    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), is seeking information from potential sources to design, fabricate, install, and test Damage Control Wet Trainer (DCWT) devices for the U.S. Navy. These devices are intended to enhance training for damage control teams in managing flooding casualties resulting from piping ruptures and ship collisions, with installations planned at six locations both within the continental United States and overseas. The initiative aims to modernize or replace existing training devices that have been in operation since 1990-2009, ensuring realistic training environments that can accommodate up to 3,500 students annually. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their design concepts, cost estimates, and timelines by April 14, 2025, and can reach out to Lisa Castelli or Mark Johnson via email for further information.

    DCWT_RFI.docx
    The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) is seeking information on designing and building Damage Control Wet Trainer (DCWT) devices for the US Navy. These devices aim to enhance training for damage control teams on flooding casualties due to piping ruptures and ship collisions, to be installed at six locations both domestically and internationally. The existing devices, operating since 1990-2009, require modernization or replacement. The RFI requests design concepts that include specifications for physical characteristics, training capacity for 3,500 students annually, interfaces for control, and instructor support systems. Key features must reflect realistic training environments with a variety of functionalities, such as monitoring systems and emergency controls. Participants must submit documentation detailing their design concept, cost estimates, and timelines for delivering the devices by April 14, 2025. Small businesses are encouraged to share their participation status and subcontracting plans to fulfill capabilities. The information collected will inform procurement strategies and is not an official contract solicitation. This initiative represents the Navy's commitment to advancing training technologies and improving operational readiness in maritime environments.
    QUESTIONS.docx
    The document discusses the planning and requirements for a new training resource, focusing on a design rather than a physical trainer. It specifies that NAICS code 541330 is applicable, emphasizing the design aspect. The proposed indoor trainer will likely necessitate a “brick and mortar” building, although some existing facilities might be adapted. However, costs associated with construction should not be included in the initial request for monetary (ROM) estimation. The document acknowledges the variability of existing buildings' size and layout and suggests that the footprint for the design be considered as needed. There is no established timeline for the RFP and award dates, and the project will be managed by a stakeholder other than NAVFAC, which was involved with a previous related project. Lastly, it mentions that any potential cost drivers and management restrictions will be determined later. This document serves as an internal communication regarding the upcoming RFP for designing a training resource, illustrating the necessity for clarity in planning, budget considerations, and stakeholder involvement.
