About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE) Cyber Range Development Software Application Project. This special notice, posted under solicitation W900KK-25-R-0055, is seeking input from interested and capable parties regarding a software solution for cyber training environments. The RFI is designed to explore potential software applications that can support advanced cyber range development and training capabilities. Importantly, this is not a formal solicitation or commitment to procurement, but rather an information-gathering exercise to help the government develop its acquisition strategy. The notice was published on April 1, 2025, with responses due by April 21, 2025.
The primary objective of this RFI is to identify software solutions that can create a realistic, scalable cyber range environment for cybersecurity training, supporting simulated cyberattacks and defensive scenarios. Contractors are encouraged to submit comprehensive responses detailing their system architecture, deployment options, scenario simulation capabilities, and integration potential with existing PCTE tools. There are no specific eligibility restrictions, and vendors can propose existing, developmental, or combination solutions that might meet the government's needs. The Army is seeking an out-of-the-box software solution that can be modified for the PCTE architecture, with potential follow-up opportunities such as a Cyber Innovation Challenge. All submissions will become government property, and respondents should include a company profile, case studies, and marketing materials explaining their proposed solution. The government emphasizes that no compensation will be provided for responses, and no down-selections will be made based on the RFI submissions.
