Brief Description: The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) has a requirement to equip MTC locations with the training enablers needed to conduct individual and collective Mission Command (MC) training. The MTC serves as the installation's focal point for integrated Home Station Training by integrating multiple training assets - facilities, technical and support personnel, live digital ranges, virtual simulators and simulations and constructive simulation in support of mission command training (individual, leader, crew/section, battle staff, collective) for operational units. The BCTC-ES program provides training enablers to 34 MTC locations supporting the Active Component (AC), Army National Guard (ARNG) and US Army Reserve (USAR) at CONUS and OCONUS installations. In addition to providing the initial fielding, PEO STRI has the requirement to provide life cycle replacement of COTS IT hardware and software required to meet the Cybersecurity and Risk Management Framework (RMF) policies for Department of Defense (DoD) IT systems to maintain cybersecurity and replacement of defective furniture, fixtures & equipment (FFE) during the performance of this contract. BCTC-ES enables training effectiveness by providing the MTC with an improved ability to link constructive simulations with MC training, connecting the training environment to the operational environments.

The BCTC-ES Contractor shall provide personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, labor and other items necessary to perform PM, engineering support services, logistics, procurement of COTS IT hardware and software, furniture, audiovisual and video teleconference equipment and installation services at various MTC locations in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS).
