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 project. The objective is to acquire a rapid, cost-effective, and technically sound 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 procurement is structured into five capability lots, including Common Core Software and Enterprise Integration Support, with an estimated overall programmatic ceiling of 250 million dollars. The acquisition process utilizes a milestone-based funding structure under Other Transaction Agreement authority, beginning with a nine-month base prototype period to validate core software stability and hardware integration, followed by pre-priced option periods covering a five-year lifecycle. Evaluation is based on schedule, technical merit, and solution viability, with a heavy emphasis on the speed of delivering accredited Table II virtual collective gunnery capabilities. For the current phase, solution submissions for Lots 1, 3, and 5 are due by October 13, 2026, while Lots 2 and 4 have been deferred. Strict organizational conflict of interest rules prohibit any entity performing on Lot 5 from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4.
