The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando, in support of the Navy Aviation Distributed Training Center (NADTC) Program, intends to award, on a sole source basis, a contract to Aero Simulation, Inc. to extend the lifecycle of the system and maintain the program s distributed mission training Operational Availability. The subject effort includes but is not limited to the procurement and custom modification of brand-name servers, computers, and computer peripherals. These components must be custom-modified and certified to integrate seamlessly into the proprietary NADTC-LANT system-of-systems architecture. Aero Simulation Inc., possesses the unique, proprietary technical data required to execute these modifications to ensure hardware interoperability within the existing classified enclave.

NAWCTSD has a requirement to procure Spares for the Naval Aviation Distributed Training Center (NADTC) Expansion located at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana. The components are for device upgrades to enhance Distributed Mission Training (DMT) capabilities. This expansion effort is for the NAS Oceana NADTC's high-fidelity system trainer. This effort involves upgrading computer hardware, and monitors with specific commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components to ensure compatibility and continuity with the existing training devices. This is a low-risk update that will not impact the training curriculum.
