Request for Information (RFI) for Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Collective Training Software (VCTS) Solution
1. PURPOSE
This announcement constitutes an RFI notice for planning purposes. This is NOT a Request for Solution (RFS). No solicitation documents exist at this time.

Please NOTE, this VCTS effort is a new effort name and was previously identified as the Training Simulation Software & Training Management Tool (TSS/TMT) effort, targeted for RFS posting in 3QFY26.

• Identify technical maturity (with an objective preference for Training Readiness Level (TRL) 8 or near-TRL 8 solutions), integration feasibility, scalability, and the vendor-s production and procurement capability to support fielding and sustainment
• Validate, refine, and assess the feasibility of the Army-s requirements and underlying assumptions before release of a formal RFS
This RFI does not constitute a request for proposal and does not commit the Government to any acquisition.
