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 under Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-1002. The objective is to identify a rapid, cost-effective, and technically sound solution 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 scope is divided into five capability lots, including a foundational software platform, specialized applications, hardware-in-the-loop integration and test, and enterprise integration support. The acquisition process follows a phased selection approach based on technical merit, schedule achievability, and relevant experience within the last three years. Key technical requirements include native ingestion of One World Terrain data, alignment with TC 3-20.0 Integrated Weapons Training Strategy, and a secure by design foundation leveraging FedRAMP authorizations to accelerate the RMF Open Network Authority to Operate timeline. A strict organizational conflict of interest firewall is established for the Lot 5 integration support vendor, prohibiting them from proposing on other lots. The selection process includes a blind technical submission to ensure impartial assessment, followed by demonstrations and a final award anticipated by November 6, 2026.

The Army Open Solicitation (AOS), solicitation number W9128Z-25-S-A002, is an indefinite open solicitation issued by the U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Digital Capability Contracting Center of Excellence. Its primary objective is to support all Army mission areas and maximize Army lethality by rapidly acquiring innovative commercial technologies, research and development solutions, and software acquisition pathway procurements. The AOS leverages a broad range of authorities, including FAR 6.102(d)(2), FAR 35.016 Broad Agency Announcements, and various 10 U.S.C. sections for prototypes and experimental procurements, as well as the Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) process. Interested parties can engage through two primary methods: responding to Active Capability Gaps (ACG) or submitting proposals in response to specific Calls for Solutions. The award process generally follows a multi-phase approach consisting of a Solution Brief, a Live Pitch, and a final Solution Proposal. Evaluation is based on a hierarchy of Technical Merit, Viability, Feasibility and Desirability, and Schedule and Price. All submissions must be unclassified, and the government does not reimburse companies for costs incurred during the initial three phases of the solicitation process. Key administrative requirements include mandatory registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the use of the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) for invoicing. Security requirements mandate that all government data reside within the exclusive legal jurisdiction of the United States. Solution Briefs are strictly limited to five written pages in 12-point font or fifteen briefing slides and must be submitted as a single PDF document. While the overall AOS remains open in perpetuity until canceled, individual Calls for Solutions have specific, limited response windows.
