AI Contract Overview
Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT) is seeking industry support to develop an AI-assisted Tabletop Exercise (TTX) framework for cyberspace operations, including a Minimum-Viable Product (MVP), under solicitation RFP-ACT-SACT-26-66. The goal is to create a tool that enhances the planning, execution, and reporting of cyber TTXs and wargames by leveraging Local Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and orchestrated Agentic-AI to reduce reliance on human facilitation for scenario generation, role-playing, and assessment. The contract requires the delivery of a comprehensive framework during a base period from award through 31 December 2026, comprising a working methodology, process descriptions, templates, and a stand-alone MVP capable of supporting strategic, operational, and tactical levels of cyber operations. An optional one-period extension from January through June 2027 will enable the development and delivery of a final, fully functional platform incorporating all specified capabilities. The estimated total contract value is $350,000, awarded on a fixed-price basis, with performance to occur at Norfolk, Virginia. Only vendors from NATO member nations are eligible to participate, with U.S. prime contractors subject to additional requirements: they must maintain a professionally active facility within the United States, be approved for NATO Competitive Procurement (NCP) on a facility-by-facility basis, and obtain a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) issued by the U.S. Government through the Department of Commerce. U.S. firms new to NCP must submit a one-time application with a company resume detailing prime contractor experience and financial documentation attested by an independent CPA, using the link provided by the Bureau of Industry and Security. All proposals must be submitted in English and include the solicitation number in correspondence. The deadline for U.S. firms to request a DOE or submit an NCP application is 18 June 2026, with the RFP expected to be issued on 25 June 2026 and bids due by 3 August 2026. The anticipated award date is 31 August 2026. All participants, including subcontractors and partners, must meet eligibility criteria, and proposals must reference RFP-ACT-SACT-26-66 in all communications.
