INL/Costa Rica Upgrade - Virtual Training Sytem

The contract involves the development and deployment of an upgraded, scalable virtual training system tailored to meet the training needs of Costa Rica’s law enforcement personnel. The system is designed to enhance tactical, cognitive, and marksmanship skills necessary for confronting and resolving various conflict scenarios, ranging from large-scale urban, jungle, riverine, littoral, desert, aerial, and forest operations to smaller civilian crime incidents.

The virtual environment must deliver highly realistic training experiences through advanced technologies, including high-fidelity immersive virtual environments, realistic simulated weapons equipped with wireless data-link devices, team communication tools, and real-time translation of trainee actions into the simulation. The project is managed by the Office of Acquisitions at the U.S. State Department, with the solicitation posted in October 2024 and a response deadline set for the end of October 2024. The contract is classified as a combined type, with no specified set-aside restrictions, and falls under NAICS code 333310.
