Description
The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) is conducting market research to determine if any other vendors besides Battlespace Simulations LLC (BSI) can perform a full refurbishment and upgrade of the Portable Lightweight Designator/Rangefinder (PLDR) and Common Laser Range Finder‑Integrated Capability (CLRF‑IC) components of the Combined Arms Virtual Environment (CAVE) trainer. The effort involves hardware replacement, software/firmware integration, optical calibration, and operational testing, with most work performed at the contractor’s facility and final integration at the Expeditionary Warfare Training Group, Pacific (EWTGPAC) in San Diego, CA. NAWCTSD seeks capability statements, experience, schedule, and rough order of magnitude cost information; no proposals or quotations are being requested at this stage. The response deadline is 4:30 pm EST, 15 September 2026.
• Refurbishment of PLDR units and CLRF‑IC targeting assets.
• Replacement of internal display mechanisms and baseline operational testing.
• Installation of proprietary BSI software/firmware plug‑ins; only BSI holds the source code and calibration tooling.
• Work split: ~80 % performed at contractor’s facility, ~20 % on‑site at EWTGPAC (San Diego, CA).
• Anticipated contract award in September 2026 with a 60‑day performance period after award.
• Responses limited to 10 pages; must include capabilities, experience, schedule, small‑business participation, and ROM cost.
