Area of Interest: OSW Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) Modeling and Simulation
Solicitation # HQ003427AOI5
The Department of War Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation CAPE is seeking innovative commercial solutions to replace its legacy modeling and simulation infrastructure with a next-generation computational backbone. The objective is to modernize decision support by implementing a three-layer architecture consisting of a high-performance simulation execution layer, a machine-learned surrogate emulation layer for government-developed models, and an intuitive self-service quantitative analysis layer. This system must dramatically increase throughput, with the capability to execute between 1,200 simulations in 10 hours for light cases and up to 150,000 simulations within two weeks for heavy joint campaign cases. The required solution must operate at Impact Level 6 security accreditation to be accessible from secure spaces at the Pentagon and Mark Center, supporting network throughput between 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps. Technical requirements include compatibility with Python, R, Java, PyTorch, GAMS, and containerized processes. While the commercial provider will manage turnkey platform and infrastructure IT operations, including cybersecurity hardening and patching, the government will retain full operational tenant administration and control over data and user access. This procurement is being conducted as a Commercial Solutions Opening with a Rough Order of Magnitude estimate between 3 million and 22 million dollars. Phase I evaluations focus on the relevance of the solution brief, specifically regarding technical ability, scalability, and security posture. Initial operational capability is anticipated in FY27, with full operational capability expected in FY28. Solution briefs are due by November 16, 2026.

JANNAF Meeting Registration
Solicitation # N00174-27-SIMACQ-IHD-E-Dept-0024
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division intends to award a non-competitive, firm fixed price purchase order to JHU/Chemical Propulsion Info Analys for JANNAF Meeting Registration. This sole-source procurement is being conducted under FAR 12.102(a) because the vendor is the original equipment manufacturer and does not authorize third-party resellers, making them the only viable source to meet the government's requirements. The action is categorized under NAICS code 541715 and Product Service Code U005. This notice serves as an intent to sole source rather than a request for quotes. While the government intends to proceed without competition, interested parties may submit evidence of their capabilities to Tammy Kershner by November 13, 2026, at 2pm EST to demonstrate why competition would be advantageous. Any responding vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management and provide clear documentation of their bona fide capability via email.
