Agile Professional Services _CPE ST3

The Department of the Army, through Army Contracting Command - Orlando, is soliciting Agile Professional Services (APS) under a total small business set-aside using the NAICS code 541990, with a labor hours contract structure, to support the Capability Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, Test and Threat (CPE ST3). The acquisition aims to transition CPE ST3 from a traditional staffing model to a dynamic, outcome-driven Agile framework that delivers measurable mission readiness improvements through flexible, scalable teams of cleared professionals. Contractors will support a broad spectrum of mission-critical functions including acquisition planning, program management, modeling and simulation, cybersecurity, international cooperation, and emerging technology integration, with a focus on digital engineering, DevSecOps practices, and seamless integration with government systems like Jira and Cameo. Performance will occur at multiple U.S. and overseas locations, predominantly Orlando, Florida, and Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, with additional sites across major military installations and overseas locations including Germany and South Korea, with 24/7 operations required at key sites. The contract has a total potential performance period of up to 60 months, structured as a six-month Agile development and transition phase, followed by four consecutive 12-month enterprise performance periods, a six-month transition and wrap-up phase, and a possible six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8. Offerors must comply with stringent organizational conflict of interest (OCI) requirements, including a baseline competitive exclusion that prohibits the prime contractor, its affiliates, subcontractors, and joint venture partners from bidding on or supporting any future CPE ST3 product, hardware, or system development work for the duration of this contract plus one additional year. A comprehensive OCI mitigation plan must be submitted and pass a strict pass/fail evaluation based on demonstrable firewalls addressing unequal access to information, biased ground rules, and impaired objectivity. Cybersecurity compliance is mandatory under CMMC, RMF, DFARS 252.204-7012, and NIST SP 800-171 standards. Personnel must hold security clearances ranging from HSPD-12 to Top Secret/SCI, with a required Top Secret facility clearance. Proposals must include fully burdened hourly labor rates and demonstrate innovation, past performance, key personnel qualifications, and a robust transition plan. Evaluation will prioritize technical merit over price, with a phased selection process including concept paper review, scenario-based tasks, and oral presentations. All submissions
