TL;DR

This is a 3-5 year contract for (as per the RFP requirements) 100-200+ portable & stationary simulators, 500+ recoil kits, threat-fire devices, and likely warranties as well. My estimated value for this quantity of items is in the $20M+ range. There are currently no details on the actual contract value nor delivery dates at this time.

"As a result of the number of potential training sites, coupled with the
modes of transportation needed to move portable simulation training
units from one location to another, there is a need for both the portable units (i.e., hundreds for use in smaller remote locations), to needing permanent simulation systems (i.e., ~one hundred for larger detachments, urban centers, etc.)."
