AceXR virtual Shooting

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point is procuring AceXR virtual reality training equipment through the Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Eustis. The procurement consists of 3 Ace Enterprise Kits with software licenses, 27 Meta Quest 3 VR headsets, 27 BOBO VR headstraps, 22 SIG P320 training replicas for Quest 3, 5 Ace Arctus Quest 3 devices with holsters, carrying cases, and Meta for Business Management licenses to expand simulated marksmanship training capabilities for USMA Cadets. This is a brand name acquisition requiring solicitations from authorized AceXR resellers only, as the government determined through market research that AceXR is the sole source meeting their specific requirements for non-firearm replica training of the M17 service pistol. The solicitation will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable criteria with a Firm Fixed Price arrangement. Offers are due on August 26, 2025 at 10:00 AM, with delivery required within 45 calendar days from the date of award.

The solicitation contains conflicting set-aside information, with the initial notice indicating no set-aside but the detailed solicitation document specifying it as a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers). No specific incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation, as this represents a new capability acquisition for the West Point Simulation Center that supports over $1.3 million in facility development investments. The procurement includes 27 individual VR training stations with associated accessories and holsters, along with 3 enterprise-level training management systems and 2-year software licenses. All equipment and services will be delivered to and performed at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, with funding provided through Operations & Maintenance, Army appropriations for Fiscal Year 2025.
