Intent to Sole Source – Small Boat Trainer Simulators for USCG TRACEN Yorktown

The U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown intends to award a sole source contract for the procurement, assembly, and operational verification of thirty-five custom-built small boat desktop simulators. The simulators must be custom-built to Coast Guard specifications, accurately replicating the handling characteristics of the CG 26’ RB-S II and 47’ Motor Life Boat (MLB), as well as the new CG 29’ RB-S II model. The simulators must utilize proprietary Mission Quest maritime simulation software and include a force-feedback helm console, twin engine controls, ignition keys with ‘dead-man’ cutoff, joystick for viewpoint control, spotlight switch, VHF radio mic, and VR controller charging port. The simulators must be stand-alone units with no network, WiFi, or CG-ONE connectivity. • Simulators must be custom-built to Coast Guard specifications • Simulators must utilize proprietary Mission Quest maritime simulation software • Simulators must include a force-feedback helm console, twin engine controls, ignition keys with ‘dead-man’ cutoff, joystick for viewpoint control, spotlight switch, VHF radio mic, and VR controller charging port • Simulators must be stand-alone units with no network, WiFi, or CG-ONE connectivity • Delivery of 20 units within 19 weeks, and 15 units within an additional 19 weeks • All simulators must be inspected and verified for proper operation to accomplish Boatswain Mate “A” School curriculum training performance objectives (TPOs)
