AI Contract Overview
This Special Notice announces the release of a Request for Solutions (RFS) for the Mission Engineering Automation Testbed (MEAT) under an other transaction authority pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 4022. The MEAT project is part of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trust Systems (S2MARTS) consortium, managed by the National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL) and administered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division. The RFS seeks participation exclusively from members of the S2MARTS consortium, with membership details available through the consortium's website. The project aims to develop prototypes within a Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) environment to assess and enhance joint force capabilities. These prototypes are intended to support Mission Engineering (ME) and LVC integration, focusing on creating a secure, interoperable, and automated ecosystem. This ecosystem will accelerate the integration of advanced modeling, simulation, and analytics into LVC environments, enabling seamless tool interoperability, multi-level security, cross-domain data exchange, and adherence to open architecture principles for scalable adoption across enterprise systems. The solicitation was posted on May 4, 2026, and responses are due by July 1, 2026. The contracting office is located in Crane, Indiana, under the Department of Defense, with primary points of contact provided for further inquiry.
