Description
Headquarters, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Modelling & Simulation (M&S) Proof of Concepts: Centralized Data and Exercise Control (EXCON)-Simulation Automation for Multi-Domain Operations (MDO).
The increasing complexity of MDO requires enhanced interoperability, automation, and data coherence across NATO Computer Assisted Exercises (CAX), Computer Assisted Wargames (CAW), and Computer Assisted Analysis (CAA). Current processes supporting exercise scripting, simulation execution, and data preparation are fragmented, simulation-specific, and heavily dependent on manual intervention.
To address these issues, the RFP establishes two complementary but separable capability development efforts: 1) automation between EXCON toolsets and simulation systems and 2) development of a centralized, common agreed dataset for NATO simulation systems. While technically distinct and awardable separately, both efforts contribute to a common objective: enabling simulation-agnostic automation and standardized, reusable data foundations to support NATO MDO-driven events.
Prospective bidders should seek clarification at their earliest convenience. Any explanation regarding the meaning or interpretation of this RFP, terms, clauses, provisions or specifications, shall be requested in writing, from the Contracting Office. All Contracting Officers listed on this RFP must receive such requests via email for clarification no later than 30 March 2026.
Bids shall be received at HQ SACT, Purchasing and Contracting Office, no later than 13 April 2026, 0900 hours EDT. No bids shall be accepted after this date and time. No hard copy proposals will be accepted. Please see attachment for more details.
Period of Performance: Contract award to December 2026.

FAQ
How do I use the Market Snapshot?
It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.
Is the data live?
The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.
What do P10 and P90 mean?
P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
