The Government is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing professional acquisition support services for the CPE ST3 mission via an Agile program management approach. Support may include product management, engineering support, digital engineering, DevSecOps integration, validation & verification, test planning/execution, training support, data analytics, and sustainment planning. The Government is considering awarding up to two Task Orders: one for Engineering/Acquisition Support and one for CPE Staff Support. Disclaimer: This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes—it does not constitute a solicitation. Responses are voluntary and non-compensated. No basis for claims shall arise as a result of this RFI or the Government’s use of any information. 1. Background & Purpose The Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test, and Threats (CPE ST3) is the Army's premier organization responsible for acquiring, delivering, and maintaining Test, Training, and Threat solutions to support both domestic and international Warfighters. With a portfolio of over 370 products deployed at more than 400 locations worldwide. CPE ST3 ensures that statutory and regulatory testing and training requirements are met for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) (Abrams, Bradley, Stryker, Apache, Chinook, Black Hawk, etc.), partner nations, enabling the Combatant Commander’s (COCOMs) and the Army Service Component Commander Theater Engagement Strategy. CPE ST3 operates under a mission to develop, deliver, and sustain cutting-edge capabilities that enhance readiness, interoperability, and operational effectiveness. Its Project Managers (PMs) and Project Leads (PLs) are tasked with driving innovation, ensuring compliance, and adapting to the Army's evolving needs. As the Army transforms to meet emerging threats and modernize its force, CPE ST3 is committed to delivering agile solutions that align with the Army's modernization priorities and international security cooperation objectives. This requirement reflects CPE ST3's commitment to transformation by adopting a task-based, outcome-focused, capability-centric, Agile Program Management approach that enables flexibility, responsiveness, and scalability. The contractor will play a critical role in supporting CPE ST3's mission by delivering specific, measurable results that ensure the success of testing, training, and threat capabilities for both domestic and international Warfighters. This is a mindset shift. Focus will be on task completion rather than staffing specific positions. Further, the contractor will provide the acquisition support services that are not resident within CPE ST3’s Government acquisition workforce areas of expertise. The contractor will need to provide flexibility to surge unique and critical expertise. The intent of this effort is to provide the Government with highly specialized skills not easily sourced or cost effective within organic formations. The contractor will provide flexibility in execution as threats and priorities change. This is critical to the rapid and dynamic nature of the CPE ST3 portfolio of systems. This shall provide CPE ST3 the capability to adapt to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of multi-domain operations, technical evolutions in testing and training warfighter systems and disciplines. This effort will provide focused acquisition support to enable delivery of foreign and domestic training and testing systems in all phases of the acquisition lifecycle, including but not limited to requirements development, market research, acquisition strategy formulation, solicitation preparation, source selection support, contract administration, and closeout activities. Support shall encompass a wide range of contract types and vehicles, including but not limited to firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ), and other hybrid arrangements. Contractors will be required to remain flexible to meet the unique needs of CPE ST3’s evolving mission. The contractor shall ensure that all acquisition support activities are executed in accordance with applicable Federal, Department of War (DoW), and Army acquisition regulations, policies, and best practices. This effort includes support for both pre-award and post-award activities, and may span multiple program offices, functional areas, and stakeholder groups within CPE ST3. The contractor shall be capable of adapting to evolving mission requirements, emerging acquisition priorities, and dynamic funding environments, while maintaining a high standard of professionalism, responsiveness, and technical competence. The Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test, and Threats (ST3) develops, integrates, and sustains capabilities that advance readiness through realistic training, credible threat environments, and rigorous test & evaluation (T&E). To accelerate capability delivery and enhance transparency, the Government anticipates leveraging an Agile program management strategy across multiple task orders emphasizing incremental value delivery, continuous stakeholder engagement, and adaptive planning. This RFI seeks industry input on capabilities, best practices, risks, and contracting approaches to inform the acquisition strategy, requirements, and solicitation structure for professional services supporting CPE ST3 mission needs. 2. Small Business & Socioeconomic Considerations The Government seeks input regarding small business participation, specifically, potential socio-economic set-asides. 