Notice of Intent to Award-Sole Source Procurement: Joint Deployment Logistics Model (JDLM)Interface to the Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC)

Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) Project Manager Synthetic Environment (PM SE) has a requirement to purchase licensing rights and a Software Development Kit (SOK) from Tapestry Solutions, Inc. to maintain the JDLM interface to the JLCCTC for a three-year period. This effort is required for the design, development, integration, test, management, documentation, exercise support and training, and delivery/fielding of the JDLM software as the logistics component of the JLCCTC and US JFCOM J-7 (JWFC) Joint Live-Virtual-Constructive(JLVC) constructive training federations. Tapestry Solutions, Inc. has sole proprietary rights to the software used in JDLM.

JDLM was developed in 1998 to support U.S. Army Europe's then evolving role from Cold War defense to expeditionary force operations. JDLM eventually became the U.S. Army and Marine Corps choice for high fidelity logistics simulations and training. JDLM is and has been in use at the Army logistics training center at Fort Lee, VA and is a crucial part of the JLCCTC. JDLM is the only logistics model used with JLCCTC. It provides stimulation for the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE), Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4), and Logistic Functional Area Services (LOGFAS).

The Government intends to purchase the use of the JDLM license through a licensing agreement required for continued use of JDLM as part of the Army's training capability. Additionally, the Government intends to purchase the SOK to provide the ability for JLCCTC development contractors to modify the JDLM software to meet JLCCTC and Army training requirements.

This effort will temporarily continue JDLM development and Post Deployment Software Support (PDSS) for a period not to exceed 12 months, to support ongoing training of the Army Corps, Divisions, and Brigades. It is imperative that JDLM development and PDSS continue in order to ensure logistics simulation capability to support training. Continued JDLM development and PDSS is imperative to ensure its viability as an effective Army training vehicle. Future JDLM development and PDSS efforts are being executed under the current JLCCTC development contract that was awarded as a full and open competition to Phoenix Defense.

ACQUISITION APPROACH: The Government anticipates that the requirement will be fulfilled by a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract in accordance with FAR Part 6.302. The Government intends to pursue a sole source award to Tapestry Solutions, Inc. under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."

The period of performance for this effort is three years and will include a one-year base award and two one-year options.

ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE: Approximately $1.2M
