Tender Details

The naval air warfare center training systems division (nawctsd) orlando, in support of the f/a-18e/f and e/a-18g squadrons, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a contract with l3 technologies, inc. Link simulation and training division (l3) components for two (2) ea-18g tactical operational flight trainers (tofts) (device 2f201-"which is a common device for both the f/a-18e/f and ea-18g). This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis to l3 under statutory authority of 10 u.s.c. 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by the federal acquisition regulation (far) 6.302-1, -œonly one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements-. The key components required to construct the ea-18g tofts identified in this effort will include, but are not limited to, components such as the brief/debrief station (bds), the mission operation center (moc), image generators (ig), the high definition visual system (hd9), the storage area network (san), instructor operator station (ios), aural cueing system (acs), motion cueing system (mcs) and host computers.
The complexity and evolving nature of the f/a-18 and ea-18g requires that aircrew training systems are developed and implemented concurrently with the aircraft.
Aircrew training systems need to provide a robust, dynamic and accurate representation of the delivered aircraft and associated subsystems prior to or when delivered to the fleet. Any new f/a-18 and ea-18g tofts must be fully integrated and interoperable with the currently fielded tofts and will require the use of computer software, computer software documentation and technical data that is not available to other contractors and is proprietary to l3. Specifically, many of the key toft components (e.g., host computer and ig software, ios) were developed by l3 exclusively at private expense and, although the government obtained specially negotiated license rights, the source code for these components was not included.