3. RFI Instructions to Respondents Submission Instructions: Response Format: One (1) PDF; max 5 pages (excluding cover page and required administrative forms); 12-pt font; 1-inch margins. Submission Method: Via email ST3ProfessionalServices@army.mil with subject line: “RFI Response – ST3 Support Services – [Company Name]”. Proprietary information must be clearly marked; the Government will protect and handle IAW applicable regulations. Attachments: The Government will provide draft documents (PWS, CDRLs, etc) as they become appropriate for distribution. Content Order: Company Information: Name, UEI, CAGE, address; business size & socio-economic status; facility clearance; CMMC readiness level; NAICS/PSC recommendations. Capability Statement: Relevant experience in ST3 domains (simulation, training, test, threats); Agile program delivery; digital engineering; DevSecOps; cybersecurity compliance; classified work experience; recruiting and retention strategies. Team Composition: Suggested labor categories/roles (e.g., Agile PM, Scrum Master, Systems Engineer, MBSE Modeler, T&E Engineer, Cyber Analyst, Data Scientist); typical team size; surge capability. Tools & Environments: ALM tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps), MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo, Rhapsody), model repositories, CI/CD/security tooling; experience integrating with Government environments. Performance & Metrics: Examples of Agile metrics you use; how you measure operational value; case studies of iterative delivery in similar domains. Contracting & Pricing Feedback: Recommended vehicle(s); CLIN structure; risk management approaches; handling of ODCs/travel; data rights/licensing considerations (especially for models/simulations). Past Performance: Up to 3 references (Gov/DoD preferred) relevant to ST3-like missions with Agile delivery; include scope, period, dollar value, and POC. Appendices (optional, not counted against page limit): High-level org chart; draft labor category matrix; maturity model evidence (e.g., SAFe certifications, MBSE credentials). No Cost / No Commitment: This RFI is for market research under FAR Part 10. Responses are not offers and do not obligate the Government. 4. Questions to Industry Please consider the following for your response (concise, evidence-based responses are appreciated): Agile in DoD Context: What practices best enable Agile delivery for simulation/training/test/threats work (e.g., incremental capability releases, MBSE-based acceptance criteria, DevSecOps pipelines for models/data)? Metrics: Which three Agile performance metrics most reliably correlate with mission value (beyond velocity), and how would you operationalize them? Contract Structure: Recommend a contract/CLIN approach that balances iterative delivery with traceable outcomes (e.g., hybrid FFP-LOE for Agile teams + FFP deliverable CLINs for defined artifacts). Data Rights: Identify typical licensing/data rights terms for models/simulations and recommend language to ensure Government reuse and sustainment. Tools Integration: Share lessons learned integrating Jira/Azure DevOps with MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo), including versioning, baselines, and automated quality checks. Risks & Mitigations: Share potential risks associated with an Agile Program Management approach for professional services, and any relevant mitigation strategies to ensure success. 5.

Please see Sections 5, 6, and 7*** Summary: The Government is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing professional acquisition support services for the CPE ST3 mission via an Agile program management approach. Support may include product management, engineering support, digital engineering, DevSecOps integration, validation & verification, test planning/execution, training support, data analytics, and sustainment planning. The Government is considering awarding up to two Task Orders: one for Engineering/Acquisition Support and one for CPE Staff Support. Disclaimer: This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes—it does not constitute a solicitation. Responses are voluntary and non-compensated. No basis for claims shall arise as a result of this RFI or the Government’s use of any information. 1. Background & Purpose The Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test, and Threats (CPE ST3) is the Army's premier organization responsible for acquiring, delivering, and maintaining Test, Training, and Threat solutions to support both domestic and international Warfighters. With a portfolio of over 370 products deployed at more than 400 locations worldwide. CPE ST3 ensures that statutory and regulatory testing and training requirements are met for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) (Abrams, Bradley, Stryker, Apache, Chinook, Black Hawk, etc.), partner nations, enabling the Combatant Commander’s (COCOMs) and the Army Service Component Commander Theater Engagement Strategy. CPE ST3 operates under a mission to develop, deliver, and sustain cutting-edge capabilities that enhance readiness, interoperability, and operational effectiveness. Its Project Managers (PMs) and Project Leads (PLs) are tasked with driving innovation, ensuring compliance, and adapting to the Army's evolving needs. As the Army transforms to meet emerging threats and modernize its force, CPE ST3 is committed to delivering agile solutions that align with the Army's modernization priorities and international security cooperation objectives. This requirement reflects CPE ST3's commitment to transformation by adopting a task-based, outcome-focused, capability-centric, Agile Program Management approach that enables flexibility, responsiveness, and scalability. The contractor will play a critical role in supporting CPE ST3's mission by delivering specific, measurable results that ensure the success of testing, training, and threat capabilities for both domestic and international Warfighters. This is a mindset shift. Focus will be on task completion rather than staffing specific positions. Further, the contractor will provide the acquisition support services that are not resident within CPE ST3’s Government acquisition workforce areas of expertise. The contractor will need to provide flexibility to surge unique and critical expertise. The intent of this effort is to provide the Government with highly specialized skills not easily sourced or cost effective within organic