Consolidated Product-Line Management (CPM) Plus - Request for Proposal (RFP)

27 JUNE 2019 UPDATE: The Government is currently reviewing all contractor questions/comments in regard to the RFP. Responses to these questions/comments are anticipated to be posted to FBO the week of 1 July 2019..

Request for Proposal (RFP) for Consolidated Product-Line Management (CPM) Plus
Introduction
The U.S. Army Contracting Command (ACC) - Orlando, on behalf of the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation's (PEO STRI's) Project Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE) office, is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Consolidated Product-Line Management (CPM) Plus acquisition.
Background
In 2001, PEO STRI put a strategy in place for a Live Training Transformation (LT2) Product Line (P/L). Today, through the use of the current CPM Next contract, PM TRADE builds and maintains the LT2 P/L systems in support of home station training, deployed training, urban operations training, maneuver combat training centers training, and instrumented live-fire range training. The LT2 P/L provides state-of-the-art training systems to the warfighter using over 186 common reusable software components, service-oriented architecture services, architectural infrastructure, interfaces, standards, processes, and information technology assets. With 21 LT2 products fielded to over 200 sites globally, the LT2 P/L successfully employs technical and acquisition strategies that significantly reduce fielding time, minimize acquisition costs, enable total ownership cost reductions, and enhance training benefits afforded to the warfighter.
Requirement Description
The CPM Plus approach focuses on the requirements, development, execution, management, and synchronization of the LT2 P/L. The CPM Plus contract will continue to manage the evolution of the LT2 P/L and provide total life cycle support to those programs that utilize the LT2 P/L. The CPM Plus contract will continue to meet the requirements for a consolidated streamlined approach that:
1) Protects and leverages the Army's LT2 P/L investment;
2) Continues the development and evolution of the LT2 products/systems, core assets, architectural frameworks, and the LT2 P/L Construct;
3) Continues to provide PM TRADE with efficient, effective, and agile methods to deliver military training products.
CPM Plus is the contractual framework by which PM TRADE will execute control of a systems life cycle within a System-of-Systems (SoS) environment to maximize the commonality, reuse and interoperability of the system, while maintaining integrity of the product lines from which it is based. CPM Plus will continue to evolve the deliberate process for managing the development, production, and sustainment of LT2 products. CPM Plus will enable using organizations to maintain visibility and control of the configuration of those systems, and SoS integration for which they are responsible throughout the total system life cycle.
The anticipated nature and complexity of the LT2 P/L work tasks (ranging from P/L architectural development, system development, SoS management to P/L core asset variability, and configuration management) associated with CPM Plus requires mature and established processes, and therefore, at least a level 3 CMMI company rating.
Acquisition Strategy
The Government is issuing a Full and Open Competition RFP for the award of a single-source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract, with an 8-year ordering period (one 5-year base, three 1-year options) for the CPM Plus effort. The anticipated award date is January 2020. The maximum total ID/IQ ceiling value of CPM Plus to be awarded is $883M, inclusive of all years of performance.
The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this effort is 333318, Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing, and has a size standard of 1,000 employees.
Proposal Submission
Questions/comments in response to this RFP are due by 4:00 PM Eastern on June 7, 2019. Proposals are due by 4:00 PM Eastern on July 10, 2019. Video presentations are due by 4:00 PM Eastern on July 17, 2019. All responses shall be sent via email to the Contract Specialist, Mr. Matthew Edson, at matthew.j.edson.civ@mail.mil..
