Introduction The Army Contracting Command (ACC) - Orlando is issuing this draft solicitation as a means of gathering feedback from potential sources with an interest in the CPM Plus acquisition. The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation's (PEO STRI's) Project Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE) Live Training Transformation (LT2) CPM Plus approach focuses on the requirements, development, execution, management, and synchronization of the LT2 Product-Line (P/L). Disclaimer: This draft solicitation is for informational purposes only. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) to be submitted. It does not constitute a final solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. No funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. Any information submitted by respondents to this draft solicitation is strictly voluntary. Background In 2001, PEO STRI put the LT2 P/L strategy in place. Today, through the use of the current CPM Next contract, PM TRADE builds and maintains the LT2 P/L systems in support of home station training, deployed training, urban operations training, maneuver combat training centers training, and instrumented live-fire range training. The LT2 P/L provides state-of-the-art training systems to the warfighter using over 186 common reusable software components, service-oriented architecture services, architectural infrastructure, interfaces, standards, processes, and information technology assets. With 21 LT2 products fielded to over 200 sites globally, the LT2 P/L successfully employs technical and acquisition strategies that significantly reduce fielding time, minimize acquisition costs, enable total ownership cost reductions, and enhance training benefits afforded to the warfighter. Requirement Description The CPM Plus contract will continue to manage the evolution of the LT2 P/L and provide total life cycle support to those programs that utilize the LT2 P/L. The CPM Plus contract will continue to meet the requirements for a consolidated streamlined approach that: 1) Protects and leverages the Army's LT2 P/L investment. 2) Continues the development and evolution of the LT2 products/systems, core assets, architectural frameworks, and the LT2 P/L Construct. 3) Continues to provide PM TRADE with efficient, effective, and agile methods to deliver military training products. CPM Plus is the contractual framework by which PM TRADE will execute control of a systems life cycle within a System-of-Systems (SoS) environment to maximize the commonality, reuse and interoperability of the system, while maintaining integrity of the product lines from which it is based. CPM Plus will continue to evolve the deliberate process for managing the development, production, and sustainment of LT2 products. CPM Plus will enable using organizations to maintain visibility and control of the configuration of those systems, and SoS integration for which they are responsible throughout the total system life cycle. The anticipated nature and complexity of the LT2 P/L work tasks (ranging from P/L architectural development, system development, SoS management to P/L core asset variability, and configuration management) associated with CPM Plus requires mature and established processes, and therefore, at least a level 3 CMMI company rating. Acquisition Strategy Planning Information The following Draft Statements of Work (SOWs) are attached to this Sources Sought: 1) CPM Plus Base Statement of Work 2) CPM Plus CTIA Statement of Work 3) CPM Plus LT2 Construct Statement of Work 4) CPM Plus CTC-IS PDSS Statement of Work Contract Vehicle: Based upon the current LT2 P/L strategy approach executed under the current CPM Next contract, and successes garnered from that approach, the anticipated contract methodology is a single-source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with Delivery/Task Orders issued under the basic ID/IQ contract to accomplish the expected work. The CPM Next contract has had to date over 20 orders issued. Contract Type: Delivery/Task Order contract types under the CPM Plus overarching contract are anticipated to be consistent with the CPM Next contract - multiple types that provide flexibility and agility to the using program offices that want to garner the benefits of the LT2 processes in place for cost avoidance and conformance to Army live training standards. Contract Ceiling: It is anticipated that CPM Plus will be an eight-year, single-source ID/IQ with a total ceiling of approximately $880M.