formations. The contractor will provide flexibility in execution as threats and priorities change. This is critical to the rapid and dynamic nature of the CPE ST3 portfolio of systems. This shall provide CPE ST3 the capability to adapt to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of multi-domain operations, technical evolutions in testing and training warfighter systems and disciplines. This effort will provide focused acquisition support to enable delivery of foreign and domestic training and testing systems in all phases of the acquisition lifecycle, including but not limited to requirements development, market research, acquisition strategy formulation, solicitation preparation, source selection support, contract administration, and closeout activities. Support shall encompass a wide range of contract types and vehicles, including but not limited to firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ), and other hybrid arrangements. Contractors will be required to remain flexible to meet the unique needs of CPE ST3’s evolving mission. The contractor shall ensure that all acquisition support activities are executed in accordance with applicable Federal, Department of War (DoW), and Army acquisition regulations, policies, and best practices. This effort includes support for both pre-award and post-award activities, and may span multiple program offices, functional areas, and stakeholder groups within CPE ST3. The contractor shall be capable of adapting to evolving mission requirements, emerging acquisition priorities, and dynamic funding environments, while maintaining a high standard of professionalism, responsiveness, and technical competence. The Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test, and Threats (ST3) develops, integrates, and sustains capabilities that advance readiness through realistic training, credible threat environments, and rigorous test & evaluation (T&E). To accelerate capability delivery and enhance transparency, the Government anticipates leveraging an Agile program management strategy across multiple task orders emphasizing incremental value delivery, continuous stakeholder engagement, and adaptive planning. This RFI seeks industry input on capabilities, best practices, risks, and contracting approaches to inform the acquisition strategy, requirements, and solicitation structure for professional services supporting CPE ST3 mission needs. 2. Small Business & Socioeconomic Considerations The Government seeks input regarding small business participation, specifically, potential socio-economic set-asides. 3.

Please see Sections 5, 6, and 7*** Summary: The Government is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing professional acquisition support services for the CPE ST3 mission via an Agile program management approach. Support may include product management, engineering support, digital engineering, DevSecOps integration, validation & verification, test planning/execution, training support, data analytics, and sustainment planning. The Government is considering awarding up to two Task Orders: one for Engineering/Acquisition Support and one for CPE Staff Support. Disclaimer: This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes—it does not constitute a solicitation. Responses are voluntary and non-compensated. No basis for claims shall arise as a result of this RFI or the Government’s use of any information. 1. Background & Purpose The Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test, and Threats (CPE ST3) is the Army's premier organization responsible for acquiring, delivering, and maintaining Test, Training, and Threat solutions to support both domestic and international Warfighters. With a portfolio of over 370 products deployed at more than 400 locations worldwide. CPE ST3 ensures that statutory and regulatory testing and training requirements are met for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) (Abrams, Bradley, Stryker, Apache, Chinook, Black Hawk, etc.), partner nations, enabling the Combatant Commander’s (COCOMs) and the Army Service Component Commander Theater Engagement Strategy. CPE ST3 operates under a mission to develop, deliver, and sustain cutting-edge capabilities that enhance readiness, interoperability, and operational effectiveness. Its Project Managers (PMs) and Project Leads (PLs) are tasked with driving innovation, ensuring compliance, and adapting to the Army's evolving needs. As the Army transforms to meet emerging threats and modernize its force, CPE ST3 is committed to delivering agile solutions that align with the Army's modernization priorities and international security cooperation objectives. This requirement reflects CPE ST3's commitment to transformation by adopting a task-based, outcome-focused, capability-centric, Agile Program Management approach that enables flexibility, responsiveness, and scalability. The contractor will play a critical role in supporting CPE ST3's mission by delivering specific, measurable results that ensure the success of testing, training, and threat capabilities for both domestic and international Warfighters. This is a mindset shift. Focus will be on task completion rather than staffing specific positions. Further, the contractor will provide the acquisition support services that are not resident within CPE ST3’s Government acquisition workforce areas of expertise. The contractor will need to provide flexibility to surge unique and critical expertise. The intent of this effort is to provide the Government with highly specialized skills not easily sourced or cost effective within organic formations. The contractor will provide flexibility in execution as threats and priorities change. This is critical to the rapid and dynamic nature of the CPE ST3 portfolio of systems. This shall provide CPE ST3 the capability to adapt to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of multi-domain operations, technical evolutions in testing and training warfighter systems and disciplines.

