About this IDV
The Bridge to Enduring Synthetic Training Environment Tactical Engagement Simulation Systems (BEST) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at approximately $921.2 million, awarded to Vertex Aerospace LLC on March 6, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 5, 2030. Funded by the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), a Defense agency, this contract vehicle supports the modernization and sustainment of the Army's Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS) fleet. The contract encompasses two primary objectives: (1) modification and service life extension of existing TESS products by a minimum of 10 years, and (2) procurement of new TESS systems to address evolving Army force structure and weapon platform requirements. The acquisition strategy involves full and open competition across multiple award holders, with the scope potentially encompassing up to 210,000 TESS systems over the 10-year ordering period.
The contract was not set aside for small businesses and was preceded by a pre-solicitation notice posted in August 2022 with a due date of October 5, 2023. A minimum guarantee delivery order of $2,000 was issued to Vertex Aerospace on March 7, 2025, with performance in Orlando, Florida and completion by April 30, 2025. As a subsidiary of RTX Corporation, Vertex Aerospace brings extensive expertise in aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul services, though the TESS contract represents a departure into tactical simulation systems and training infrastructure. This contract vehicle enables the Army to modernize its synthetic training capabilities while maintaining operational readiness through structured task order competitions among multiple awarded contractors.
