THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS ANNOUNCEMENT; A MARKET SURVEY FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR QUOTES AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. NO REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE MADE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO THIS SYNOPSIS OR ANY FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION REQUESTS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SYNOPSIS IS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF POTENTIALLY QUALIFIED SOURCES AND THEIR SIZE CLASSIFICATIONS (SMALL BUSINESS, LARGE BUSINESS, ETC.) PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF A SOLICITATION, AS ONE DOES NOT EXIST.

The purpose of this market research (Source Sought Synopsis) is to determine if there are sources that can supply an existing requirement. The Government is seeking, qualified, experienced sources, with information to provide two (2) 3-D interactive computer models, one simulating on-base conditions and one illustrating off-base conditions. In order to maximize teaching effectiveness, Incident Management Course instructors require the development of three-dimensional (3-D) interactive teaching aids to be used in conjunction with script-driven, contractor-created realistic scenarios. To have the intricate descriptive aspects related to the aforementioned ‘conditions' supplied by the government. Develop a multi-scene on-base accident/incident scenario along with one for off-base incorporating motion and video in both. 3-D model dimensions should be scaled to the existing map in accordance with instructors' direction using photogrammetric, traditional measurements and CAD file drawings. Finished scenarios will simulate actual accidents/incidents to the highest degree possible so that students' experiences and responses are genuine. In order to enhance realism, scenarios are to integrate authentic touches such as fog, fire, smoke, recognizable characters, composited images, video, voice-overs, music, sound effects and the like according to government-provided scripts and/or story boards. Commercial-grade off-the-shelf software will be used to provide solid modeling and animation technology that simulates generic on-base and off-base terrain in three dimensions. In addition, the contractor is to work with IMC instructors to develop interactive, script-driven exercise scenarios for use in teaching best practices to accident/incident responders. Some examples of possible scenarios follow:
a.) A Chinook (helicopter) crash on an highway close to a military installation. b.) An F-15 (fighter aircraft) crash in an off-base reservoir. c.) A report of animal rights activists on the base runway. d.) A major fire on an AF base. The anticipated period of performance is 1 September 2009 - 31 August 2010 with four (4) option years. A site visit is tentatively scheduled in June 2009.

Therefore, the Government is requesting that interested concerns with background in accident reconstruction and training aid development furnish the following information:

(1) Company name, address, point of contact, voice and fax telephone numbers and e-mail address(s).

(2) Type of business, i.e., small, small disadvantaged, woman-owned, HubZone, serviced-disabled veteran-owned small business, large business, etc.

(3) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code

E-mail responses to this request for information are preferred, and should be sent to: tamika.jackson@maxwell.af.mil. All questions must be submitted in writing and forwarded to the aforementioned point of contact. Mailed responses should be submitted to the attention of SSgt Jackson, 42d Contracting Squadron, 50 LeMay Plaza South, Bldg 804, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-6334.