The Government is considering awarding up to two Task Orders: one for Engineering/Acquisition Support and one for CPE Staff Support. Disclaimer: This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes—it does not constitute a solicitation. Responses are voluntary and non-compensated. No basis for claims shall arise as a result of this RFI or the Government’s use of any information. 1. Background & Purpose The Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test, and Threats (CPE ST3) is the Army's premier organization responsible for acquiring, delivering, and maintaining Test, Training, and Threat solutions to support both domestic and international Warfighters. With a portfolio of over 370 products deployed at more than 400 locations worldwide. CPE ST3 ensures that statutory and regulatory testing and training requirements are met for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) (Abrams, Bradley, Stryker, Apache, Chinook, Black Hawk, etc.), partner nations, enabling the Combatant Commander’s (COCOMs) and the Army Service Component Commander Theater Engagement Strategy. CPE ST3 operates under a mission to develop, deliver, and sustain cutting-edge capabilities that enhance readiness, interoperability, and operational effectiveness. Its Project Managers (PMs) and Project Leads (PLs) are tasked with driving innovation, ensuring compliance, and adapting to the Army's evolving needs. As the Army transforms to meet emerging threats and modernize its force, CPE ST3 is committed to delivering agile solutions that align with the Army's modernization priorities and international security cooperation objectives. This requirement reflects CPE ST3's commitment to transformation by adopting a task-based, outcome-focused, capability-centric, Agile Program Management approach that enables flexibility, responsiveness, and scalability. The contractor will play a critical role in supporting CPE ST3's mission by delivering specific, measurable results that ensure the success of testing, training, and threat capabilities for both domestic and international Warfighters. This is a mindset shift. Focus will be on task completion rather than staffing specific positions. Further, the contractor will provide the acquisition support services that are not resident within CPE ST3’s Government acquisition workforce areas of expertise. The contractor will need to provide flexibility to surge unique and critical expertise. The intent of this effort is to provide the Government with highly specialized skills not easily sourced or cost effective within organic formations. The contractor will provide flexibility in execution as threats and priorities change. This is critical to the rapid and dynamic nature of the CPE ST3 portfolio of systems. This shall provide CPE ST3 the capability to adapt to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of multi-domain operations, technical evolutions in testing and training warfighter systems and disciplines. This effort will provide focused acquisition support to enable delivery of foreign and domestic training and testing systems in all phases of the acquisition lifecycle, including but not limited to requirements development, market research, acquisition strategy formulation, solicitation preparation, source selection support, contract administration, and closeout activities. Support shall encompass a wide range of contract types and vehicles, including but not limited to firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ), and other hybrid arrangements. Contractors will be required to remain flexible to meet the unique needs of CPE ST3’s evolving mission. The contractor shall ensure that all acquisition support activities are executed in accordance with applicable Federal, Department of War (DoW), and Army acquisition regulations, policies, and best practices. This effort includes support for both pre-award and post-award activities, and may span multiple program offices, functional areas, and stakeholder groups within CPE ST3. The contractor shall be capable of adapting to evolving mission requirements, emerging acquisition priorities, and dynamic funding environments, while maintaining a high standard of professionalism, responsiveness, and technical competence. The Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test, and Threats (ST3) develops, integrates, and sustains capabilities that advance readiness through realistic training, credible threat environments, and rigorous test & evaluation (T&E). To accelerate capability delivery and enhance transparency, the Government anticipates leveraging an Agile program management strategy across multiple task orders emphasizing incremental value delivery, continuous stakeholder engagement, and adaptive planning. This RFI seeks industry input on capabilities, best practices, risks, and contracting approaches to inform the acquisition strategy, requirements, and solicitation structure for professional services supporting CPE ST3 mission needs. 2. Small Business & Socioeconomic Considerations The Government seeks input regarding small business participation, specifically, potential socio-economic set-asides. 3.

CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBERS (CLINS) Offerors must complete the pricing structure below. Ensure all fully burdened hourly rates are specified for the designated labor categories. CLIN STRUCTURE TO BE DETERMINED 4. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT CPE ST3 has a need for Agile Professional Services (APS) support services to provide the organization with the ability to augment its Military and Government Civilian workforce in order to execute its mission. The services will be limited to providing professional support services, under a Performance Based Services model, to CPE ST3 and CPE ST3 customers for limited requirements which are related to CPE ST3’s mission. Since its inception, CPE ST3 has relied on contractor support to conduct its mission in all phases of life cycle management due to insufficient personnel within the organization to successfully perform the required services. This model of a Government footprint with a scalable contractor workforce has enabled CPE ST3 to be very flexible and agile in its mission to support the changing needs of the Army. The services to be performed will include related activities in support of all aspects of providing responsive integrated and interoperable infrastructure for simulation, training, testing, and threat solutions. APS support services are required for effective, efficient, and responsive full lifecycle management of efforts to include, but not limited to: administrative support, vision statements and doctrine, development of architectures, program support (e.g., acquisition and budget planning, business and financial programming