The Government requests information regarding the technical and financial capabilities of Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) participants, to include Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) owned, Native American Tribally-owned or Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) owned 8(a)participants, to perform Army Futures Command (AFC), Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) Systems, Simulation, Systems Engineering and Integration Directorate (S3I) Prototype Integration Facility (PIF) support requirements as outlined below. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement will be 336413 Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, size standard 1,250 employees.
There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any costs expended by any interested parties in responding to this notice. Information provided may change and in no way binds the Government to solicit or award a contract. This is a sources sought notice only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP).
The purpose of this sources sought is to conduct market research to determine if capable, interested sources exist that can support this requirement; as well as to assist in determining if this requirement can be competed among participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Program.
Background: For information purposes only. Army Futures Command (AFC) DEVCOM Aviation and Missiles Center (AvMC) anticipates a requirement for a contract to provide rapid response hardware solutions on behalf of the PIF at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.
Current Contract: The PIF is currently supported by Defense Systems and Solutions (DSS), a joint venture between Yulista Aviation, Incorporated (YAI) and Science and Engineering Services (SES), Incorporated under contract W58RGZ-18-D-0001. The PIF-3 contract, with a ceiling of $4.7 Billion and a five-year period of performance plus two, two-year optional award terms for a total of nine years possible. Caveat: Offerors are cautioned that historical workloads are not a guarantee of future workloads.
($4.7 Billion is not the guaranteed minimum. The guaranteed minimum if a contract is issued, is only the first delivery order.)
The PIF requires a minimum of a working knowledge of the DoD and Army Critical Safety Item (CSI) programs and the Army Aviation Airworthiness Release (AWR) process is required. The prime’s structure must allow for flexible performance of the Government's requirements, while increasing support during periods of growth, and reducing support during periods of decreased workload.
This potential requirement is currently awarded to an Small Business Administration (SBA) certified 8(a) participant and will remain in the 8(a) Program, which includes Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) owned, Native American Tribally-owned, or Alaskan Native Corporation (ANC) owned certified 8(a)participants, subject to the availability of funds.
Desired Response: The Government invites interested entities possessing the requisite skills, resources, and capabilities necessary to perform the stated requirement to respond to this sources sought announcement via an electronic submission of an executive summary.
If you previously responded to the sources sought for: W58RGZ-24-R-0054, you are not required to respond again.

2. Provide a summary of your approach to meeting the stated requirement, including your company's facilities in Huntsville, AL, along with projected team members and their roles.
3. Provide relevant corporate experience references. You may cite company and related web addresses as additional sources of information.

Address experience in dealing with major defense contractor Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Address your experience handling surge requirements. Relevant corporate experience information should identify the applicable contract number; the total contract dollar amount; contract period of performance; a brief description of the requirement performed; and customer point of contact with corresponding telephone number and e-mail address.
4. Does your organization have any potential Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) with the PIF? (See FAR Subpart 9.5 – Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest.) Offerors shall disclose to the Contracting Officer all facts relevant to the existence of an actual or potential OCI.

How much aircraft hangar space does your organization occupy located within the Huntsville-Decatur-Albertville Combined Statistical Area? How much of your facility space is high bay? The requirement for possessing and maintaining these facilities shall not be construed to mean that the Government will pay any direct costs in connection therewith and further, the contractor shall not be entitled to any direct payment in connection with any personnel set in readiness at or brought to such facility in preparation or in exception of work to be performed under the Contract. Payment for labor hours and materials will be made only for hours and materials actually expended in performance under the contract.
8. What experience does your company have with managing Government property? Specify the warehouse square feet and dollar amounts per year. The Government estimates the aggregate value of the Government property at about $3B on this contract.

Amendment 01 provides the RFI Question and Answer document dated 21 October 2024.
