1 CBCS Landing Zone Safety Officer

The Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa is conducting a sources sought notice for a Landing Zone Safety Officer Simulator system to support 1 CBCS at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The procurement seeks a comprehensive virtual reality training system that includes VR headsets, multitouch displays with motorized stands, controller and supervisor positions with multiple screens, three visual databases, network equipment, user documentation, and five years of software/hardware support. The system must achieve AFSOC certification and seamlessly integrate with existing Wing Flying Hour Programs while providing specialized training capabilities for tactical airfield operations, radio communications, weather information, and ground/air surveillance. Interested vendors must submit capability statements describing their relevant experience to Contract Specialist Vincent Maniscalchi and Contracting Officer Drake McCoy by close of business on August 12, 2025. The government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price Requirements contract based on this market research, though this sources sought notice does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee contract award.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. No current incumbents or existing contractors are identified in the documentation, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the sources sought materials. The system requirements include multiple hardware components such as small and large multitouch displays, three visual databases, and optional items including furniture and a mobile simulator configuration. The contract will include on-site operational and technical training sessions and customized training scenarios specific to Ramstein Air Base's operational requirements. The five-year support period for both software and hardware maintenance represents a significant long-term commitment, while the specialized AFSOC certification requirement indicates this is a highly technical and specialized procurement targeting experienced defense simulation contractors.
