Combined Arms Command and Control Trainer Upgrade System (CACCTUS)

The Marine Corps System Command, Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS), intends to extend an existing contract by using other than full and open competition to procure support services for a period of two (2) months for the Combined Arms Command and Control Trainer Upgrade System (CACCTUS) requirement from Riptide Software, Inc., Suite #2000, 200 E. Palm Valley Drive, Oviedo, FL 32765 (CAGE Code: 1QPK2) The proposed contract action will extend the current contract (M67854-11-C-8007) from 1 September 2014 to 31 October 2014. The extension will provide the time necessary to back-up systems, inventory hardware/software and prepare for deployment or Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) transfer of Government Furnished Product (GFP). While completing this additional effort, Post Deployment Software Support (PDSS) efforts will be continued. Upon contract award, the Government provided GFP consists of: office equipment, developmental equipment and a notional suite of testing equipment for CACCTUS software. The new effort will require the winning contractor to provide their own office equipment and developmental assets with GFP being a notional suite of testing equipment. All other GFP must be transferred to other commands or DRMO'd. Disposition of such a large quantity of GFP was not an expectation at the beginning of the current contracting effort. The estimated cost of the extended services is $420,681.16.
