Applied Training Solutions, LLC

Applied Training Solutions, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, delivers modeling and simulation, training support, exercise design, and software development services to the Department of Defense and select civilian agencies as a prime contractor on 84 of its 95 recent awards (88%). The company operates predominantly under non-set-aside and full-and-open competition, though SDVOSB set-asides recur across definitive contracts and select task orders; it also holds positions on GSA's OASIS+ Total Small Business and OASIS+ SDVOSB multiple-award IDIQs.

Applied Training Solutions' customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense training and readiness. The top five customers by potential value account for 91% of combined value, dominated by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (7 awards, $10 billion combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (4 awards, $1.59 billion). The Federal Aviation Administration holds a single $1 billion blanket purchase agreement (eFAST BPA, awarded February 2022, extending through September 2029). By award count, the Air Force Space Command leads with 15 awards ($153.1 million), the Department of the Army follows with 12 awards ($5.3 million), and the Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation places 10 awards ($379.7 million). Recent representative work includes a $21.6 million definitive contract from Air Force Space Command for risk mitigation modeling and simulation supporting homeland defense exercises (awarded January 2026, ending January 2031); a $7.7 million SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract from Army Reserve Command for Army Continuing Education System (ACES) education support services (awarded May 2025, ending May 2030); a $9.3 million SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract from Army Headquarters for emergency management program management, assessment, and training (awarded October 2024, ending October 2029); and a $5.84 million purchase order from U.S. Special Operations Command for ATSSIM platform licenses and technical support (awarded August 2024).

Applied Training Solutions holds five major vehicle positions. The Mission Training Complex Capabilities Support II (MTCCS II) $975 million multiple-award IDIQ with Army Training and Doctrine Command carries 12 task orders and is scheduled through December 2028. The Training Support Systems Enterprise (TSS-E) $610 million multiple-award IDIQ also with TRADOC extends through July 2028 and anchors operations at over 35 Army installations across CONUS and OCONUS. The Joint Enterprise Contracted Logistics and Services Support Class II (JE-CLASS II) $906.6 million multiple-award IDIQ with the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense runs through January 2027. Under the Enterprise Training Services Contract (ETSC), Applied Training Solutions holds 12 task orders valued at $41.4 million combined, supporting security force assistance, international training partnerships with Latvia and Georgia, and exercise operations. The Federal Aviation Administration eFAST BPA ($1 billion, single-award, through September 2029) provides customized training solutions to a civilian customer. Two GSA OASIS+ vehicles — the Total Small Business IDIQ (awarded December 2024, through December 2029, multiple award) and the SDVOSB IDIQ (awarded September 2024, through September 2029, multiple award) — supply governmentwide access to integrated professional services across management, technical, research, intelligence, environmental, facilities, and logistics domains. Applied Training Solutions also holds the Live Training, Ranges and Combat Training Centers (LTRaC 2) $344.1 million single-award contract with the Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation for live fire training systems, target lifters, and digitized range instrumentation worldwide, awarded November 2024 through November 2032. A recently awarded Missile Defense Agency SHIELD IDIQ ($151 billion multiple-award ceiling, full and open competition, January 2026 through December 2035) positions the company to bid on research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, and production supporting air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat defense.

Award volume grew from 4 in 2022 to 16 in 2023 and 14 in 2024, then declined to 1 in 2025 and 3 in 2026 — the recent slowdown reflects the high proportion of large-ceiling IDVs (SHIELD, OASIS+ vehicles) where awards are the parent vehicle itself rather than frequently issued task orders. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $15.97 billion; only $108.7 million (1% of potential value) has been obligated to date, reflecting the early maturity of recently awarded IDVs and the gap between vehicle ceilings and actual draw-down. Four awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $4.5 million — a modest recompete exposure relative to the portfolio's overall volume.

Applied Training Solutions operates predominantly as a prime (88% of awards) and rarely subcontracts; across SCI-reportable service contracts, the company performed 100% of contractor hours on prime records, indicating little reliance on named subcontractors for delivery. On the sub side, Applied Training Solutions delivers training support and technical services to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on III Corps Mission Training Complex training support services (modifications dated August and March 2023) and to CSA Global LLC on Navy information technology branch training delivery (award date April 2023). The sub footprint is narrow and episodic rather than structural.

NAICS category concentration is distributed across educational support, professional services, and custom programming: Educational Support Services account for 20 awards, Professional Scientific and Technical Services for 21 awards, and Custom Computer Programming Services for 18 awards, indicating breadth in capability packaging across the training, simulation, and IT service domains. Primary Service Contract Inventory reporting, limited to 10 records above the $150,000 threshold across FY2022–FY2024, shows $1.2 million invoiced in FY2024 at a median government-paid rate of $455.60 per hour; FTE delivery on SCI-reportable contracts ran 13.6 FTEs in FY2024 (1 prime record, 3 sub records). The minimal SCI footprint reflects the company's heavy concentration on large fixed-price development and vehicle awards rather than labor-hour service contracts.
