Modeling & Simulation for Response Efficacy Prediction

The contract seeks to develop advanced simulation environments designed to model how counter-narratives influence target audiences, with a focus on predicting virality patterns and behavioral outcomes. These simulations must accurately replicate real-world dynamics of information spread, audience reception, and psychological responses to determine the efficacy of strategic messaging interventions. The work requires expertise in computational modeling, behavioral science, and data-driven simulation techniques to produce reliable predictions that inform national security communications strategies. This is a subcontract opportunity under the NAICS code 541620, related to management, scientific, and technical consulting services, and is issued by the Department of Defense through the Director Sco office. Performance is expected to occur in Chantilly, with proposals due by August 22, 2026. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside status or point of contact, and interested parties must navigate the SAM.gov portal for full details and submission guidelines. The project is centered on enhancing defensive information operations through predictive analysis, requiring rigorous validation of models against empirical data to ensure operational relevance.
