NATO Business Opportunity: Next Generation of Modelling and Simulation (NexGen M&S) Program Agile Procurement
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The Department of Commerce, specifically the Bureau of Industry and Security, is initiating a procurement process for the NATO Business Opportunity: Next Generation of Modelling and Simulation (NexGen M&S) program. This program aims to develop a comprehensive M&S solution that will enhance NATO Command Structure capabilities in areas such as Computer Assisted Exercises, Operations Planning, and Operational Analysis, with a focus on providing a Multi-Domain Operations Common Synthetic Environment. The procurement will follow an Agile Procurement process, allowing for the selection of up to five vendors for initial fixed-price demonstrations, with further options awarded through iterative sprints leading to a final contract. Interested vendors must hold NATO or National Facility Security Clearances and submit a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by February 12, 2026, with the Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) expected to be issued on February 16, 2026, and bid closing anticipated by March 19, 2026.
