The U.S. Navy plans to raise the ceiling price of the fifth iteration of the Fielded Training Systems Support multiple-award contract, or FTSS V MAC, by approximately $720 million to enable the government to meet immediate fleet requirements and demand for training maintenance and instruction until a follow-on contract is awarded.
In line with the plan, the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division in Orlando, Florida, is asking interested stakeholders to submit written technical capabilities to provide the requirements under the FTSS V contract, according to a sources sought notice published Friday.
According to the notice, the responses must demonstrate clear evidence that competition would benefit the government.
Responses are due May 30.
