DESCRIPTION On behalf of the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), the Army Contracting Command (ACC) Orlando is issuing this sources sought notice as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in supporting a contract vehicle exclusive for worldwide Life-Cycle Contractor Support (LCCS) for the U.S. Army s Artillery and Chemical Training (ACT) Training Aids, Devices, Simulations and Simulators (TADSS) devices. Prospective contractor personnel must possess, at a minimum, SECRET security clearance. This update is an invitation to attend the Industry Day for the ACT pre-solicitation introduction. 2. BACKGROUND The Artillery and Chemical Training (ACT) contract is responsible for providing Life-Cycle Contractor Support for the U.S. Army s Air Defense Artillery, Field Artillery, and Chemical training devices located worldwide. Current locations include Ft. Sill, OK; Ft. Leonard Wood, MO; Ft. Lee, VA; Ft. Bliss, TX; Ft. Bragg, NC; Vilseck, Germany; Camp Humphreys, Korea as well as servicing multiple remote locations. Other supported sites may be added or removed as required by the Government. The ACT training devices are generally categorized as Air Defense Artillery, Field Artillery, or Chemical. a. AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY (ADA). The ADA TADSS are used to train users in the operation and use of radar systems, employment and use of weapons, and the maintenance and repair of subject systems. b. FIELD ARTILLERY (FA). The FA TADSS are used to train users in the operation, use and maintenance of field radios, simulate firing missions, use of digital communications, and the operation/use of the FA Operations Control Group. c. CHEMICAL. The Chemical TADSS are used to train all aspects of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical reconnaissance, including the determination of contamination boundaries, chemical agents in the air, mapping of contamination areas, nuclear explosion detections, sample collections, and vehicle navigations. The following list of devices represents the current ACT program and are being considered for this acquisition. While future requirements cannot be predicted, please use the named devices provided below in answering the questions stipulated in paragraph 4 of this notice.
