Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW)
Solicitation # STE-VSW-26-0006
The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Grounds Orlando Division, on behalf of the Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threat, is issuing a Call for Solutions for the Synthetic Training Environment Virtual Software program. This effort seeks a modernized virtual software ecosystem to achieve four primary operational outcomes: a doctrinal gate to live fire, a true combined arms environment, full mission command concurrency, and an open system architecture with published SDKs and APIs. The total combined value of all awarded lots is approximately 250 million dollars. The acquisition is structured around five capability lots, including Common Core Software and Simulation Application Software, with a phased selection process involving initial technical validation, down-selects, and demonstration pitches. The evaluation process prioritizes technical schedule, technical approach, and recent relevant experience from the last three years. A key requirement is the blind assessment of technical concepts to ensure objectivity, requiring offerors to genericize all identifying company information in their submissions. Technical solutions must demonstrate high commercial maturity, typically TRL 8 or 9, and adhere to strict security-by-design principles, including the delivery of Software Bill of Materials and alignment with RMF and FedRAMP authorizations. To prevent organizational conflicts of interest, any entity performing on Lot 5 is prohibited from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4. The anticipated award date for the lots is November 13, 2026, following a rigorous schedule of industry days, solution submissions, and technical demonstrations.

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has issued solicitation HQ0860-25-S-C001 for its Advanced Capability Concepts program, an ongoing opportunity open from May 9, 2025, to May 8, 2030. The agency seeks innovative concepts, scientific breakthroughs, and prototype demonstrations to enhance the robustness and effectiveness of all Missile Defense System elements. Key focus areas include kinetic and hypersonic defense, command and control battle management, integrated non-kinetic and electronic warfare, and disruptive technologies such as AI/ML, resilient networking, and advanced sensors. This is a two-step process where industry is invited to submit white papers on a rolling basis, which are then evaluated for potential negotiation and award. Submissions must follow strict formatting guidelines, including a 10-page limit for the combined executive summary and program description, and must include a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate and a program summary quad chart. Awards may be structured as either FAR-based procurement contracts or Other Transaction (OT) agreements, depending on the offeror's recommendation and eligibility. Evaluation is based on a trade-off process prioritizing technical achievement, research capabilities, and program management. Offerors must maintain active SAM.gov registration, disclose any organizational conflicts of interest, and comply with NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding controlled unclassified information. Performance is centered in Huntsville, Alabama, though the agency emphasizes rapid development and compressed timelines for the transition of breakthroughs into acquisition programs.
