The Draft Request for Proposals (DRFP) relates to the procurement of tactical engagement simulation systems (TESS) for the Army. The primary objective is to acquire services for modernizing and extending the functional life of existing TESS, particularly those mounted on vehicles and small arms, in order to align them with the Army's evolving training requirements. This is outlined in Lot 1 and Lot 2 of the DRFP. The government seeks approaches that can effectively integrate existing MILES TESS with emerging STE LTS TESS technology. Vendors are expected to propose procedures and processes without providing specific system designs or solutions. Lot 1 focuses on modifying existing TESS equipment, while Lot 2 concerns the development and production of new TESS, including dismounted, vehicle-mounted, and shoulder-launched munition TESS. The government will provide available technical data packages and interface documents during the solicitation phase for individual orders. It's emphasized that the effort should not be limited to specific TESS solutions, encouraging maximum competition. The government intends to evaluate proposals based on technical merit and past performance, with relevance being a key criterion for past performance evaluation. The scope of work involves modifying TESS to meet Army specifications, with an emphasis on adaptability and future expansion. This includes software and hardware alterations, and potential integration with STE LTS TESS. The work also entails production capabilities, property management, and the delivery of TESS kits. Contract details are not explicitly mentioned in the provided information. However, the DRFP indicates that the contract will likely be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) type, with several delivery orders for individual tasks. Key dates include the expected release of the final RFP, with submissions due sometime after that. Evaluation of proposals will subsequently occur, with awards being issued for successful bids. Overall, this DRFP outlines the Army's plan to procure adaptive TESS solutions, emphasizing competition and flexibility while seeking to align TESS with modern training demands.
