The U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command intends to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract between $200,000 and $3,000,000 pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by 6.302 to Inter Coastal Electronics(ICE), Inc., 5750 E. McKellips Rd, Mesa, AZ, to support present and future US Army Rotary Wing Aircraft operational tests and events. The Army currently does not have a rotary wing aircraft RTCA instrumentation and weapon simulation system for operational testing. The Government wants to have the ICE Real Time Casualty Assessment (RTCA) Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS) available as a stand-alone system as well as integrate its TESS with the Operational Test Commands Operational Test-Tactical Engagement System (OT-TES). It is crucial that both the ICE TESS and OT-TES systems are successfully integrated in order to support planned and future rotary wing aircraft events and operational tests. Therefore, it is important to have a contract with ICE to integrate instrumentation and weapon simulations, support Certification and V&V efforts, and provide field support during operational events.