Description
The United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE) is seeking information from commercial aviation industry partners and aviation training providers on solutions and methodologies that inform the Army’s analysis and development of options to transform Army Initial Entry Rotary-Wing (IERW) Flight Training at Fort Novosel, Alabama, including the potential replacement of the current IERW helicopter (Lakota LUH-72) to reduce costs, gain efficiencies, and maintain or increase aviation training quality. Responses to this RFI will be used to inform analysis, development, and other acquisition activities related to the potential of a Government Owned (Aircraft), Contractor Operated (GOCO) or a Contractor Owned, Contractor Operated (COCO) solution as described in the attached Statement of Objectives (SOO). USAACE is further seeking to broaden industry participation and maximize future competition by informing the potential for contractor-provided academic instruction, flight instruction, Training Aids and Devices, simulation (if required), aircraft (COCO), aircraft parts (COCO), and aircraft maintenance. This Request for Information (RFI) is for informational purposes only; it is not a request for proposals or a solicitation for a contract or grant award and it does not obligate the Government in any way. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with responding to this request.
I. BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Army Initial Entry Rotary Wing Flight Training has been located at Fort Novosel for the past 50+ years and currently operates with inefficiencies from years of change and multiple disparate contracts. The Army is seeking to simultaneously improve the quality of training provided to our new aviators, cut costs and improve efficiency. Current hours of flight operations are from 0600-2400 hours daily (AM flight period from 0600-1200, PM flight period from 1200-1800 and Night 1 from 1800-2400 daily). Students generally train during two concurrent sessions (AM/PM or PM/N1) with flight occurring during one and academics during the other. Saturday flight periods are conducted when students are behind in training due to weather or maintenance and the weekend following a federal holiday to meet current capacity numbers.
II. PURPOSE:
In response to Headquarters Department of the Army planning directives, collect information from Industry that informs the Army’s analysis and development of a strategic approach to enhance the training and proficiency of Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) Common Core Aviators while reducing overall costs.
III. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Vendors interested in attending the Industry Day / Site Visit at Fort Novosel, Alabama scheduled for 29 October 2024, must fill out the attached Flight School Next Industry Day RSVP Form and email to:

If you are requesting an exception, for the no more than three participants per company, please contact the USAACE G3 at 334-255-3200.
RFI Responses are due no later than 5:00pm on Friday, December 6, 2024. Late submissions will not be accepted or reviewed.
VI. DISCLAIMER AND USE OF INFORMATION:
This RFI does not guarantee that the Government will issue a solicitation or award a contract for supplies or services. No specific solicitation is planned to follow this RFI; however, the responses could impact the Government’s decision to release multiple solicitations in the future. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable government regulations. Any material received will be public domain unless clearly marked (on each page) as proprietary. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for proprietary information not properly identified.
Please email your questions or comments regarding the RFI to Mr. Michael Metje (Team Lead / Contracting Officer) at michael.a.metje.civ@army.mil. Respondents are advised that questions, comments and Government responses may be posted publicly on SAM.gov, although the identity of the requesting organization will be withheld.

NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement to extend the period of performance (PoP) for the Space Launch System (SLS) Spacecraft / Payload Integration and Evolution (SPIE) Launch Vehicle Stage Adapter (LVSA) delivery order (DO), with Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. (TBE). The services to be provided include, but are not limited to: development or assessment, sustaining engineering (maintenance), field engineering changes, management, and disposal, as well as any ancillary activities associated with prior production efforts for previously procured LVSA flight hardware, including but not limited to, the operation and maintenance, verification and validation, certification, transportation to designated location, and all ground support equipment. This action will also include pre- and post-flight analysis support for the remaining two unflown LVSA units.
For this immediate action, MSFC intends to extend the PoP of existing TBE DO# NNM14AA89D, for a period of approximately two years, from September 23, 2024, to September 30, 2026, to complete production of the third LVSA unit currently on contract, as well as to ultimately conclude LVSA activities for the SLS SPIE Element. As described below, additional options beyond September 30, 2026, if exercised, could extend the PoP of this DO through December 31, 2029.
