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 (CFS) under the Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-A002. The objective is to modernize the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW) to address capability gaps in the current Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer software baseline. The government seeks a cost-effective, technically sound solution that delivers 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 into five distinct capability lots based on a platform and application model. A strict organizational conflict of interest rule is enforced for Lot 5, prohibiting any entity performing on Lot 5 from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4. Evaluation is based on three weighted factors, with speed to Initial Operating Capability (IOC) and a certifiable Table II training capability being the highest-weighted factor, followed by technical approach and relevant experience. Technical solutions are evaluated based on their architectural soundness, modularity, and integration readiness, with a non-negotiable requirement for the native ingest and render of One World Terrain data for initial system acceptance. The procurement process utilizes Other Transaction Authority under 10 U.S.C. 4022, featuring a milestone-based funding structure where progression to subsequent sprints requires a signed Certificate of Completion. Key dates include a final CFS posting on September 14, 2026, with solutions due by September 28, 2026. The process involves a down-select notification on October 2, followed by demonstration pitches and final awards anticipated by November 13, 2026. Submissions are divided into an administrative volume and an anonymous technical concept volume, with specific requirements for TRL 8/9 verification and the use of physical storage media for large government furnished information transfers.
