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 Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-A002 for the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW) project. The primary objective is to modernize virtual training capabilities to deliver a certifiable Table II virtual collective gate for mounted maneuver at the section through company level, with the goal of scaling to the battalion level. Key operational priorities include achieving a doctrinal gate to live fire, creating a true combined arms environment, ensuring full mission command concurrency, and implementing an open system architecture with published SDKs and APIs to prevent vendor lock-in. The total combined value for all awarded lots is approximately 250 million dollars. The procurement is structured into five capability lots: Lot 1 focuses on Common Core Software, Lot 2 on Simulation Application Software acting as an app marketplace, Lot 4 on Training Management and AAR capabilities, and Lot 5 as the Enterprise Integration Support. The Lot 5 integrator is specifically responsible for managing the Government-owned DevSecOps CI/CD pipeline and the System Integration Lab (SIL) in Orlando, Florida, and is strictly prohibited from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4 due to organizational conflict of interest rules. Evaluation is based on the speed to deliver Table II live-fire gating, velocity to initial operational capability for priority platforms like the M1A2 and AH-64, and adherence to a Modular Open Systems Approach. Solutions are due by September 29, 2026, at 1300 EDT, with anticipated awards for specific lots occurring in November 2026.
