Mission Performance Simulation & Testing

The contract titled Mission Performance Simulation & Testing requires the development and execution of advanced simulation environments to validate software performance under realistic operational conditions, including live-fly and hardware-in-the-loop testing scenarios. These simulations must accurately replicate mission-critical environments to ensure software systems meet performance, reliability, and safety standards prior to deployment. The work is focused on creating high-fidelity test beds that integrate real hardware with simulated inputs to evaluate system behavior under dynamic and unpredictable conditions. This is a subcontract under the Department of Defense, with a NAICS code of 541330 indicating it falls under engineering services. The place of performance is centered in Dayton, Ohio, suggesting potential collaboration with existing defense research and development facilities in the area. Responses are due by May 12, 2026, and the solicitation was posted on April 29, 2026. While no set-aside classification or point of contact details are provided, the contract's focus on simulation and testing aligns with DoD priorities in advancing avionics, autonomous systems, and mission-critical software validation through rigorous, real-world validated environments.
