Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically the NAWC TRAINING SYSTEMS DIV, has issued an Award Notice for a sole source acquisition of Scalable-Modern Air Combat Environment (CAVE) training software licenses and maintenance. This award, valued at $11,576.25, provides a comprehensive virtual combat training environment for three CAVE training sites located in Fallon, NV. The award was made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP).
Scope of Work
The acquisition covers software maintenance for Scalable Display Technologies at multiple locations: NAWDC (Qty 1), EWTGPAC (Qty 1), EWTGLANT Dome (Qty 1), and EWTGLANT 4M 220 Curve (Qty 1). These software licenses and maintenance services are crucial for providing a comprehensive virtual combat training environment, enabling the generation of tactical scenarios and rendering of 3D visuals for the Combined Arms Virtual Environment (CAVE) project.
Contract Details
- Type: Sole Source Award (Simplified Acquisition Procedures)

- Value: $11,576.25
- Award Date: February 25, 2026
- Set-Aside: None (Sole Source Acquisition)
- Product/Service Code: 6910 (Training Aids)
Justification for Sole Source
The sole source justification is based on the unique and proprietary characteristics of the Scalable Display solution, which is exclusively available from Immersive Display Solutions, Inc. Market research confirmed that the required maintenance license is only obtainable from this vendor. Utilizing any other vendor would necessitate a new display solution and significant redesign, leading to increased costs and operational downtime for the government.
Additional Notes
This document serves as a Determination Memorandum justifying the sole source acquisition and is not a solicitation for proposals. The government has no further plans to remove barriers to competition for this specific acquisition.