SLS NEED FOR LVSA
Consistent with the NASA Authorization Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-267) and subsequent Presidential direction, NASA established the SLS Program and initiated the development of the SLS vehicle. The SLS Program has developed a launch system architecture to meet an evolving capability strategy consistent with the reference missions and at a pace prescribed by the available budget. The SLS block upgrade strategy incrementally and practically increases the performance of the launch vehicle one block at a time, while also accommodating the development and maturation of other Exploration Systems Development (ESD) systems. The performance thresholds of launching 70 metric tons (mT), 105mT, and 130mT will be achieved respectively through the development of the Block 1 configuration followed by the upgrade of Block 1 to Block 1B to Block 2. The LVSA is part of the evolvable configuration's initial Block 1 capability (i.e., currently limited for use through the Artemis III mission).
The SPIE Element role for SLS is management, planning, and integration of the spacecraft and payloads in support of NASA missions, which includes procurement and integration of the LVSA. The LVSA provides the physical interface between the Core Stage and the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) of SLS, while establishing a pass through for cable running between the launch vehicle and the Orion crew spacecraft, which will continue to be launched on SLS.
CONTRACT / DELIVERY ORDER BACKGROUND THROUGH IMMEDIATE ACTION
LVSA is a result of the Engineering Solutions and Prototyping (ESP) contracting solution, the purpose of which was to obtain end-item deliverables from near-site MSFC sources. LVSA itself was not the sole engineering purpose behind ESP. Instead, multiple ESP contractors were to provide various engineering solutions and products for design, development, test, evaluation, operations, and training in support of MSFC's flight projects, human and robotic exploration, science and technology development, future programs/projects, and other MSFC responsibilities that had similar needs. The ESP contracts were to provide MSFC with an avenue to obtain deliverables at various stages in their life cycles as defined in NASA Space Flight Program and Project Management Requirements (NPR 7120.5) and NASA Research and Technology Program and Project Management Requirements (NPR 7120.8).
By first competitively establishing the ESP contracts, NASA's goal was to award three to five indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts in response to the ESP solicitation, which was issued in 2012. The selected contractors were to provide all necessary management, personnel, facilities, equipment, materials and supplies (not otherwise provided by the Government) to deliver a variety of products broadly defined in each ESP contract’s Performance Work Statement (PWS). Work was to be more specifically described in each DO, which would be competed among the selected ESP contractors, with each DO defining specific end-item deliverables. The IDIQ contracts were to each have a five-year ordering period, and were to be performance-based, with either a cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) or CPFF-less-deductions IDIQ arrangement.
Of the six proposals received, the ESP solicitation resulted in a total of three different ESP IDIQ contract awards in 2013, specifically NNM13AA34C with Radiance Technologies, Inc.; NNM13AA35C with TBE; and NNM13AA36C with Wyle Laboratories, Inc. (later named KBR Wyle Services, LLC). LVSA was one of multiple engineering efforts competed among the three ESP contractors, and was awarded to TBE on January 31, 2014, as DO# NNM14AA89D. The DO included production, sustaining engineering, operation and maintenance, verification and validation, certification, transportation to designated location, all ground support equipment for LVSA units supporting SLS Flights 1 through 3 (currently termed Artemis missions I through III), as well as pre- and post-flight analysis.
During the ensuing years under DO# NNM14AA89D, TBE has previously and successfully completed the LVSA design, development, test, and evaluation (DDT&E) process, to include the fabrication of a Structural Test Article (STA) to support the SPIE Integrated Structural Test. Following this, TBE completed production and supported delivery of the first LVSA flight unit to Kennedy Space Center (KSC), after which the first flight unit was launched on November 16, 2022, as part of the Artemis I mission, to include TBE completing its associated post-flight analysis in 2023. Delivery of the second LVSA flight unit was conditionally accepted by NASA on February 28, 2023. TBE is estimated to deliver the third and final LVSA flight unit procured under the existing DO in the coming months.
The initial LVSA DO PoP was February 1, 2014, through March 14, 2018. The PoP was subsequently authorized to be extended by the Deputy Assistant Administrator for Procurement on November 5, 2018, via a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC), through an estimated date of December 31, 2023. Using the estimated date within the prior JOFOC authority, the LVSA DO's PoP was further extended through the current PoP end date of September 22, 2024.
