BACKGROUND: The Selective Service System (SSS), established under the Military Selective Service Act (MSSA), 50 USC 3801 et seq., is responsible for maintaining a system that can rapidly furnish manpower to the Department of Defense during national emergencies, while ensuring fairness, justice, and operational readiness.

SSS executes its statutory mission through six (6) Mission Essential Functions (MEFs): Registration, Selection, Notification, Delivery, Classification, and the Alternative Service Program (ASP).

The Contractor shall design, develop, validate, document, and deliver a Government-owned readiness simulation (RS) that: 1) Models the full end-to-end SSS mobilization pipeline 2) Supports configurable scenarios 3) Provides decision-support analytics necessary for leadership, planners, and operators.

4) Operates within an SSS-designated cloud environment 5) Uses anonymized aggregate data 6) Supports complete Government ownership and sustainment.

Vendors shall review the RFQ Package in its entirety and provide any questions they have for Government responses by 2:00 PM EST on 28 July 2026.

Final RFQ submissions are due by 2:00 PM EST on 14 August 2026.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
