Civilians in the Battlefield Training Enhancement Support

The Civilians in the Battlefield Training Enhancement Support (CVBTS) is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) to provide comprehensive training support services for military simulation and scenario-based training environments. The contract encompasses a wide range of support services, including role players, makeup artists, set builders, and program management for battlefield training scenarios. Training aids covered under this vehicle include vehicles, storefront facings, watercraft, blank firing weapons, and other battlefield effects designed to create immersive, realistic training environments for military personnel.

The task orders under this IDIQ are predominantly small-dollar, firm fixed-price delivery orders with values typically ranging from $5,000 to $175,000 and performance periods spanning several weeks to a few months. Mid Atlantic Professionals Inc. (doing business as SSI Group) appears to be the most frequent prime contractor, consistently winning competitive 8(a) set-aside task orders. The contract primarily supports the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, with performance locations including Germantown, Maryland, and various military training sites across the Continental United States (CONUS). The competitive 8(a) set-aside designation indicates these task orders are specifically targeted to support small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, with a focus on providing specialized training support services that enhance military readiness and operational preparation.