and execution, modeling, simulation, simulator, training device, and instrumentation development, documentation, fielding and execution, system analysis and integration, integrated logistics support, strategic planning, contingency and mission support, security cooperation/international relations, program oversight, independent verification validation and test evaluation, prototype development, sustainment and operations, and analysis of emerging technologies support), and subject matter experts on military tactics, techniques, and procedures. Potential areas of growth are envisioned, but not limited to be in the areas of Cyber and Information Warfare, Robotics, Unmanned Vehicles, Home Station Training, Multi-Sensory Simulation, Artificial Intelligence, Environment Modeling, Human Performance Training, Security Cooperation, and Medical Training. The critical performance requirement is the successful development and transition of CPE ST3 from a traditional, staffing-based support model to a task-based, outcome-driven Agile delivery framework that is to be developed by the Performer. Success will be measured by the contractor's ability to develop and iterate, through performance under the resultant contract, a framework that both provides the following, and is able to be replicated across future requirements: Provide flexible and scalable teams of cleared, specialized personnel. Implement and mature Agile, DevSecOps, and digital engineering practices. Integrate with government tools, environments, and processes (Jira, Cameo, etc.). Deliver measurable outcomes tied to mission readiness and warfighter needs, rather than just level-of-effort. Ensure compliance with DoD acquisition, cybersecurity (CMMC, RMF), and data rights regulations. Work will be performed at Government facilities, Contractor facilities, and Remote locations. Primary Government sites include Orlando, FL, and Redstone Arsenal, AL (including 24/7 operations). Additional Government sites include: Fort Campbell, KY; Fort Hood, TX; Fort Drum, NY; Fort Irwin, CA; Fort Polk, LA; Fort Rucker, AL; Fort Bragg, NC; Hohenfels, Germany; and Camp Humphreys, South Korea. The contractor should take into consideration that all acquisition support activities will be executed in accordance with applicable Federal, Department of War (DoW), and Army acquisition regulations, policies, and best practices. ***SEE SECTION 4 OF THE ATTACHED WORD DOCUMENT VERSION OF THIS COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR CURRENT LEVEL OF EFFORT AND MAGNITUDE DATA*** 5.

Darling Late Submissions: Late submissions will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f). 8. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (“OCI) DISCLOSURE 8.1. General Requirement: Because of the Contractor’s proximity to inherently governmental functions and access to non-public, sensitive acquisition information, the Offeror must submit an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Mitigation Plan. Definition of the Baseline Competitive Exclusion: A. Baseline Competitive Exclusion and Core Purpose: The “Baseline Competitive Exclusion” is a preventive procurement restriction established in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5 (Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest). Its core purpose is to neutralize potential conflicts of interest—specifically “biased ground rules” and “impaired objectivity”—that naturally arise because Contractor personnel on this contract will support sensitive pre-acquisition planning, technical analysis of alternatives, and requirements-gathering adjacent to inherently governmental functions. B. Scope of the Exclusion (The “What”): Under the Baseline Competitive Exclusion, the Contractor is strictly prohibited from bidding on, competing for, performing, or otherwise supporting any competitive program work within the U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threat (CPE ST3) portfolio. This includes, but is not limited to: Product and hardware development; Tactical system integration; Software engineering and commercial software licensing; Platform testing and evaluation; and Fielding and sustainment hardware contracts. C. Affected Entities (The “Who”): Except where a formal Firewall Exemption is explicitly approved by the Contracting Officer in accordance with Section 3 of this factor, this exclusion applies corporately and collectively to: The Prime Contractor; All members of the Prime Contractor’s joint venture, teaming arrangement, or partnership; All proposed Subcontractors; and All parent companies, subsidiaries, sister sectors, and corporate affiliates of the Prime Contractor and its Subcontractors. D. Duration (The “When”): The Baseline Competitive Exclusion shall remain in effect for the entire duration of this contract (inclusive of all base years, option years, and any performance extensions or transition phases) plus an additional period of one (1) year following the final date of contract performance. 8.1.2 Baseline Acknowledgment: The Offeror must clearly state that they intend to abide by the Baseline Competitive Exclusion (preventing the Prime, Subcontractors, and Affiliates from bidding on CPE ST3 product/hardware work). 8.2 Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s OCI Mitigation Plan on a strictly “Pass/Fail” basis. The evaluation will determine if the Offeror has successfully identified, avoided, neutralized, or mitigated all potential OCIs in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5 and the strict criteria established in FAR 52.212-2 (Attached). 8.2.1 Evaluation Criteria: To receive a rating of “Pass,” the Offeror’s OCI Mitigation Plan must definitively meet both of the following two conditions: Condition A (Baseline Exclusion): The Offeror explicitly accepts the Baseline Competitive Exclusion for its entire team (Prime, Subs, Affiliates) without exception. Condition B (Firewall Exemption): The Offeror submits, as a part of their proposal, a completed and acceptable OCI mitigation Plan for any CURRENT OCI’s disclosed. Pre-existing OCI issues will NOT preclude contract award. To be rated “Pass” under Condition B, the plan must provide the specific documentation required for all three (3) objective firewall elements: Unequal Access to Information, Biased Ground Rules, and Impaired Objectivity. 8.2.2 “Fail” Rating and Ineligibility: A proposal that fails to provide a comprehensive OCI Mitigation Plan, or a plan that fails to objectively prove the isolation elements required for a Firewall Exemption, will receive a “Fail” rating. 8.2.3 No Post-Award Negotiation: The Government will not make an award to an Offeror with a “Fail” OCI Mitigation Plan. The Government will not conditionally approve the OCI Mitigation Plan or negotiate material firewall terms after contract award.

