AI Contract Overview

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 project. The objective is to acquire a rapid, cost-effective, and technically sound 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 procurement is structured into five capability lots, with Lot 1 focusing on Common Core Software and Lot 5 on Enterprise Integration Support. The total estimated programmatic ceiling for all lots is approximately 250 million dollars. The acquisition follows an Other Transaction Agreement structure, beginning with a nine-month base prototype period to validate software stability and hardware integration, followed by pre-priced option periods covering a five-year lifecycle. Evaluation is based on schedule, technical merit, and solution viability, with a heavy emphasis on the speed of delivering accredited Table II virtual collective gunnery capabilities. For the current phase, solution submissions for Lots 1, 3, and 5 are due by October 13, 2026, while Lots 2 and 4 have been deferred. Strict organizational conflict of interest rules prohibit any entity performing on Lot 5 from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4. Technical requirements mandate a modular, service-oriented architecture, adherence to DISA STIGs for cybersecurity, and the provision of a Software Bill of Materials.
