Military Operations in Urban Terrain Training System

The purpose of this synopsis amendment is to provide Government answers (via attachment) to industry Draft RFP questions and to inform industry that the World MOUT RFP will be released on 01/25/2008.

The purpose of this amendment is to faciliate industry proposal development by providing a revised Draft RFP, associated attachments and the Government's best estimate of potential supply requirements. The attached .zip file contains the current draft RFP and associated contract attachments. The Government estimates the World MOUT supply requirements, over the life of the contract, to be approximately $850 million -subject to availablity of funds. This is only provided as an estimate for advance planning and in no way implies either implicitly or explicitly future requirements will be awarded.

This notice replaces the previous update that was incorrectly archived. The expected RFP release date is extended. However, the Government is not prepared to release a new date until it receives further information. In the interim, the Government is allowing industry to pose additional questions to the Government for review and consideration until a date to be determined.

The purpose of this modification is to provide industry with 1) a copy of the draft past performance questionnaire, and 2) answers to industry questions.

The purpose of this modification is to provide industry with 1) a copy of the draft past performance questionnaire, and 2) answers to industry questions.

The purpose of this modification is to provide the correct copy of the PowerPoint slides used at the presolicitation conference vs. the previously attached rough draft version.

The purposes of this synopsis modification are to attach the presolicitation conference slides and list of attendees; also, it is to establish new procurement dates. In response to industry requests, the Government has reviewed the procurement execution plan and determined to extend the RFP release date to allow for addtional time by industry to establish teaming arrangements and examine the requirement. Therefore, the new significant milestone dates are as follows: RFP release on 28 SEP 07, Proposals due on 2 NOV 07, Contract Award 21 DEC 07.

The presolicitation conference will begin at 0800 and be completed NLT 1500 on Tues, 14 Aug 2007. The location is PMTRASYS LIVE Training Systems conference room suite #440, within Resource Square Two Bldg, located at 12000 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826.

See the attached zip file containing the RFP attachments.

Attached is a Draft RFP for advanced planning, review and comments for the MOUT Training Systems. Please note the planned pre-solication conference details in Section L of the RFP. This Draft RFP contains a full set of CLINs desingated for East Coast installations; however, it only has a partial set for the West Coast and OCONUS. For your review, consider the the East Coast CLINS to be duplicated in full for the West Coast and OCONUS. The RFP attachemnt will be re-released as it's updated and completed. This effort is for a Worldwide Firm Fixed Price Requirements contract for the production, test, installation, and delivery of the USMC Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) Training Systems located at U. S. Marine Corps or other DOD Installations. The contractor shall perform a mix of engineering analysis, design, fabrication, and installation of MOUT Training Systems. Extensive studies by the Marine Corps War Fighting Laboratory has shown that units trained to operate an integrated combined arms team are more successful within the urban battle space and suffer fewer casualties. This training is required to ensure Marines are properly trained prior to deployment for real world operations in the Third World. MOUT Training Systems are required in order for the Marine Corps to conduct quality and credible Advanced Urban Warfare Training. MOUT Training Systems will primarily be used for company and battalion force-on-force and force-on-target maneuver training. Non live fire training typically utilizes Special Effects Small Arms Marking System (SESAMS) ammunition and/or Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) equipment. Live fire training typically utilizes 5.56mm, 7.62mm, 9mm, and 50 caliber ballistics. Individual MOUT Training Systems may be used exclusively for non-live fire training, live fire training, or a combination! of both. The MOUT Training System will provide a realistic environment to support a variety of training tasks related to the deployment and maneuver in an urban setting and enable Marines to conduct training in an environment replicating realist third world urban conditions. The training system will provide a challenging and complex urban training environment replicating the difficulties Marine units will face as they communicate, coordinate, maintain situational awareness, navigate, execute, and track urban operations. The MOUT Training System also allows Marine units to master the challenges of urban navigation, movement, target acquisition and engagement, and cross boundary coordination. The MOUT Training System provides Marine units a full range of tactical challenges from humanitarian relief efforts to peacekeeping and law enforcement to direct combat that might be encountered in a complex urban setting within a relatively brief timeframe or a small physical area known as t! he three block war. To accomplish the realistic third-world training mission, the MOUT Training System may be configured to include the following functional components: Government, Industry, Education, Commercial, Medical, Religious, Public Areas (including Athletic Fields and Plazas). Some of the components are live fire and non-live fire environments. These components are comprised of non-permanent building structures constructed of various materials. The structure, character, density, and features of each town, village, zone, or district reflect logical functions that are typical within that setting (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial, recreation, religious, etc.). This annoucement is for advanced planning, review and comments and in no way implies either implicitly or explicitly that respondents will be compensated in any way by the US Government for information or materials provided. It does not constitute a solicitation and should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the US Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. All information provided becomes USMC property and will not be returned.
