The Department of the Air Force is soliciting proposals for the expansion of the Advanced Disaster Management System (ADMS) at Joint Base Andrews. The solicitation, numbered FA268024Q4040, was issued on September 5, 2024, with proposals due by September 11, 2024. This project is a small business sole source award and aims to enhance the existing ADMS, which is essential for training emergency response scenarios pertaining to various disasters. Required expansions include simulations for gate runner scenarios, active shooter scenarios, drone scenarios, and specific building simulations, all crucial for improving crisis management and tactical operations. The proposal process requires submissions to address technical acceptability and price, ensuring compliance with provided standards. Contractors must not only fulfill the requirements set forth but also maintain specific certifications and representations as stipulated by federal regulations. The eventual award will be a firm-fixed price contract, reinforcing the necessity to submit comprehensive and timely proposals to secure the contract. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to bolstering disaster preparedness and response capabilities within military environments, aligning with broader objectives of safety and efficiency.

The Department of the Air Force is soliciting proposals for the expansion of the Advanced Disaster Management System (ADMS) at Joint Base Andrews, under Solicitation Number FA268024Q4040. Issued on September 5, 2024, with a response deadline of September 11, 2024, the solicitation seeks to enhance the existing ADMS, which is critical for emergency response training involving natural and manmade disasters. The expansion will include new simulations such as gate runner scenarios, active shooter situations, drone operations, and specific building simulations to enhance pre-incident planning and response capabilities. This solicitation is a small business sole-source award, with a NAICS code of 423430 and a small business size standard of 250 employees. Proposals must be submitted via email to the specified contracting officers and must remain valid for 90 days. Evaluations will consider price and technical acceptability based on compliance with the detailed Statement of Work. The contract will be awarded to the proposer whose offer is most advantageous to the government, handling all necessary acceptance and delivery obligations at Joint Base Andrews. This project aims to significantly bolster training and operational effectiveness for the 316th Wing Inspector General’s Office and related security personnel.

The document presents a Sole Source Justification for the acquisition of an expansion to the Advanced Disaster Management System (ADMS) at Joint Base Andrews, awarded to Environmental Tectonics Corporation (ETC) for an estimated cost of $1,011,434. This action follows a previous sole source contract for the ADMS in FY22. The expansion includes new scenarios for emergency response training, enhancing operational capabilities in tactical approaches and incident command. The justification cites proprietary factors specific to ETC's existing ADMS software and infrastructure, affirming that no other vendors can adequately fulfill the requirements due to compatibility issues with the proprietary source code. Market research confirmed that ETC is the only capable vendor, as other companies cannot legally modify or expand the system. The document details the statutory authority for this procurement, the evaluation of fair pricing based on prior contracts, and asserts the absence of interested alternate sources. To mitigate future competition barriers, the contracting office plans to survey the market before any future expansions to ensure compliance with competitive procurement guidelines. This acquisition emphasizes the government's aim to utilize specialized technology for effective disaster management training while adhering to legal and budgetary constraints.

The document outlines the Statement of Work for expanding the Advanced Disaster Management System (ADMS) for the 316th Wing Inspector General at Joint Base Andrews (JBA), MD. The primary mission is to ensure effective emergency response capabilities for natural and manmade disasters, enhancing readiness for various scenarios such as active shooters, drones, high-risk traffic stops, and the simulation of building 1500. The expansion includes software upgrades, system installation, and operational training, intending to strengthen incident planning and tactical responses. Key requirements involve contractor management, safety protocols, and adherence to security directives. The project's focus is on preparing personnel through realistic simulations, thereby improving operational effectiveness within the unique context of JBA’s exposure to potential threats, given its proximity to the nation’s capital. The comprehensive scope emphasizes the need for an innovative approach to disaster management and emergency preparedness.