CLIN STRUCTURE TO BE DETERMINED 4. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT CPE ST3 has a need for Agile Professional Services (APS) support services to provide the organization with the ability to augment its Military and Government Civilian workforce in order to execute its mission. The services will be limited to providing professional support services, under a Performance Based Services model, to CPE ST3 and CPE ST3 customers for limited requirements which are related to CPE ST3’s mission. Since its inception, CPE ST3 has relied on contractor support to conduct its mission in all phases of life cycle management due to insufficient personnel within the organization to successfully perform the required services. This model of a Government footprint with a scalable contractor workforce has enabled CPE ST3 to be very flexible and agile in its mission to support the changing needs of the Army. The services to be performed will include related activities in support of all aspects of providing responsive integrated and interoperable infrastructure for simulation, training, testing, and threat solutions. APS support services are required for effective, efficient, and responsive full lifecycle management of efforts to include, but not limited to: administrative support, vision statements and doctrine, development of architectures, program support (e.g., acquisition and budget planning, business and financial programming and execution, modeling, simulation, simulator, training device, and instrumentation development, documentation, fielding and execution, system analysis and integration, integrated logistics support, strategic planning, contingency and mission support, security cooperation/international relations, program oversight, independent verification validation and test evaluation, prototype development, sustainment and operations, and analysis of emerging technologies support), and subject matter experts on military tactics, techniques, and procedures. Potential areas of growth are envisioned, but not limited to be in the areas of Cyber and Information Warfare, Robotics, Unmanned Vehicles, Home Station Training, Multi-Sensory Simulation, Artificial Intelligence, Environment Modeling, Human Performance Training, Security Cooperation, and Medical Training. The critical performance requirement is the successful development and transition of CPE ST3 from a traditional, staffing-based support model to a task-based, outcome-driven Agile delivery framework that is to be developed by the Performer. Success will be measured by the contractor's ability to develop and iterate, through performance under the resultant contract, a framework that both provides the following, and is able to be replicated across future requirements: Provide flexible and scalable teams of cleared, specialized personnel. Implement and mature Agile, DevSecOps, and digital engineering practices. Integrate with government tools, environments, and processes (Jira, Cameo, etc.). Deliver measurable outcomes tied to mission readiness and warfighter needs, rather than just level-of-effort. Ensure compliance with DoD acquisition, cybersecurity (CMMC, RMF), and data rights regulations. Work will be performed at Government facilities, Contractor facilities, and Remote locations. Primary Government sites include Orlando, FL, and Redstone Arsenal, AL (including 24/7 operations). Additional Government sites include: Fort Campbell, KY; Fort Hood, TX; Fort Drum, NY; Fort Irwin, CA; Fort Polk, LA; Fort Rucker, AL; Fort Bragg, NC; Hohenfels, Germany; and Camp Humphreys, South Korea. The contractor should take into consideration that all acquisition support activities will be executed in accordance with applicable Federal, Department of War (DoW), and Army acquisition regulations, policies, and best practices. ***SEE SECTION 4 OF THE ATTACHED WORD DOCUMENT VERSION OF THIS COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR CURRENT LEVEL OF EFFORT AND MAGNITUDE DATA*** 5.

