About this file

This Statement of Work (SOW) details the requirements for developing and delivering Joint Fires Training Systems for Taiwan and Tunisia. The systems are simulation-based training platforms designed to train military personnel in observed fires, joint fires, and fire support missions, supporting U.S. foreign military sales efforts. The contract includes two distinct training systems: a portable 1:1 system for Taiwan and a stationary 1:20 system for Tunisia, both capable of simulating various fire mission scenarios using mortars, artillery, and naval surface fires.

Key technical requirements include advanced simulation capabilities such as terrain databases, digital communications systems, entities simulation, and comprehensive image and audio generation. The systems must support Close Air Support (CAS) and Close Combat Attack (CCA) training, with features like realistic environmental effects, dynamic entity interactions, and instructor control stations. The contractor will be responsible for system development, testing, documentation, new equipment training, and delivery, with specific requirements for hardware configuration, software functionality, and training capabilities. The systems are intended to enhance joint fires training for both countries through sophisticated, interactive simulation technology.

1. SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) establishes the Contractor tasks for the production and procurement of the Taiwan and Tunisia Joint Fires Training Systems, associated spares, and New Equipment Training (NET) in support of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) in the United States (U.S.) Forces Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM). These training systems shall be capable of training Observed Fires, Joint Fires, and Fire Support Missions.

This acquisition supports the U.S. Department of State in their effort to strengthen relations with allies and friendly nations, with the Security Cooperation effort as authorized by the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) of 1961 and the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) of 1976.

1.1 Non-Personal Services

The Government will neither supervise Contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances will the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual Contractor employees. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception of personal services. If the Contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the PCO immediately.

1.2 Organizational Conflict of Interest

Contractor personnel performing work under this SOW may receive, have access to, or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.)

or perform evaluation services which may create a current or subsequent Organizational Conflict of Interests (OCI) as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the Contracting Officer to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the CO and in the event the CO unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the CO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participating in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

In the event of a conflict between documents referenced herein and the contents of this SOW, the contents of the SOW shall be the governing requirement.
