The Department of the Air Force awarded a $59.3 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contract to Mass Virtual, Inc., a veteran-owned small business, to provide virtual reality training systems and services to various Air Force commands. Under this IDV, Mass Virtual has delivered a wide range of VR training solutions, including systems for aircraft maintainers, VR modules for C-130J, AC-130J, and CV-22 aircraft, and specialized training for munitions handling and electronic warfare. Multiple Air Force agencies, such as Air Education and Training Command, Air Mobility Command, and Air Combat Command, have issued task orders against this IDV, ranging from small equipment purchases to multi-million dollar contracts for comprehensive VR training systems. This supports the Air Force's technical education modernization efforts by enabling personnel to practice complex procedures and tasks in immersive virtual environments, enhancing safety, efficiency, and readiness in critical occupational specialties.
The original solicitation was a sole-source requirement for additional VR training services from Mass Virtual under an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) awarded by the Air Force Sustainment Center. The rationale was Mass Virtual's proven performance, unique expertise, and possession of essential data and skills to continue the successful VR training program. The follow-on contract has a 5-year period of performance from September 2020 to September 2025 and does not include any set-aside designations.