Darling Late Submissions: Late submissions will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f). 8. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (“OCI) DISCLOSURE 8.1. General Requirement: Because of the Contractor’s proximity to inherently governmental functions and access to non-public, sensitive acquisition information, the Offeror must submit an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Mitigation Plan. Definition of the Baseline Competitive Exclusion: A. Baseline Competitive Exclusion and Core Purpose: The “Baseline Competitive Exclusion” is a preventive procurement restriction established in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5 (Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest). Its core purpose is to neutralize potential conflicts of interest—specifically “biased ground rules” and “impaired objectivity”—that naturally arise because Contractor personnel on this contract will support sensitive pre-acquisition planning, technical analysis of alternatives, and requirements-gathering adjacent to inherently governmental functions. B. Scope of the Exclusion (The “What”): Under the Baseline Competitive Exclusion, the Contractor is strictly prohibited from bidding on, competing for, performing, or otherwise supporting any competitive program work within the U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threat (CPE ST3) portfolio. This includes, but is not limited to: Product and hardware development; Tactical system integration; Software engineering and commercial software licensing; Platform testing and evaluation; and Fielding and sustainment hardware contracts. C. Affected Entities (The “Who”): Except where a formal Firewall Exemption is explicitly approved by the Contracting Officer in accordance with Section 3 of this factor, this exclusion applies corporately and collectively to: The Prime Contractor; All members of the Prime Contractor’s joint venture, teaming arrangement, or partnership; All proposed Subcontractors; and All parent companies, subsidiaries, sister sectors, and corporate affiliates of the Prime Contractor and its Subcontractors. D. Duration (The “When”): The Baseline Competitive Exclusion shall remain in effect for the entire duration of this contract (inclusive of all base years, option years, and any performance extensions or transition phases) plus an additional period of one (1) year following the final date of contract performance. 8.1.2 Baseline Acknowledgment: The Offeror must clearly state that they intend to abide by the Baseline Competitive Exclusion (preventing the Prime, Subcontractors, and Affiliates from bidding on CPE ST3 product/hardware work). 8.2 Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s OCI Mitigation Plan on a strictly “Pass/Fail” basis. The evaluation will determine if the Offeror has successfully identified, avoided, neutralized, or mitigated all potential OCIs in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5 and the strict criteria established in FAR 52.212-2 (Attached). 8.2.1 Evaluation Criteria: To receive a rating of “Pass,” the Offeror’s OCI Mitigation Plan must definitively meet both of the following two conditions: Condition A (Baseline Exclusion): The Offeror explicitly accepts the Baseline Competitive Exclusion for its entire team (Prime, Subs, Affiliates) without exception. Condition B (Firewall Exemption): The Offeror submits, as a part of their proposal, a completed and acceptable OCI mitigation Plan for any CURRENT OCI’s disclosed. Pre-existing OCI issues will NOT preclude contract award. To be rated “Pass” under Condition B, the plan must provide the specific documentation required for all three (3) objective firewall elements: Unequal Access to Information, Biased Ground Rules, and Impaired Objectivity. 8.2.2 “Fail” Rating and Ineligibility: A proposal that fails to provide a comprehensive OCI Mitigation Plan, or a plan that fails to objectively prove the isolation elements required for a Firewall Exemption, will receive a “Fail” rating. 8.2.3 No Post-Award Negotiation: The Government will not make an award to an Offeror with a “Fail” OCI Mitigation Plan. The Government will not conditionally approve the OCI Mitigation Plan or negotiate material firewall terms after contract award. If an Offeror receives a “Fail” rating for this factor, their entire proposal will be deemed unawardable and removed from further consideration. 9.

CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBERS (CLINS) Offerors must complete the pricing structure below. Ensure all fully burdened hourly rates are specified for the designated labor categories. CLIN STRUCTURE TO BE DETERMINED 4. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT CPE ST3 has a need for Agile Professional Services (APS) support services to provide the organization with the ability to augment its Military and Government Civilian workforce in order to execute its mission. The services will be limited to providing professional support services, under a Performance Based Services model, to CPE ST3 and CPE ST3 customers for limited requirements which are related to CPE ST3’s mission. Since its inception, CPE ST3 has relied on contractor support to conduct its mission in all phases of life cycle management due to insufficient personnel within the organization to successfully perform the required services. This model of a Government footprint with a scalable contractor workforce has enabled CPE ST3 to be very flexible and agile in its mission to support the changing needs of the Army. The services to be performed will include related activities in support of all aspects of providing responsive integrated and interoperable infrastructure for simulation, training, testing, and threat solutions. APS support services are required for effective, efficient, and responsive full lifecycle management of efforts to include, but not limited to: administrative support, vision statements and doctrine, development of architectures, program support (e.g., acquisition and budget planning, business and financial programming and execution, modeling, simulation, simulator, training device, and instrumentation development, documentation, fielding and execution, system analysis and integration, integrated logistics support, strategic planning, contingency and mission support, security cooperation/international relations, program oversight, independent verification validation and test evaluation, prototype development, sustainment and operations, and analysis of emerging technologies support), and subject matter experts on military tactics, techniques, and procedures. Potential areas of growth are envisioned, but not limited to be in the areas of Cyber and Information Warfare, Robotics, Unmanned Vehicles, Home Station Training, Multi-Sensory Simulation, Artificial Intelligence, Environment Modeling, Human Performance Training, Security Cooperation, and Medical Training. The critical performance requirement is the successful development and transition of CPE ST3 from a traditional, staffing-based support model to a task-based, outcome-driven Agile delivery framework that is to be developed by the Performer. Success will be measured by the contractor's ability to develop and iterate, through performance under the resultant contract, a framework that both provides the following, and is able to be replicated across future requirements: Provide flexible and scalable teams of cleared, specialized personnel. Implement and mature Agile, DevSecOps, and digital engineering practices. Integrate with government tools, environments, and processes (Jira, Cameo, etc.). Deliver measurable outcomes tied to mission readiness and warfighter needs, rather than just level-of-effort. Ensure compliance with DoD acquisition, cybersecurity (CMMC, RMF), and data rights regulations. Work will be performed at Government facilities, Contractor facilities, and Remote locations. Primary Government sites include Orlando, FL, and Redstone Arsenal, AL (including 24/7 operations). Additional Government sites include: Fort Campbell, KY; Fort Hood, TX; Fort Drum, NY; Fort Irwin, CA; Fort Polk, LA; Fort Rucker, AL; Fort Bragg, NC; Hohenfels, Germany; and Camp Humphreys, South Korea. The contractor should take into consideration that all acquisition support activities will be executed in accordance with applicable Federal, Department of War (DoW), and Army acquisition regulations, policies, and best practices. ***SEE SECTION 4 OF THE ATTACHED WORD DOCUMENT VERSION OF THIS COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR CURRENT LEVEL OF EFFORT AND MAGNITUDE DATA*** 5.