This immediate action will incorporate an increase in both the estimated value and the estimated PoP necessary to conclude efforts under this DO. While the technical scope of this DO is not being changed in relation to the delivery, launch, or post-flight scope aspects for three previously procured LVSA flight units from TBE, additional time is necessary to support remaining LVSA sustaining engineering activities that are now to be phased over a longer period of time, as necessary to align with ongoing changes to SLS Program-Controlled Milestones (i.e., launch manifest schedule). Accordingly, this action intends to extend NNM14AA89D's PoP from September 23, 2024, through September 30, 2026 to align with the current SLS launch manifest.
Furthermore, an initial nine-month option period (i.e., Option 1) will be included in the event an extension is necessary to conclude Artemis III launch and post-flight analysis in support of the NASA public announcement on January 9, 2024, in relation to the current SLS launch manifest. Option 1, if exercised, would further extend the DO from October 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. If additional revisions to the SLS launch manifest are necessary, the anticipated immediate action to extend DO# NNM14AA89D's PoP will also include an additional five option periods of six months each. If all those options were to be exercised, the subject DO's PoP could be extended through December 31, 2029.
SOLE SOURCE AUTHORITY
NASA/MSFC intends to issue a sole source DO extension to TBE to satisfy this requirement. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
NASA/MSFC intends to continue procuring remaining LVSA production and subsequent sustaining engineering support on a sole source basis from TBE. This decision is made pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), which is the authority supporting the PoP extension with the original source (TBE) for the continued provision of highly specialized services (i.e., the continued production and sustainment of LVSA). Award to any other source (other than TBE) would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements.
The use of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), to authorize the continued provision of highly specialized services for LVSA from TBE is appropriate. If performance with TBE is not able to continue under the subject DO, the Government will incur a substantial duplication of costs as well as experience unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. TBE has proprietary data and processes, specialized labor skills, and exclusive knowledge unique to LVSA production.
Introducing another LVSA contractor at this time would result in recreating established key vendor arrangements and working relationships with other SPIE Prime Contractors. Combined with the continued TBE engineering and management support required for the Artemis II and III missions, this would result in unacceptable technical delays and a substantial duplication of costs, which would not be recovered through competition of a new contract.
The value of utilizing a company (TBE) with an existing contract with NASA, as well as using a firm that has already built all of the LVSA flight units, cannot be overstated. The synergy of past production, as well as the irreplaceable knowledge of having supporting launch and post-flight activities for Artemis I, allow for the most efficient use of time necessary for planning and execution of both the sustaining and engineering efforts associated with LVSA flight units two and three, as well as meeting remaining Artemis II and III launch milestones.
The incumbent contractor team (TBE) uniquely understands the required sustaining engineering of this highly specialized and complex LVSA flight hardware, stemming from its experience gained during the production process and prior flight operations/maintenance associated with LVSA flight articles. This knowledge uniquely positions TBE to continue to substantially improve cost, technical, and schedule performance for remaining LVSA activities, which are necessary for successfully and affordably flying the Artemis II and III missions. TBE's LVSA knowledge and technical skills are not easily transferable. Thus, introduction of a new contractor at this time would require additional time and expense in order to mature an alternative source to the level of technical capability required for sustained LVSA flight hardware engineering. Furthermore, award to another source would cause unacceptable delays in meeting the Agency's requirements. The SLS Program manifest and schedule requirements associated with LVSA utilization would be negatively impacted in such a way that NASA would be unable to meet the Artemis II or III preparatory schedule events and launch dates.
The resulting LVSA flight hardware under DO# NNM14AA89D that has been designed, developed, tested, and evaluated remains exclusive to a unique engineering solution proposed by TBE, as necessary to satisfy NASA's SLS LVSA requirements, with only NASA having ever procured LVSA hardware and its corresponding sustaining engineering needed to maintain this DDT&E hardware as produced and maintained by TBE.
