Synthetic Training Environment (STE) RFI Report

The Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Request for Information (RFI) conducted by the Program Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation aimed to gather insights from industry and academia on developing a viable STE architecture, as well as to identify current and future product lines and specialized capabilities relevant to STE technologies. This market research activity, under solicitation number W900KK15STEARCH1, was initiated to support and inform the future STE program managed by PEO STRI. The RFI was posted on October 29, 2015, and the government provided feedback based on the responses received, clarifying that no further submissions or responses are requested at this time. Multiple NAICS codes have been used to encompass the range of potential contributors although no single official NAICS code for STE has been designated, encouraging participation from various industry sectors. Administered by the Department of Defense office located in Orlando, Florida, this RFI effort underscores a strategic approach to harness advanced simulation and training capabilities via integrated synthetic environments. The point of contact for this initiative is the contracting officer, Duane St. Peter. Moving forward, any additional calls for information or engagement will be communicated through formal postings, maintaining transparency and fostering continued collaboration between government and private sector stakeholders in the development of cutting-edge training solutions.
