The U.S. Army Communication Electronics Command, specifically the Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate, intends to award a Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract for the evaluation of the Force Protection Demining system. This project involves a robotically controlled small tractor utilizing Timed Neutron Detection, electromagnetic induction, and Ground Penetrating Radar to detect buried landmines. The system will further demonstrate mine neutralization through a combination of a novel air ablation system and either a Propellant Torch System or a high power laser for non-detonative clearance. While the agency intends to pursue a non-competitive acquisition with Applied Research Associates, Inc. as the only responsible source, it will consider quotes from other sources capable of delivering similar systems. Interested offerors must demonstrate technical expertise in advanced TND land mine detectors, Propellant Torch Systems, robotic control, and data fusion. Submissions must be limited to five pages and sent via email within 45 calendar days of the notice.

NA The U.S. Army Communication Electronics Command (CECOM), Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Countermine Division intends to initiate a non-competitive acquisition with the Applied Research Associates, Inc., of South Royalton, VT for t he purpose of providing advanced sensor for detecting buried landmines and mine clearing capabilities. The proposed action is for a new Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) type contract for the evaluation of the Force Protection Demining (FPD) system. This system consists of a small tractor, which is robotically controlled (based on existing Air Force ARTS platform ), and uses such sensors as advanced Timed Neutron Detection (TND), electromagnetic induction and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for landmine detection. Neutralization of mines will be demonstrated by a novel air ablation system, which exposes the target and the use of proven Propellant Torch System (PTS) or high power laswer system for non-detonative neutralization. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source and no Othe Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. However, all responsible sources that can provide supporting data to d emonstrate they can successfully deliver the above or similar system for testing and demonstration may submit a quote that shall be considered by the agency. Offerors must possess technical expertise and/or experience building advanced generation TND land mine detector, Propellant Torch System (PST) non-detonative neutralizer, advanced robotic control and data fusion. Responses should be no longer than five (5) pages. The resultant contract will be CPFF. Responses are to be received via email within 45 c alander days of this notice. All requests for further information must be in writing or via email. Telephone requests for additional information will not be honored. You may forward repsonses to the following email address: contact@example.gov. Acknowledgement of receipt will be issued. See Numbered Note 22.

Power Distribution and Illumination Systems, Electrical (PDISE)
Solicitation # W909MY27RA001
The Department of the Army, through the Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground, has issued a Sources Sought and Request for Information for the build-to-print manufacture, assembly, and delivery of Power Distribution and Illumination Systems, Electrical (PDISE). These ruggedized, man-portable systems are designed to connect mobile power generation to mission equipment in harsh tactical environments. The potential requirement focuses on four specific configuration items: the M200 and M100 A/P Feeder Systems, the M40 A/P Distribution System, and the M46 Utility Assembly. All production must strictly adhere to Government Technical Data Packages and military standards, including MIL-DTL-53126 for general specifications, MIL-DTL-53072 for Chemical Agent Resistant Coating, and MIL-DTL-22992 for Class L connectors. The government is utilizing this market research phase to identify qualified large and small business sources under NAICS codes 335999 and 335313. Key areas of interest include industry production capacity, lead times for long-lead materials, and the ability to perform First Article Testing (FAT) within 360 days after contract award. Interested vendors must provide a detailed response by November 6, 2026, including corporate experience, technical capabilities, quality certifications such as ISO 9001:2015 or AS9100D, and Rough Order of Magnitude pricing for quantity ranges between 1 and 200 units. This information will be used to determine the final acquisition strategy and the feasibility of a small business set-aside.
