About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Hood intends to sole-source this procurement of Dynamic Advanced Reactive Training (DART) simulator equipment to Digimation, Inc. under FAR Part 12 (Commercial Items), with a notice-of-intent response deadline of September 17, 2026.
The procuring entity is the 1st Infantry Division Health and Fitness program through MICC Fort Riley, using FY2026 Operations & Maintenance, Army funds. This procurement falls below the simplified acquisition threshold. The equipment will support cognitive performance training mandated under FM 7-22.
The requirement includes one DART Max Bundle with Maxx Studio and LiveScenarios; three DART Simulators configured for Battalion Detention Elements; three MAX Studio units; four Programmable Laser Training Weapons in M-17 style; one M-17 spare magazine; seven Laser Training Rifles in M4 configuration; and seven M4 spare magazines. Delivery to three locations is required within 30 days of contract award.
The contracting officer justified sole-source award under FAR 16.507-7 (items peculiar to one manufacturer), citing Digimation's proprietary software non-severability, technical data tracking parameters, advanced muzzle-trace analytics, and M4/M17 interoperability. Market research conducted August 1–31, 2026 evaluated Laser Shot, Meggitt/InVeris, and Ti Training but confirmed no alternatives offer compatible portable, multi-lane tactical systems. The contracting officer determined that non-compatible hardware would not synchronize with DART's tracking cameras and proprietary laser wavelength systems. Digimation is located in Lake Mary, Florida.
