The Department of the Army, through the Army Contracting Command-Orlando (W6QK ACC-ORLANDO), has issued a presolicitation notice (Procurement Identifier: W900KK-26-ST3-Professional-Services) seeking industry input for the upcoming procurement of professional acquisition support services in support of the Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test, and Threats (CPE ST3). This initiative is a critical component of the Army’s ongoing efforts to modernize and sustain its portfolio of over 370 products deployed at more than 400 locations worldwide, supporting both domestic and international Warfighters. **Purpose and Scope** The primary objective of this procurement is to identify qualified sources capable of delivering a broad range of professional services that enable CPE ST3 to fulfill its mission of acquiring, delivering, and maintaining advanced test, training, and threat solutions. The focus is on adopting an Agile program management approach to ensure flexibility, responsiveness, and scalability in support of the Army’s evolving operational and modernization priorities. The anticipated support encompasses product management, engineering, digital engineering, DevSecOps integration, validation and verification, test planning and execution, training support, data analytics, and sustainment planning. The Government is considering awarding up to two task orders under this effort: one for Engineering/Acquisition Support and another for CPE Staff Support. The contractor will be expected to provide highly specialized skills not readily available within the Government’s organic workforce, with the ability to surge unique expertise as mission needs dictate. The support will span the full acquisition lifecycle, including requirements development, market research, acquisition strategy, solicitation preparation, source selection, contract administration, and closeout activities. Contractors must be prepared to support a variety of contract types, including firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, IDIQ, and hybrid arrangements. **Key Requirements and Deliverables** Contractors must demonstrate the ability to deliver outcome-focused, task-based support rather than simply providing staff augmentation. The expectation is for measurable results that directly contribute to the success of CPE ST3’s testing, training, and threat capabilities. Key deliverables and requirements include: - Agile program management and delivery, with an emphasis on incremental value, continuous stakeholder engagement, and adaptive planning. - Expertise in simulation, training, test, and threat domains, including digital engineering, DevSecOps, and cybersecurity compliance. - Support for both pre-award and post-award acquisition activities across multiple program offices and functional areas. - Flexibility to adapt to changing mission requirements, acquisition priorities, and funding environments. - Compliance with all applicable Federal, Department of War, and Army acquisition regulations and best practices. - Ability to integrate with Government environments using tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Cameo, and other MBSE and CI/CD platforms. - Provision of data rights and licensing recommendations to ensure Government reuse and sustainment of models and simulations. **Contracting Entity and Location** The contracting activity is managed by W6QK ACC-ORLANDO, a federal office under the Department of Defense, Department of the Army.
