Army Program Executive Officer for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Program Manager Cyber Test Training (PM CT2), Threat Systems Management Office (TSMO), to provide Air Defense Artillery Targets (ADA-T). The anticipated contract is a follow-on effort to W900KK-20-D-00061 and will be a Single Award Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contact with a 60 month ordering period with task orders issued against the IDIQ as needs arise. The anticipated award date for the IDIQ is 1st Quarter FY 2022. ACC-O on behalf of the PEO STRI is issuing this sources sought notice as a means of conducting market research to identify potential sources having an interest in and possess the resources and capability to support the requirement. This requirement will be competed in its entirety and will not be subdivided. Interested vendors must be able to produce all three target variants and each must meet the Performance Specification. The ADA-T program is established to produce the MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 aerial targets to meet the performance specifications. The ADA Targets program enables the TSMO to provide aerial target support to Army, Navy, USMC, and Foreign Military Sales training customers as well as the Defense, Army, Navy, and Air Force research, development and test communities with a consistent aerial target capability provided by proven systems to maintain their qualification training requirements and complete development and testing of new weapon systems. The ADA-T contract will provide for production of aerial targets and support equipment; aerial target services for customer research, development, test and training requirements; and a repository of target assets available for employment by U.S. Federal Agencies and approved Foreign Military Sales customers. The results of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement, if a requirement materializes. Based on the responses to this sources sought notice, the requirement may be set-aside for small businesses (in full or in part) or procured through full and open competition. All small business set-aside categories will be considered. DISCLAIMER: “THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO BE SUBMITTED.
