The U.S. Selective Service System (SSS), the independent agency maintaining draft registration lists for men aged 18-25 and a health-care skills database, has issued a request for quotes (RFQ) for readiness simulation software. The software is intended to help SSS evaluate staffing and resource requirements, model the end-to-end mobilization pipeline, support configurable scenarios, provide decision-support analytics, and operate in a cloud environment using anonymized data. The procurement comes ahead of a December 18, 2026 deadline when SSS will shift from requiring male registrants to self-register to automatically registering them via federal databases. Quotes are due by August 14, 2026, with questions due by July 28. The move signals preparation for potential draft reinstatement scenarios, though the U.S. military remains all-volunteer.
