Counter Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (C-UUV) Defeat TechnologiesThe Department of Homeland Security, through the Office of Contract Operations within the U.S. Coast Guard, is seeking innovative solutions to counter emerging threats posed by uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) through the solicitation titled Counter Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (C-UUV) Defeat Technologies. With UUVs becoming more accessible and capable, they are increasingly exploited for covert intelligence collection, infrastructure sabotage, smuggling, and direct kinetic attacks, presenting significant challenges to maritime security due to their stealth and advanced navigation systems. Current detection technologies exist, but there is a critical gap in tested, fielded defeat mechanisms that can effectively neutralize these threats once identified, making the development and integration of reliable C-UUV defeat systems essential to enhancing maritime domain dominance, port security, and the protection of critical underwater infrastructure. This sources-sought notice, issued under NAICS code 928110 and identified by solicitation number 70Z02326RFI0005, invites industry and research entities to submit capabilities that can detect, track, and actively defeat hostile UUVs. The response deadline is August 7, 2026, and proposals must align with operational needs in environments such as New London, Connecticut, a key location for maritime security operations. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Kiemisha Sweetney of the U.S. Coast Guard, reachable at smb-comdt-coco31acquisitions@uscg.mil. The initiative reflects an urgent national priority to close capability gaps in undersea defense and ensure a robust, layered response to asymmetric underwater threats before they can cause harm to national security assets or civilian infrastructure.

EMSEPP RFIThe Department of Defense, through its Chief Information Officer and the Electromagnetic Spectrum Office, is seeking input to modernize strategic oversight of the electromagnetic spectrum under statutory authority derived from Title 10 U.S.C. The initiative aims to ensure the armed forces maintain assured domestic spectrum access to defend the homeland, conduct overseas operations, and conduct training, while also aligning with national economic objectives and congressional directives that demand rapid progress. The Department must balance critical national security requirements with growing demands for spectrum access driven by emerging missions and presidential initiatives, necessitating a comprehensive and adaptive approach to spectrum management across federal and industry partners. This Request for Information, designated as EMSEPP RFI and issued under solicitation number DoDCIOEMSEPPRFI, was posted on July 16, 2026, with responses due by August 4, 2026. Managed by Washington Headquarters Services under the Department of Defense, the effort is centered in Washington, D.C., and seeks input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders to inform future capabilities, policies, and investments. Leanne Condren serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries, and while no NAICS code or set-aside designation is specified, the solicitation is classified as sources-sought, indicating the Department is gathering market intelligence to shape subsequent procurement or policy actions without making a formal commitment to award a contract at this stage.

Public Works and Government Services Canada is issuing a Call for Proposals under the POINT initiative to advance and acquire innovative solutions for the Sentinel Shield challenge, focused on wide-area detection and early warning against uncrewed aerial systems. The initiative targets technology solutions that have reached Technology Readiness Level 5 and are ready to advance to TRL 6 or higher, with procurement structured in two distinct phases: Phase 1 — Build & Test, and Phase 2 — Acquisition. Only Canadian suppliers are eligible to respond, and the requirement is excluded from all international trade agreements under Canada’s Policy on Prioritizing Canadian Suppliers and Canadian Content. Phase 1 has a total estimated budget of $10,000,000 available across multiple contracts, with each individual contract capped at $1,000,000, excluding taxes, travel, living, and shipping costs. Phase 2 has a maximum budget of $20,000,000 for the acquisition of sufficient units to cover up to 27 sites, each requiring a minimum 10 km radius of coverage. The solicitation period closes on June 24, 2026, at 2:00 pm EDT, and all proposals must be submitted exclusively through the Defence Innovation Portal. Proposals must be organized into three sections — Technical Offer, Financial Offer, and Offeror Declaration and Certification Forms — and submitted in Canadian dollars. Evaluation will occur in two stages: first, a pass/fail screening against mandatory criteria, followed by a point-rated evaluation where Alignment of Desired Outcomes carries 71.25% weight, Canadian Value Added 25%, and Additional Technical Features 3.75%. The top 20 highest-rated proposals from Phase 1 will move to a non-scored Strategic Decision Parameters review, assessing Disruptor Potential, Growth Potential, Integration Feasibility within DND/CAF, and compliance with human factors requirements. The award will be made to the compliant offer with the lowest evaluated cost per site per combined ratings point, with Canadian Value Added as the tiebreaker. Ownership of the solution remains with the contractor during Phase 1, including responsibility for operations, maintenance, repairs, and return shipping. Upon acquisition in Phase 2, Canada will own all intellectual property rights related to reproduction, modification, or translation of the foreground and background information tied to the manufactured component. Contractors must establish an accounting system to enable auditability, comply with stringent security protocols including the Security Requirements Check List
