The Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Bliss, Texas, is soliciting a firm-fixed-price contract for a Training as a Service (TaaS) solution centered on the Small Arms Weapons Simulation Training System (SAWSTS), with performance primarily at McGregor Range, New Mexico, and administrative support based at Fort Bliss, Texas. This requirement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 611699, and proposals must be submitted electronically by July 6, 2026. The contract will provide comprehensive synthetic weapon training using live-fire converted and synthetic weapons powered by a compressed air charging station, integrating cognitive neuroscience, sports vision drills, human performance analytics, eye tracking, and threat recognition simulations to enhance combat and advanced marksmanship proficiency. The system must support rapid scenario changes in under three minutes, enable on-site personnel to create and modify drills without external support, and deliver consistent skill performance across multiple weapons, ranges, and time constraints while mitigating insider threats through application of six-domain detection protocols. The contractor is responsible for all personnel, equipment, consumables, power conditioning, data cabling, compressors, and tools, as well as operations, maintenance, sustainment, instructor training, content management, and reporting, with a guaranteed system availability to meet scheduled training demands.

Pricing is structured as firm-fixed-price for two annual classes in the base year, additional annual option periods, and a separate line for the six-month extension. Technical proposals must demonstrate full compliance with the Performance Work Statement and include detailed methodology for system operation, scenario development, and quality control, while price proposals must be submitted separately and reflect all required CLINs. Offers are subject to a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation, where proposals must meet minimum technical requirements to be eligible for award, with price being the sole deciding factor among acceptable offers. Key personnel include a team lead and secondary team lead, and the contractor must submit a Quality Control Plan within 30 days of award. All work is unclassified; no security clearances are required. The contractor must comply with Federal Acquisition Regulation deviations including 2026-O0038 and 2025-O0003/0004, and adhere
