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.
