Enterprise Training Services Contract (ETSC)

The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center, PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation awarded a multiple-award Master IDIQ for Enterprise Training Services on June 19, 2018, structured in two tracks — one full and open competition and one small business set-aside — with a final ordering deadline of June 17, 2023 that has now closed. The vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The ETSC vehicle has contracted $561.4 million in combined potential value across 51 task orders since award, with $397.2 million obligated (71% of potential). Activity peaked in 2022 with 10 orders but has since declined sharply; only one order was placed in 2025, and the most recent award (May 17, 2025) suggests residual execution activity on existing commitments rather than new competition. All awarded task orders carry firm-fixed-price or cost-no-fee pricing under FAR 52.217-8.

Work spans military training and training assistance across contingency and non-contingency operations, exercise development and support, operations and maintenance of training aids and devices, foreign military sales case training support, and security cooperation activities. Task orders fund programs in Afghanistan (now largely complete), Latvia, Georgia, Poland, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia alongside domestic training requirements including U.S. Army North, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Joint Modernization Command support.

Raytheon Company dominates by potential value, holding six orders worth $247 million—44% of the top-five primes' combined value and 36% of all potential value—reflecting the vehicle's concentration in large, complex training programs. PAE National Security Solutions LLC ($107.5 million across three orders), Pulau Corporation ($75.3 million, seven orders), and Amentum Services, Inc. ($41.7 million, four orders) form a tight second tier. The remaining six primes carry a combined $83.5 million. Applied Training Solutions and Engineering & Computer Simulations lead by order count (12 and 11 respectively) but carry lower individual values, indicating a mix of smaller training contracts.

Department of the Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command funds 80% of combined potential value ($450.8 million across 21 orders), primarily foreign military sales training support; PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation funds $109.4 million across 28 orders for domestic and exercise support. About 80% of orders are unrestricted; 20% are small business set-aside.

With the ordering period closed and recent awards winding down existing commitments, pursuit under ETSC is not viable for new work.

ETSC provides training and training assistance in military and civilian-related fields to strengthen Warfighter skills required to successfully perform mission requirements and bolster US foreign relations and national security objectives; providing exercise development and support to Army and partner nations to ensure effective combat readiness in support of current and future operations; and providing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) support of training aids and ancillary equipment to ensure the long term effectiveness of Army and partner nation's military forces.
