AI Contract Overview

The government is pursuing an acquisition to establish a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under the renamed initiative Capabilities of Highly Advanced Operational Simulations (CHAOS), succeeding the Implementation of Advanced Government Simulation Capabilities (IAGSC) effort. This effort aims to procure non-personal services to support the Air Force Sustainment Center’s Software Development Directorate in developing, integrating, and sustaining advanced modeling and simulation systems for Department of Defense platforms, including 4th and 5th generation aircraft and weapons systems. Work will span software development, cybersecurity implementation, lifecycle testing, threat representation using Intel Community data, systems engineering support, physical security of facilities, personnel security file management, and administrative services. The performance will occur primarily at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, with additional support required at multiple DoD installations including Hill AFB, Edwards AFB, Eglin AFB, and Patuxent River. All work involving classified information must be conducted in government-provided facilities, and all personnel must hold at least a SECRET clearance, with Top Secret/SCI clearances preferred. The government anticipates task orders to be award under fixed-price mechanisms, and the evaluation will prioritize technical excellence—especially personnel retention and team stability—over cost, using a best-value trade-off approach rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Contractors are expected to demonstrate proven capability in supporting DoD simulation environments, including experience with hybrid cloud architectures, hardware-in-the-loop systems, and DevSecOps methodologies, while maintaining strict compliance with NISPOM, ICD 503, OSHA, and MIL-STD-1686C standards. The contract will include detailed contract data requirements such as monthly status reports, cybersecurity vulnerability reports submitted weekly, software test reports within 30 days of completion, and annual training materials. The prime contractor must ensure seamless integration of subcontractors through DD Form 254s and enforce security protocols, including mandatory CAC issuance, OPSEC training, and adherence to nondisclosure agreements. All submissions must be delivered via email to the designated Contracting Officer and Contract Specialists, with no physical submissions accepted. While expressions of interest were solicited through an RFI process with a deadline of March 28, 2025, and an industry day held in April 2025, the formal solicitation is projected for late FY26 or early FY27. Respondents are strongly cautioned that even though courtesy notifications may be sent, official postings
