U -- ICCA Software Training

The Naval Air Warefare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) intends to contract, under the authority of FAR Part 13, on a SOLE SOURCE basis with Rand Technologies of Michigan (Rand), One Lahser Center, Suite 225, Southfield, MI 48034, for an introductory training course on the use of the Integrated Computer Controlled Analysis (ICCA) application. The applicable NAICS Code is 611420, “Computer Training”. ICCA is a fluid systems modeling and analysis program for simulating and analyzing both complete and partial fluid systems. Models created using the ICCA program permit the calculation of flows, pressures, and other state variables throughout the system as a function of time. Aircraft fluid systems, such as fuel, hydraulic and environmental control, can be modeled and events simulated to better understand fleet issues. The contractor shall provide two (2) separate, two-day (2) training courses, for a total of four (4) days of on-site training on the use of the ICCA modeling and analysis program, along with two (2) copies of all training material. The ICCA tool is a proprietary tool of the The Boeing Company, and Boeing has designated Rand as the preferred source of training for the ICCA tool; therefore, Rand is the only firm that can meet the Navy’s requirement. No solicitation or request for proposal exists, however, responsible sources may submit a statement of capability and cost which, if timely received, will be considered.
