Disruptioneering Program Announcement

Solicitation # DARPA-PA-25-07

The DARPA Defense Sciences Office (DSO) Disruptioneering Program, under solicitation DARPA-PA-25-07, seeks to identify and leverage nascent scientific advances for national security through high-risk, high-payoff research. The program utilizes Disruption Opportunities (DOs) to rapidly investigate new concepts, enabling the initiation of unclassified efforts in less than 120 calendar days from inception. Awards are issued as Other Transaction (OT) agreements for prototype projects under 10 U.S.C. § 4022, focusing on proofs of concept, pilots, and the demonstration of technical or operational utility. Proposals are not submitted to the general program announcement but must be responded to via individual DOs. Selection is based on a weighted evaluation of overall scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to the DARPA mission, and price reasonableness, which serves as a mandatory pass/fail gate. Proposals are evaluated on their own individual merit rather than against each other. Awardees must comply with strict cybersecurity standards, including NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and reporting cyber incidents. Administrative requirements include registration in the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for electronic invoicing and the provision of SAM Unique Entity Identifiers.

AI Contract Overview

The Soldier Virtual Training (SVT) program, managed by the Capabilities Program Executive for Simulations, Training, Test, and Treat (CPE-ST3), is seeking commercial and developmental solutions to replace the aging Engagement Skills Trainer 2 (EST2) and fulfill an urgent interim need for the Weapons Skills Development (WSD) and Joint Fires Trainer (JFT) programs. This solicitation, issued under the Army Open System Cloud Federal Services (AOS CFS) framework, combines both COTS and prototype development opportunities into a single call to streamline acquisition and leverage commercial innovation. Companies may respond to up to four distinct pathways: submission of currently available COTS products for WSD or JFT, or proposals for prototype development under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) for either WSD or JFT. The COTS marketplaces for WSD and JFT are now closed, with all submissions evaluated and no further proposals accepted, while the OTA pathways for both programs remain open with a final deadline of June 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. All proposals must follow the updated Call-for-Solutions documents and utilize the required templates, including the Solution Paper, Statement of Work, and Cost & Pricing Breakdown Excel template. Proposals must be submitted in English, adhere to strict formatting guidelines, and exclude hyperlinks and classified information. Each response must include a comprehensive Solution Paper limited to ten pages plus allowable exclusions, a completed Statement of Work, warranties and representations, telecommunication compliance documentation, and a detailed, editable Excel pricing model that breaks costs into measurable milestones linked to deliverables, with all pricing reflecting anticipated government value and including licensing, setup, training, sustainment, and upgrade costs. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity ID (UEI), registered in Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) for invoicing, and represent their small business status accurately. Proposals that fail to meet any pass/fail gate—including completeness, SAM/UEI registration, responsiveness, or responsibility determination—will be disqualified. Technical merit, experience, and total project risk are the primary evaluation factors, considered with equal weight without a defined scoring hierarchy. The Government retains the right to make multiple, single, or no awards, contingent on funding availability and congressional appropriations. Contractual authority is restricted to designated Contracting or Agreements Officers, and all awards are subject to the availability of funds. Companies must disclose any organizational conflicts of interest

Background:

The Capabilities Program Executive, for Simulations, Training, Test, and Treat (CPE- ST3), Soldier Virtual Training (SVT) Weapons Skills Development (WSD) has a requirement to replace the ageing Engagement Skills Trainer 2 (EST2) with a modern replacement which removes or overcomes the many limitations of the EST2 system of record. A previous attempt to replace the system was determined unsuccessful, resulting in a reset of the requirement. Additionally, the US Congress has mandated providing an interim solution to replace the EST2 with a solution that can be used while the WSD program is reset. The requirements for the interim solution and reset solution are so similar that it creates efficiencies by putting both requirements together into a single solicitation that can be used to award contracts or OTAs that meet the government’s requirement for an interim solution as well as allowing for the development of a system that will replace the EST2. The product required is a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) item currently for sale in the commercial marketplace which will allow Soldiers to train on their assigned weapons system in a virtual space. These items will not require any changes from the commercially sold weapons skills Development currently on the market. The Development that is not a final product but which the evaluators see as value in developing may be offered an OTA to develop the Development into a replacement to the EST2.

Likewise, the Joint Fires Trainer (JFT) has requirement to fulfil an interim need with COTs items while also opening the possibility for entry into a prototype OTA for those Items evaluated as acceptable but not a true COTS item at entry. The JFT piece will follow the same process but use its unique requirements as stated below.

Because both the WSD and JFT use similar components methods, the SVT team has been directed to combine these two requirements into the SVT program.

Problem Statement:

This Call for Solutions seeks to address the need for an interim COTS solution for WSD and JFT, while also providing for proposal of prototype or developmental solutions fit for establishment of an Other Transaction (OTA). To accomplish this, there are four distinct responses available for companies to propose against.

2.1 The first response is for the establishment of a marketplace for COTS WSD items currently available for sale.

2.2 The second response is for the establishment of a marketplace for COTS JFT items currently for sale.

2.3 The third response is for proposals for evaluation and possible selection for entry into a WSD OTA, which seeks to replace EST2.

2.4 The fourth response is for proposals for evaluation and possible selection for entry into a JFT OTA.

To avoid confusion each requested response is separated into its own section

(COTS_WSD para. 3-13)

(COTS_JFT para. 14-24)

(OTA_WSD para. 25-35)

(OTA-JFT para. 36-46).

Respondents are advised to use the information from each section independently and do not mix one for the other.

Responding companies are invited to respond to one, some, any or all the calls for solutions detailed below. When responding, you must label each response as detailed within each section.