Darling Late Submissions: Late submissions will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f). 8. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (“OCI) DISCLOSURE 8.1. General Requirement: Because of the Contractor’s proximity to inherently governmental functions and access to non-public, sensitive acquisition information, the Offeror must submit an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Mitigation Plan. Definition of the Baseline Competitive Exclusion: A. Baseline Competitive Exclusion and Core Purpose: The “Baseline Competitive Exclusion” is a preventive procurement restriction established in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5 (Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest). Its core purpose is to neutralize potential conflicts of interest—specifically “biased ground rules” and “impaired objectivity”—that naturally arise because Contractor personnel on this contract will support sensitive pre-acquisition planning, technical analysis of alternatives, and requirements-gathering adjacent to inherently governmental functions. B. Scope of the Exclusion (The “What”): Under the Baseline Competitive Exclusion, the Contractor is strictly prohibited from bidding on, competing for, performing, or otherwise supporting any competitive program work within the U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threat (CPE ST3) portfolio. This includes, but is not limited to: Product and hardware development; Tactical system integration; Software engineering and commercial software licensing; Platform testing and evaluation; and Fielding and sustainment hardware contracts. C. Affected Entities (The “Who”): Except where a formal Firewall Exemption is explicitly approved by the Contracting Officer in accordance with Section 3 of this factor, this exclusion applies corporately and collectively to: The Prime Contractor; All members of the Prime Contractor’s joint venture, teaming arrangement, or partnership; All proposed Subcontractors; and All parent companies, subsidiaries, sister sectors, and corporate affiliates of the Prime Contractor and its Subcontractors. D. Duration (The “When”): The Baseline Competitive Exclusion shall remain in effect for the entire duration of this contract (inclusive of all base years, option years, and any performance extensions or transition phases) plus an additional period of one (1) year following the final date of contract performance. 8.1.2 Baseline Acknowledgment: The Offeror must clearly state that they intend to abide by the Baseline Competitive Exclusion (preventing the Prime, Subcontractors, and Affiliates from bidding on CPE ST3 product/hardware work). 8.2 Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s OCI Mitigation Plan on a strictly “Pass/Fail” basis. The evaluation will determine if the Offeror has successfully identified, avoided, neutralized, or mitigated all potential OCIs in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5 and the strict criteria established in FAR 52.212-2 (Attached). 8.2.1 Evaluation Criteria: To receive a rating of “Pass,” the Offeror’s OCI Mitigation Plan must definitively meet both of the following two conditions: Condition A (Baseline Exclusion): The Offeror explicitly accepts the Baseline Competitive Exclusion for its entire team (Prime, Subs, Affiliates) without exception. Condition B (Firewall Exemption): The Offeror submits, as a part of their proposal, a completed and acceptable OCI mitigation Plan for any CURRENT OCI’s disclosed. Pre-existing OCI issues will NOT preclude contract award. To be rated “Pass” under Condition B, the plan must provide the specific documentation required for all three (3) objective firewall elements: Unequal Access to Information, Biased Ground Rules, and Impaired Objectivity. 8.2.2 “Fail” Rating and Ineligibility: A proposal that fails to provide a comprehensive OCI Mitigation Plan, or a plan that fails to objectively prove the isolation elements required for a Firewall Exemption, will receive a “Fail” rating. 8.2.3 No Post-Award Negotiation: The Government will not make an award to an Offeror with a “Fail” OCI Mitigation Plan. The Government will not conditionally approve the OCI Mitigation Plan or negotiate material firewall terms after contract award. If an Offeror receives a “Fail” rating for this factor, their entire proposal will be deemed unawardable and removed from further consideration. 9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Questions: The deadline to submit questions for this Draft RFP is August 9th, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST.
