About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center is soliciting for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to develop, integrate, test, and operate the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE), with solicitation release anticipated in 4th Quarter of calendar year 2027 and first task order award in 1st Quarter of calendar year 2028. This is an unrestricted or small-business set-aside competition—the Air Force is conducting a sources-sought effort closing October 15, 2026, to determine final competitive posture. The contract requires expertise in modeling and simulation capability development and operations/product support at designated test and training sites.
Primary performance locations are Joint Integrated Test and Training Center–Nellis AFB, Nevada (JITTC-N) and Joint Integrated Test and Training Center–Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska (JITTC-E), with the Air Force considering a third site in the European theatre and additional sites possible. Work encompasses development and integration of multiple training systems (JSE-compliant and non-JSE-compliant), COTS software and hardware, server infrastructure, secure audio/visual distribution for mission briefing and debriefing, networks supporting Secret/Collateral, TS/SCI, and SAP information, and system integration labs supporting development and testing.
The IDIQ carries a 10-year period of performance. The first task order, supporting JITTC-N operations, includes up to a 6-month transition period with the incumbent contractor. NAICS code 336413 applies. The sources-sought notice will inform whether competition remains unrestricted or converts to small-business set-aside.
