About this IDV
Cole Engineering Services, Inc. (CESI) was awarded a $921.2 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDV) by the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) on March 6, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 5, 2030. The contract, titled "Bridge to Enduring Synthetic Training Environment Tactical Engagement Simulation Systems (STE TESS) (BEST) Multiple Award Contract (MAC)," supports the Army's modernization and life extension of its Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS) infrastructure. Under this IDV, CESI will provide modifications, service life extensions, and procurement of new TESS systems to address evolving Army force structure and weapon platform requirements. The original solicitation, posted in August 2022, anticipated modifications and procurement of up to 210,000 TESS systems over a 10-year ordering period, with modification costs estimated to exceed $300 million. The contract carries no set-aside designation and operates as a full and open competitive multiple-award vehicle structured in two separate competitive lots: Lot 1 covering modification and service life extension of the existing TESS fleet, and Lot 2 addressing procurement of new TESS systems.
A firm fixed-price delivery order worth $2,000 was issued to CESI on March 7, 2025, representing the minimum guarantee delivery order under the BEST MAC, with delivery required by April 30, 2025. Performance is based in Orlando, Florida, where CESI maintains its primary operations supporting simulation, training, and instrumentation solutions for the Department of Defense. CESI, a subsidiary of By Light Professional IT Services LLC, leverages its extensive expertise in live, virtual, and constructive training environments, systems integration, and technical operations to fulfill the BEST MAC requirements. The contract positions CESI as a critical partner in sustaining and modernizing the Army's tactical training capabilities, building upon the company's established track record delivering modeling and simulation solutions across multiple defense domains and military branches.
