PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Army Capabilities Integration and Development System (ACIDS) Analysts 25 February 2026

Part 1 General Information

1. General: This is a non-personal service(s) contract under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over Contractor or Subcontractor employees while performing work under the contract. Such employees shall be accountable solely to the Contractor, not the Government. The Contractor, in turn, shall be accountable to the Government for Contractor or Subcontractor employees.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This is a non-personal service(s) contract to provide the comprehensive analysis, development, documentation, integration, coordination, and writing support to the Army Training Support Center, Force on Force Training Division.

The Contractor shall provide services, which include equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform ACIDS analysis, architecture support, and requirements document development as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall clearly define next-generation Live training Instrumentation and Tactical Engagement Simulation requirements by providing a thorough research, analysis, and production of the deliverables required to complete the formal Army Capabilities Integration and Development System (ACIDS) processes. The result of this effort will provide synergy and focus for the materiel development of the Synthetic Training Environment Live Training System (STE LTS).

1.2 Background: The dynamic Live Training Environment (LTE) requires capabilities that are aligned and integrated with the Virtual, Constructive and Gaming Domain’s Training Aids Devices Simulators & Simulations (TADSS) portfolio. This effort will support the Force-on- Force Training Division’s (FoFTD) responsibility to develop Live training capabilities that are nested within the Army Training Strategy. The ACIDS process requires the Army to articulate and document a broad range of LTE requirements that drive the development of a dynamic Synthetic Training Environment (STE). This will enable the timely fielding of cost-effective training capabilities that are aligned with the Live Training Transformation (LT2) Strategy and DoD Architectural Framework (DoDAF).

1.3 Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal service(s). The Requirements Analysts will work with the Government’s Subject Matter Experts (SME), Live Training Specialists, Engineers, and Architects, to define the concept of operations (CONOPS) and codify, in accordance with the ACIDS process, current and future LTE requirements for TES and IS Systems. The Analysts will describe Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) and Instrumentation System (IS) requirements for home station, local training areas, deployed training areas, institutions, and maneuver Combat Training Centers (CTC). The Analysts shall have two distinct focus areas:

(a) Instrumentation System (IS) Requirements

(b) Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) Requirements

1.4 Objectives: The Requirements Analysts will have three primary missions:

(a) Draft and staff STE Live Training System IS and TES Concept of Employment (CONEMP), Capability Development Documents (CDD), and other supporting requirements documents through the Army Transformation and Training Command staffing process and DA approval.

(b) Respond to queries, comments, directed document revisions, and related tasks.

(c) Provide capability and gap analysis, and identify the critical documentation required to initiate, with the materiel developer, the formal development/Milestone processes for IS and

TES.

These products will provide synergy and focus in support of current and future Live training using integrated IS and TES systems in an immersive environment.
