The U.S. Army Research, Development & Engineering Command Contracting Center (RDECOMCC) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, intends to release a solicitation on or about 20 July 2009 for High Rate Strain Testing. This effort is for high strain rate testing of armor ceramics and low density materials. The objective is to determine 'dynamic hardness' of ceramic materials and to evaluate the stress-strain response of the materials at high strain rates. This information will be used to identify which ceramic materials work best against specific threats and to develop a better engineered helmet and personal protective equipment.

Solicitation # W15P7T-27-R-DIGIF
The Product Manager Wideband Enterprise Satellite Systems (PdM WESS), through the Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground, is seeking a commercial-off-the-shelf Digital Intermediate Frequency Subsystem (DIFS) to modernize satellite communications ground infrastructure. The objective is to replace legacy analog L-Band systems with a flexible, open-standard, modular architecture compliant with the DIFI standard to enhance resilience and interoperability. The selected vendor will be responsible for the delivery, integration, installation, and acceptance testing of the system across up to twenty worldwide SATCOM teleport sites. Key technical requirements include high availability of at least 0.9998, a 15-year service life, a mean time to repair of 30 minutes or less, and adherence to military standards such as MIL-STD-188-164C, MIL-STD-461G, and MIL-STD-810H. The acquisition process is conducted under the Army Open Solicitation (AOS) and follows a three-step selection method: the submission of solution briefs by December 10, 2026, followed by pitch sessions and technical demonstrations at Fort Belvoir, and concluding with a formal proposal submission. The primary deliverable is a Full-Scale Engineering Development DIFS first article, with subsequent options for production units. The government intends to award one FAR Part 12 commercial contract, with the possibility of additional Other Transaction Authority awards, with an estimated award timeline in the first quarter of 2027. Evaluation will focus on technical merit, maturity of the offering, and the vendor's ability to sustain the capability globally.
