The current posting serves as the Pre-Solicitation Notice ('notice of proposed contract action quote mark in accordance with FAR 5.203(a)) for the Threat Systems Operations Maintenance and Integrated Support (TSOMIS) effort. The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) has a requirement to provide the acquisition, development, fielding, operations, maintenance, and sustainment of Threat systems for Army testing and training.
REQUIREMENT:
PEO STRI anticipates a requirement for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Integrated Support. TSOMIS will encompass providing the test and evaluation and training community with services that are capable of operating, maintaining and sustaining ground and airborne Threat Systems. The Threat Systems must be maintained, operated and sustained to provide realistic Threat capabilities for Operational and Developmental testing and training with the U.S. Army. This support will include engineering, configuration management, technical inspections, testing, evaluations, validation and accreditation, transportation, site surveys, transportation upload and download support, logistics, developmental support, integration, storage, maintenance, operations, and training including items of support equipment such as system spare parts, special tools, test equipment and depot level documentation. There are two locations anticipated as the place of performance for these services and support. They are Government facilities at Redstone Arsenal (RSA), Alabama, 35898 and Government facilities at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, 88002.
ACQUISITION APPROACH:
