The FLARNG originally purchased three DDTs under contract W912HZ09D0003-2W01, where PKMM, Inc. was the subcontractor who fabricated the DTTs. The DTTs were procured in order to add to existing Information Technology/Software (IT) and Communication Training equipment to reflect what is currently being used to train the FAAD (Forward Area Air Defense) Warfighter. The purchase of three additional DTTs to expand the training lab capabilities in training Soldiers in Air Defense was completed through PO W911YN19P0045.

The current requirement is a life cycle replacement of the original systems purchased in 2009. PKMM is the only vendor known to engineer, fabricate, assembly, test and put into employment, DTTs which support training of Air Defense Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures. Purchasing these additional DTTs from the original manufacturer of existing equipment ensures the FLARNG has interoperability between the existing equipment and the new equipment.

Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional training on new equipment and maintains continuity across all DTTs within the organization. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 334111, with a Small Business Size Standard of 1,250 employees, and PSC 6920.
