Industry Day for Driver Training Simulator

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is conducting an Industry Day event on August 16, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., focusing on procuring advanced Driver Training Simulator technologies for Orlando International Airport. This virtual event, to be held via Microsoft Teams, aims to engage companies specializing in creating comprehensive airport driver training simulation solutions that enhance operational safety and precision across various driving scenarios. The primary objective is to explore innovative technologies that can improve driver training methodologies, with a specific focus on developing intelligent and efficient simulation platforms applicable to airport environments. Interested vendors are required to RSVP at trainingsim@goaa.org to receive event details, with all solicitation documents to be posted on the OpenGov procurement website. The event represents a preliminary market research phase, with no guarantee of future contract award, and participation will not confer any competitive advantage in subsequent solicitations. The contact person for this opportunity is Janice Hughes, Assistant Manager of Continuing Services, who can be reached at janice.hughes@goaa.org or (407) 825-6425. The project release date is scheduled for July 23, 2024, with the Industry Day serving as an informational session to assess potential driver training simulation capabilities.

While the documents do not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, the event appears open to a wide range of technology providers specializing in driver training simulation technologies. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and no specific budget range or award value is currently disclosed. The virtual nature of the event suggests GOAA is primarily conducting market research to understand potential technological solutions rather than immediately initiating a formal procurement process. The Aviation Authority is seeking vendors capable of developing sophisticated simulation technologies that can be integrated into their existing operational infrastructure, with a focus on creating adaptable, comprehensive training platforms. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate their technological capabilities, innovation in simulation design, and ability to create training scenarios that address the unique driving environments and safety requirements of an international airport. The event represents an opportunity for technology providers to showcase their most advanced driver training simulation solutions and potentially position themselves for future solicitations by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
