USMC Live Fire Evaluation Tool (LFET) Commercial Solutions Opening

Description

Program Management Training Systems (PM TRASYS) intends to issue a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to solicit innovative commercial products and technologies in support of the Live-Fire Evaluation Tool (LFET) training solution. The goal of the CSO is to identify a commercial solution that enhances Marine lethality via improving weapons proficiency and skill development by providing real time live fire shot detection and scoring capability. Any contract resulting from the CSO will be a hybrid contract consisting of fixed-price Contract Line Numbers (CLINs) for systems and contractor logistics support and cost CLINs for Travel and Other Direct Costs to provide LFET to the Marine Corps. At this juncture, the Government estimates that the resultant contract will have a total potential period of performance of five years. The Government anticipates awarding a single contract resulting from the CSO. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: The Government is interested in receiving your insight on the draft CSO (attached) hereby.
