An Offeror’s submission of a proposal in response to this solicitation constitutes approval for disclosure of proprietary information contained within the proposal to non- government participants involved in the source selection. If the contractor is not willing to provide this consent, written notification to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) is required no later than 15 days prior to the proposal due date.

h. Alternate proposals are not acceptable.

i. The Government will not reimburse Offerors for any cost incurred for the preparation and submission of a proposal in response to this RFP.

j. All proposal information is subject to verification by the Government. Falsification of any proposal submission, documents, or statements may subject the Offeror to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.

k. Should an Offeror indicate in its proposal that it cannot or will not meet any contract requirement; or include data which prompts the Government to question the Offeror's compliance with contract requirements, the Government may determine at its discretion that the Offeror's proposal is non-compliant and therefore ineligible for award.

l. The proposal shall be valid for 180 calendar days from date of initial proposal submission. The Offeror shall insert the validity date in Block 12 of the SF 33.

m. The proposal is due by the date and time indicated in Block 9 of the SF 33.

L.1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The BEST MAC will contain two Lots: Lot 1 and Lot 2. Each Lot will be evaluated separately.

Offerors can propose either Lot 1, Lot 2, or both.

Lot 1 - Modify existing TESS to extend product life and meet the Army’s evolving requirements. The focus of Lot 1 is to provide Service Life Extension Programs (SLEP) to existing TESS. The scope of this Lot may include up to 210,000 systems over the 10 year life of the contract. The number of domestic/US Army TESS to undergo a SLEP in any given year is expected to be in the thousands. It is estimated that SLEP funding will exceed $300M spread over 10 years in this Lot. The weapon platform managers continue to modify existing systems and field new variants. This requires TESS to make modifications to maintain weapon platform relevancy. The projected modification effort within this Lot is estimated to be four updates to LTEC and five vehicle kit modifications. In addition, modifications are required to interoperate with STE based LTS products. This work will be defined as the STE based TESS product lines evolve.

The intent is to modify the existing fleet to extend the product life, adapt to evolving weapon platforms and to interoperate with STE based TESS products for a minimum of 10 years. The TESS will be required to be compliant with the existing and new Government provided requirements / performance specifications. This lot may also be used to fulfill existing requirements for Foreign Military Sales (FMS).

Lot 2 - Procure new modernized TESS as defined in section 1. Lot 2 will focus on Army Force Structure changes and modernization of the current TESS. Lot 2 will include systems that must be replicated through procurement instead of SLEP. This lot may also be used to fulfill selected requirements for Foreign Military Sales (FMS). These procurements may incorporate Interim Contract Support (ICS) until transition to enduring sustainment strategy.

TESS is a system of components designed to enable simulated engagements, as a weapon, target, or both, in live collective military training exercises. TESS employ combinations of technologies to generate realistic engagements between weapons and targets, and battlefield effects.

The TESS products are:

a. Dismount TESS products are TESS products worn by the soldier or attached to or used with the soldier’s individual service rifle. For the purpose of this RFP, Dismount TESS products include:

Individual Weapons Systems (IWS), Universal Controller Devices (UCD), Small Arm Transmitter (SAT)

b. Shoulder Launched Munitions (SLM) TESS products are guided or unguided Shoulder-fired missiles, shoulder launch missiles, or man-portable missile TESS products. For the purpose of this RFP, SLM TESS products include:

Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) launcher, AT-4, Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM)

c. Vehicle TESS products are TESS products affixed to tactical vehicles or aircrafts. For the purpose of this RFP, Vehicle TESS products include:

Tactical Vehicle Systems TESS (TVS) Combat Vehicle Systems TESS (CVTESS) Vehicle TESS (VTESS), Mobile Gun System TESS (MGS TESS), MILES XXI Stryker, Attack Helicopter (AH-64) TESS, Blackhawk Utility Helicopter (UH-60) TESS, Chinook Cargo Helicopter (CH-47) TESS, Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) TESS.

d. The following STE-based TESS products are covered under this effort:
