In one fell swoop, the United States Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) awarded over 140 contracts valued at $17.5 billion late last month.
The Simulation and Training Omnibus Contract (STOC II) is meant to serve as contracting vehicle with a life of ten years to quickly procure S&T technology for U.S. and coalition service members. “The overall purpose of STOC II is to have highly-qualified contractors on-hand to rapidly satisfy the needs of our nation’s Warfighters,” explained Brian Murphy, the PEO STRI contracting officer responsible for STOC II in a statement.
