Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW)

Solicitation # STE-VSW-26-0006

The Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Grounds (ACC-APG) Orlando Division, on behalf of the Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test & Threat, is issuing a Call for Solutions (CFS) under the Army Open Solicitation (AOS) for the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW). This initiative aims to modernize immersive virtual training by addressing gaps in the Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer software baseline. The government is utilizing a Government-as-Integrator model divided into five capability lots, focusing on a platform and application architecture. The primary objectives are to deliver 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 to facilitate rapid integration of future capabilities. The total combined value of all awarded lots is approximately 250 million dollars. The acquisition process follows a phased selection approach based on technical merit, schedule achievability, and relevant experience. Evaluation factors prioritize the technical schedule, specifically the speed to Initial Operating Capability, followed by the technical approach and recent performance within the last three years. The project is eligible for Other Transaction Agreements (OTA) per 10 U.S.C. 4022. A strict organizational conflict of interest firewall is enforced for Lot 5, prohibiting those vendors from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4.

The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review established innovation as a central line of effort in the national defense strategy of the United States. The decisive military advantage of the United States over its adversaries and peer competitors is steadily eroding. Consequently, under 10 U.S.C. 3458, Contracting Officers may acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, or services using a competitive procedure called a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO). Under a CSO, the Department of Defense may competitively select proposals received in response to a general solicitation, similar to a broad agency announcement, based on a review of proposals by scientific, technological, or other subject-matter expert peers. Use of a CSO in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Subpart 212.70 is considered to be a competitive procedure for the purposes of 10 U.S.C. 221 and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102. Finally, Contracting Officers shall treat items, technologies, and services acquired using a CSO as commercial products and commercial services. Contracts or agreements under this authority shall be fixed-price, including fixed-price incentive fee contracts.

Self-Propelled Howitzer Systems (SPHS), located in Detroit Arsenal, Michigan, is the project management office responsible for developing, producing, and sustaining the field artillery SPHS to ensure the King of Battle remains dominant on the battlefield.
