Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW)

Solicitation # STE-VSW-26-0006

The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Grounds Orlando Division, on behalf of the Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threat, is issuing a Call for Solutions for the Synthetic Training Environment Virtual Software program. This effort seeks a modernized virtual software ecosystem to achieve four primary operational outcomes: a doctrinal gate to live fire, a true combined arms environment, full mission command concurrency, and an open system architecture with published SDKs and APIs. The total combined value of all awarded lots is approximately 250 million dollars. The acquisition is structured around five capability lots, including Common Core Software and Simulation Application Software, with a phased selection process involving initial technical validation, down-selects, and demonstration pitches. The evaluation process prioritizes technical schedule, technical approach, and recent relevant experience from the last three years. A key requirement is the blind assessment of technical concepts to ensure objectivity, requiring offerors to genericize all identifying company information in their submissions. Technical solutions must demonstrate high commercial maturity, typically TRL 8 or 9, and adhere to strict security-by-design principles, including the delivery of Software Bill of Materials and alignment with RMF and FedRAMP authorizations. To prevent organizational conflicts of interest, any entity performing on Lot 5 is prohibited from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4. The anticipated award date for the lots is November 13, 2026, following a rigorous schedule of industry days, solution submissions, and technical demonstrations.

AI Contract Overview

The Department of the Army, through the Army Contracting Command’s Edgewood Contracting Division at Fort Detrick, Maryland, is seeking proposals under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement authorized by 10 USC 4022 to advance New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) that reduce dependence on traditional animal testing in the development of medical countermeasures against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. This effort is led by the Joint Project Management Office for CBRN Emerging Technologies under the Capability Program Executive Office for CBRN Defense, aiming to accelerate the deployment of safer, more effective countermeasures to U.S. military personnel. Proposals must present a platform-based, threat-agnostic NAM capable of replicating key aspects of CBRN exposure, biological response, efficacy, and toxicology, with demonstrated proof-of-concept supported by multiple experimental studies. The solution must include quantitative analysis to validate predictive value against existing animal or human data and support future FDA submissions such as IND packages, and may be complemented by computational or in vitro methods. The solicitation requires submission of a whitepaper up to five pages and up to two supporting documents totaling no more than ten additional pages, with a strict 15-page limit excluding the cover page, rough order of magnitude cost estimate, and work breakdown structure. Offerors must address specific topic areas, avoid generic organizational brochures, and adhere to a June 12, 2026, 1500 hours deadline for submission via designated email addresses only; late submissions will not be considered. The solicitation number is W911SR-26-9-NAMS, issued under NAICS code 541715, and is structured as a preproposal phase with the potential for follow-on full proposals and eventual award. All submissions must come from entities registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), including current UEI and CAGE codes, with ongoing registration maintained through final payment. Proposals must not use classified markings and must acknowledge that all materials furnished by the Government will remain its property, subject to strict access controls. Data generated under the agreement are designated as Department of Defense Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and fall under ITAR 120.10, with export strictly restricted by the Arms Export Control Act. The Government seeks unlimited rights to any data developed with its funding and will negotiate data rights accordingly. The proposal will be evaluated according to criteria established in

Full Description

Agency: Department of the Army

Office: Army Contracting Command, Edgewood Contracting Division Location: Fort Detrick, MD, USA

Program Office: Capability Program Executive Office for CBRN Defense, Joint Project Management Office for CBRN Emerging Technologies

RPP Number: W911SR-26-9-NAMS Date Issued: June 1, 2026

Proposals Due: 1500 hours, June 12, 2026

1. Through this Request for Project Proposal (RPP), the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense’s (CPE CBRND) Joint Product Lead for CBRN Emerging Technologies (JPL CBRN ET) seeks to advance New Approach Methodology (NAM) capabilities that reduce reliance on traditional animal models, de-risk Medical Countermeasure (MCM) development against CBRN threats and shorten MCM development timelines as described in the attached Statement of Objectives (SOO). In accordance with Section VIII.A.11 of announcement CBRND BAA 22-01, the Government is hereby requesting formal submission of preproposals to execute a formal agreement under 10 USC 4022, Other Transaction Authority (OTA) for the prototype project described below.

Upon receipt of a preproposal submitted in response to this RPP, the next steps are as follows:

The Government will evaluate the preproposal.
Discussions among the parties, whether verbally or in writing, will occur as appropriate.
The Government may request a full proposal from the offeror.
Additional discussions will occur as necessary.
Award(s) may be made after evaluation and selection of a successful submission. (Note: Awards are dependent upon the availability of funds.)

2. This RPP is issued to request project proposals in compliance with USC 4022 and is being issued for planning purposes only. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to award an agreement, nor will the Government pay for the information solicited.

3. The JPL CBRN ET is tasked with developing, manufacturing, and delivering safe and effective medical countermeasures capabilities against CBRN threats for deployed U.S. Forces. This effort intends to result in NAM capabilities that will reduce in vivo dependencies and enable faster fielding of MCMs to warfighters. Agreement under the authority of 10 USC 4022, with the expectation that quantities necessary for production, including fielding and testing new capabilities, may be non-competitively procured from awarded to the successful performer(s) of a prototype project in a follow-on production contract or other transaction agreement.

4. The Government will review/evaluate the submitted preproposals and if there is Government interest, the Agreements Officer may issue a request for full proposal (RFFP) in response to this RPP. The Government may award an agreement based on the submission or may require submission of additional details. The award of Prototype agreements shall be for the development of prototypes that are directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of personnel of the Department of Defense and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed by the Department of Defense, or to improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the Armed Forces. A prototype project can generally be described as a preliminary pilot, test, evaluation, demonstration, or agile development activity used to evaluate the technical or manufacturing feasibility or military utility of a particular technology, process, concept, end item, effect, or other discrete feature. Only a warranted Agreements Officer may obligate the U.S. Government to the expenditure of funds for awards under this Announcement.
