About this opportunity
The Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office is conducting market research for an immersive virtual reality training system at the Management and Specialty Training Center in Aurora, Colorado, with responses due September 4, 2026. This is a sources-sought announcement only; no solicitation has been issued and a contract may not result. The market research will inform set-aside status and solicitation formation.
The system requirement includes a fully integrated 300-degree, five-screen law enforcement-based VR simulator without wearable headsets, pre-built correctional law enforcement scenarios emphasizing de-escalation and use-of-force training, customizable scenario software, instructor-controlled operations, student reporting and analysis capabilities, and less-than-lethal simulation options including OC spray and bean bag shotguns. The system must operate without internet access with all data stored in the United States only and must be provided by a U.S.-based vendor.
The Government contemplates awarding a firm fixed-price contract. Delivery and installation are required 30 to 60 days after award, with instructor training within 10 business days of installation. Respondents must be the manufacturer or hold an Authorized Distributor Letter; the sources sought specifically references VirTra V-300 4K systems on a brand-name-or-equal basis. The procurement is classified under NAICS 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC 6910 (Training Aids), with a Small Business Administration size standard of 1,000 employees. No set-aside applies. Responses should be submitted to Contract Specialist LaQueta Wheeler at llwheeler@bop.gov. If a future solicitation uses GSA as the vehicle, an RFQ will be posted to GSA eBuy restricted to firms holding applicable GSA Schedule contracts.
