Intent to Sole Source for Aircraft Simulator Relocation

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) intends to contract using other than full and open competition for the dismantle, relocation and re-installation of several Boeing 767 Aircraft Cabin Training Simulators (ACTS) as well as the reconfiguration of a Platform I ACTS currently in place.  Accordingly, the TSA intends to award a purchase order to Newton Design LLC, 26015 E ADMIRAL PL CATOOSA, OKLAHOMA 74015-5743. This contract will address the requirements of dismantling and relocation of existing Aircraft Cabin Training Simulators (ACTS) at the Transportation Security Administration Training Center (TSATC) and Field Offices throughout the country.

This will require the removal of these highly specialized aircraft simulators from commercial office spaces throughout the country, transportation of the components back to the TSATC in Atlantic City, NJ and then the reassembly of the same into a rugged aircraft simulator that can withstand the rigors of dynamic law enforcement training. In addition, TSA seeks to consolidate the parts from 3 different 50’ aircraft simulators located in 3 different states to make 1 larger 100’ aircraft simulator at the TSATC.
