Description

The F-35 "Lightning II" Program Office intends to issue an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide a full range of analysis, modeling and simulation, design, development, production, modification, test and evaluation, laboratory infrastructure, sustainment, delivery, refurbishment, relocation, and product support of training systems and simulation products for the F-35 Air System. The training and training systems and simulation products will provide training events and qualification exercises which, to the extent practicable, give pilots, aircrew and maintainers events identical to those performed in the aircraft. The complexity and evolving nature of the F-35 air system requires that training systems and simulation products and training are developed and implemented concurrently with the aircraft. F-35 Training Systems and simulation products need to provide a robust, dynamic and accurate representation of the delivered air system and associated subsystems prior to or when delivered to the fleet and in support of operation test. Integral to the success of the F-35 mission is the ability to complete these efforts in the most efficient and timely manner possible. The IDIQ will serve as the contracting vehicle for procurement of such efforts. These capabilities would be integrated into the Training Infrastructure System (TIS) Operational Environment (OE) for usability within the training center classrooms.

Background
The F-35 'Lightning II' Program Office is issuing an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract aimed at providing a comprehensive range of services related to the F-35 Air System.

The mission of this contract is to ensure that training systems and simulation products are developed and implemented concurrently with the aircraft, thereby enhancing the training experience for pilots, aircrew, and maintainers. The goal is to deliver robust, dynamic, and accurate representations of the air system and its subsystems for effective training and operational testing.

Work Details
The contractor will be responsible for a full range of tasks including: analysis, modeling and simulation, design, development, production, modification, test and evaluation, laboratory infrastructure support, sustainment, delivery, refurbishment, relocation, and product support of training systems and simulation products.

These training systems will facilitate training events and qualification exercises that closely mimic actual aircraft operations. The complexity of the F-35 air system necessitates that these efforts be completed efficiently and in a timely manner. Additionally, all capabilities must be integrated into the Training Infrastructure System (TIS) Operational Environment for use in training center classrooms.

Period of Performance
The specific period of performance has not been detailed but will span over multiple months or years as required by the scope of work outlined.

Place of Performance
The contract work is expected to be performed primarily at LM-Aero in Fort Worth, TX.
