About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command seeks supplies and services to develop and deliver the Tactical Combat Training System Increment II (TCTS II) for the U.S. Navy and the equivalent P6 Combat Training System (P6CTS) for the U.S. Air Force, with proposals due September 3, 2026. This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with no set-aside.
Place of performance is Orlando, Florida. The TCTS II comprises four subsystems—Airborne Subsystem, Ground Subsystem, Remote Range Unit Subsystem, and Portable Support Equipment Subsystem—delivering range-tethered and untethered air combat training with secure air-to-air and air-to-ground encrypted data links across multiple aircraft platforms. The system operates in fixed and portable configurations and maintains interoperability with existing range infrastructure and TCTS I/II variants.
Participation requires three mandatory prerequisites: (1) offerors' Cross Domain Solutions must appear on the Cross Domain Solution Management Office (NCDSMO) Raise the Bar (RtB) 1.2 list or higher; (2) offerors must provide a signed National Security Agency letter certifying that the End-item Cryptographic Unit planned for integration is certified to protect collateral Secret or above data; and (3) vendors must complete DD Form 2345 and receive Government approval to access the Final RFP and attachments.
The contract ceiling is $232.8 million across 15 Contract Line Items covering airborne and ground subsystems, ancillary mission equipment, spares, program management, systems engineering, cyber engineering, logistics support, depot support, and technical data delivery. The five-year ordering period permits individual delivery orders extending up to ten years from contract award. Hardware deliveries are scheduled for 24 months after delivery order award; minimum order quantity is $1,000. Pricing is firm fixed price for most items and cost-plus-fixed-fee for designated systems engineering tasks. Evaluation criteria emphasize technical merit (most important), followed by past performance (more important than price), and price. Large business offerors must commit to at least 8% small business subcontracting. NAICS code is 336413; PSC is 6910. Amendment 0008, effective August 26, updated Questions and Answers (Attachment L-9); proposal due date remains September 3, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST.
