Army Virtual Learning Environment 2017-2022 (AVLE)

The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command awarded this Master IDIQ for distributed learning training and education products on December 20, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $509.9 million and final ordering authority that closed on February 21, 2023. The vehicle is now closed to new task orders; all funding opportunities under it have expired.

The IDIQ contracted virtual learning design, development, and delivery across five instructional multimedia levels (0–4), employing innovative instructional strategies and methodologies to support analysis, synthesis, and effective learning domains. Awarded task orders focus on AVLE support services spanning course development, sustainment, and labor support across specialized Army schools and training commands—the Unit History Officer Fundamentals Course, Sustainment Systems Master Gunner Course, Joint Logistics Over the Shore training, aviation hardware and safety courses, and mandatory training such as Sexual Harassment Awareness (SHARP). Work is performed across distributed Army Training and Doctrine Command locations.

The vehicle closed with 67 task orders awarded between December 2017 and September 2022. Activity peaked in 2021 at 18 orders and declined to 9 in 2022, the final year of ordering. The six prime contractors are Nis-Keybridge LLC, Advanced Computer Learning Company LLC, Webworld Technologies Inc., CPC2 Joint Venture LLC, Stracon Services Group LLC, and Dawson-Innove JV LLC. Advanced Computer Learning and Nis-Keybridge dominate: Advanced Computer Learning holds 19 orders valued at $14.8 million combined potential, and Nis-Keybridge holds 23 orders valued at $11.1 million combined potential. These two firms account for approximately 70% of task-order count and 71% of awarded potential value. The remaining four primes and small-business subcontractors share the balance, with Stracon Services Group capturing three orders worth $5.9 million potential value. Approximately 82% of orders carried no set-aside designation; the remaining 18% were competitive 8(a) awards. All $38.5 million of combined task-order potential value has been obligated. Customer funding is concentrated: Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command placed 57 orders (86.6% of total) valued at $36.7 million combined potential. Three additional Army offices issued the remaining seven orders. Task orders were firm fixed price, typically ranging from roughly $50 thousand to $3.9 million in obligated value, with a majority of awards in the low-to-mid-hundreds of thousands range. The vehicle's name reflects its 2017–2022 operational period; successors or related vehicles under Army Training and Doctrine Command procurement warrant evaluation for ongoing distributed learning and training support opportunities.

The Army Virtual Learning Environment (AVLE) provides virtual learning for training and education products in support of the Department of the Army. A few of the key performance outcomes are to design, develop, and deliver an extensive range of distributed learning training and education products, to develop five levels (0 through 4) of instructional multimedia (level 5 is not in the scope of this contract or subsequent task orders), design products employing innovative instructional strategies and methodologies, and to design products that support analysis, synthesis, and effective domains of learning.
