NAVSUP Fleet Logistics San Diego (FLCSD) intents to award a Sole Source contract to Conflict Kinetics Corporation, 1893 Preston White Drive, Reston, VA 20191 in accordance with FAR 13.501 and FAR 6.302-1. This requirement to establish a Weapons Synthetic Training System (WSTS) that enables sailors to develop proficiency in small arms weapons handling and employment while in port major fleet concentration areas of San Diego, CA.

The proposed contract action is Sole Source only. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals. No solicitation or RFQ will be forthcoming.

The purpose of this contract is to establish a Weapons Synthetic Training System (WSTS) that enables sailors to develop proficiency in small arms weapons handling and employment while in port major fleet concentration areas of San Diego, CA. This system aims to support sustainment training and certification for armed watch standers on various weapons including the M18 pistol, Rifle (5.56mm), light, and heavy machine guns (7.62mm & .50 Cal). The WSTS will significantly reduce the costs associated with conducting training and certification by minimizing the expenditure of live ammunition.
