PEO-M Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Poseidon's Fury Collaboration Event (CE)

Solicitation # PEO_M_USV_Poseidon_s_Fury_CE

SOFWERX and the USSOCOM Program Executive Office Maritime (PEO-M) are hosting the Poseidon’s Fury Collaboration Event to accelerate the development of the Unmanned Surface Vehicle Mission-Aligned Reference Architecture (MARA), a standards-based framework designed to improve interoperability across Joint Force manned and unmanned maritime systems while eliminating redundant, service-specific platform development. This initiative is open exclusively to U.S. persons and involves a two-phase process beginning with a virtual collaboration event on August 26, 2026, where SOF operators and industry partners will engage in breakout sessions to define operational needs around user interface, autonomy, command and control, and platform effectiveness. Participation in this event is optional but strongly encouraged to align solutions with warfighter requirements, with registration closing August 14, 2026. Those who do not attend the CE may still submit capabilities for consideration during the Assessment Event, which opens on September 14, 2026, and closes October 2, 2026. A virtual Q&A session is available on September 23 for clarification on technical expectations. Selected submissions will undergo a downselect process, with winners invited to participate in a comprehensive on-water Assessment Event at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, between November 2 and 20, 2026. Participants must demonstrate their USV capabilities in real-world conditions, with evaluations conducted by Subject Matter Experts from USSOCOM, JHU APL, WARCOM, and MARSOC using predefined technical and operational criteria. Successful performers may be transitioned to Phase 5, where potential pathways for follow-on acquisition include Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs) under 10 U.S.C. §4022, research agreements under 15 U.S.C. §3715, cooperative R&D agreements, experimental procurement under §4023, or prize competitions—potentially leading to non-competitive production awards based on successful prototype outcomes. All awardees must comply with NIST SP 800-171 for securing Controlled Unclassified Information, and eligibility is limited to U.S. persons and organizations capable of supporting USSOCOM’s unique maritime missions.

Evaluating Improved Knee-Save device in Deep Squatting Tasks

Solicitation # 75D301-26-Q-79163

Osteoarthritis, particularly of the knee, affects millions of adults in the United States, with prevalence rising among older workers and those engaged in occupations requiring prolonged high knee flexion, such as roofing, construction, and retail stocking. Occupations involving at least 30 minutes daily of deep squatting or kneeling have been linked to a 122% to 240% increase in knee OA incidence compared to average workers, a trend expected to worsen as the workforce ages. Knee savers, currently used in some industries to enhance comfort during these tasks, lack biomechanical validation and are offered in one-size-fits-all designs that do not account for individual differences in body size or range of motion, limiting their effectiveness. To address this gap, the CDC’s Office of Acquisition Services, through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, is seeking contractor support under solicitation 75D301-26-Q-79163 to generate experimental human biomechanical data on deep squatting tasks performed with and without improved knee-saver devices. The goal is to develop and validate a biomechanical model that can guide the design of more effective, personalized knee-saver systems to reduce knee joint loading and mitigate OA risk among workers. The contractor will conduct a series of controlled tests on multiple knee-saver prototypes, collecting data on musculoskeletal loads in the knee and spine during squatting motions. This data will be critical for informing future design improvements and is required under a contract with a response deadline of August 10, 2026, managed by the Department of Health and Human Services in Atlanta, Georgia.

Orion Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD)

Solicitation # 2099CE26Q00002

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration intends to procure the Orion Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD) from Research Electronics International, LLC, on a sole source basis because it is the exclusive manufacturer and developer of this specialized device. The Orion NLJD is a hand-held instrument designed to detect hidden electronic surveillance devices—such as cameras and microphones—regardless of whether they are powered on, wired, or transmitting, by identifying semiconductor components embedded in walls, furniture, or other surfaces. The system features a wide transmit signal in the 2.4GHz or 900 MHz bands, digitally modulated and correlated harmonic detection to minimize false positives, agile frequency functionality, pulsing with digital signal processing, and an integrated transceiver and antenna with a telescopic pole for rapid deployment. It includes a handle-mounted touchscreen, a line-of-sight display showing transmit and harmonic levels, camcorder-style batteries for easy replacement, water resistance, and a lightweight design weighing under 3.6 pounds, with setup time under 30 seconds. No other product on the market offers the same combination of patented technology and operational capabilities. There is no formal solicitation available, and the procurement falls below the simplified acquisition threshold with no defined period of performance. The Treasury Common Services Center will accept written responses from qualified contractors until August 7, 2026, submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov with the reference SS-TGT-26-048. Submitters must provide their company name, UEI number, contact details, business size classification, a description of their product matching the required specifications, availability through government contract vehicles or open market, and a capabilities statement not exceeding five pages. Acceptable file formats exclude executable, compressed, or script files, allowing only Microsoft Office and Adobe-compatible documents. If no response demonstrates a capable, more advantageous alternative to REI’s Orion NLJD by the deadline, the award will be made directly to Research Electronics International without competition.

MARSOC: Automated Armory Collaboration Event (CE)

Solicitation # MARSOC_Automated_Armory_CE

MARSOC, in partnership with SOFWERX, is inviting U.S. industry, academia, and national laboratories to collaboratively develop a revolutionary automated armory system that eliminates manual inventory processes through a fully passive, image-based tracking solution. The initiative targets the modernization of serialized weapon and equipment accountability by replacing paper logs, handwritten forms, and RFID or radio-frequency systems with secure optical recognition and computer vision technologies. Participants are challenged to design a system that authenticates users via CAC, automatically logs equipment issuance and recovery through photographic scans, tracks item locations, and maintains tamper-proof audit trails—all without emitting any RF signals to preserve operational security. The effort is driven by the need to reduce human error, minimize administrative burden, and ensure absolute accountability in high-stakes special operations environments. The collaboration unfolds in stages: first, a mandatory submission deadline of 16 August 2026 for attendance at the in-person Collaboration Event on 17 September 2026 at SOFWERX in Florida, where stakeholders will engage directly with warfighters to refine requirements. Those unable to attend may still submit solutions by 20 October 2026 for the Assessment Event, which includes a virtual Q&A on 3 November and a downselect by 1 December. Finalists will present live demonstrations during the Assessment Event from 15 to 17 December 2026, with top-performing solutions potentially entering into non-traditional agreements under 10 U.S.C. Sections 4021, 4022, or other alternative contracting authorities such as OTAs, CRADAs, or prize competitions. Selected participants must comply with NIST SP 800-171 for handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Only U.S. persons and U.S. industry entities are eligible to participate, and success in this event may lead directly to follow-on production agreements without additional competition.
