AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground, acting on behalf of Headquarters Department of the Army G-4, is seeking innovative passive radio frequency identification (pRFID) solutions under Call for Solutions HQDA-G-44_26_01 to enhance automated asset visibility and accountability across logistical operations. The initiative, Project GAVELS, addresses critical gaps in current manual inventory processes that are labor-intensive, error-prone, and unsuitable for high-tempo or disconnected environments. The Army requires a scalable, standards-based system compliant with EPC Class 1 Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63) that can operate effectively in Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) network conditions, integrating seamlessly with existing Army logistics infrastructure while enforcing stringent cybersecurity standards such as FedRAMP High or DoD IL5/IL6 authorization. The solution must include Item Unique Identification (IUID) via 2D data matrix encoding, support store-and-forward data capabilities, and demonstrate resilience under harsh physical conditions including exposure to metal-rich environments and extreme weather. Submission of proposals is governed by specific technical and procedural requirements outlined in a Solution Brief limited to eleven pages or fifteen slides, with mandatory inclusion of an executive summary, technology concept, company viability summary, and detailed OCI mitigation analysis if applicable. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, and compliance with the Trade Agreements Act is required for all hardware. The solicitation operates under DFARS 212.70, which allows for Other Transaction authority and excludes standard FAR clauses; awards are based on best value trade-offs prioritizing technical merit, followed by schedule and viability, with price not being the primary factor. The deadline for Solution Briefs was extended to July 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET, with amendments providing updated guidance and responses to industry inquiries. Proposals must be submitted electronically through SAM.gov, and while no contract value has been disclosed, the Government reserves the right to make multiple, single, or no awards, and may advance directly to later phases without Phase 2 if funding permits. All submissions are subject to evaluation by Army G-4 personnel, and winners must maintain SAM registration and comply with all cybersecurity, data sovereignty, and operational integrity standards throughout any subsequent performance period.

Project GAVELS – Global Accountability Visibility Enhanced Logistics Solution
The Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) on behalf of the Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA), G-4, is seeking innovative solutions for scalable passive radio frequency identification (pRFID) capabilities for automated data capture in support of logistical asset visibility and accountability.
The Army faces a significant challenge in achieving automated, accurate, and resilient asset visibility and accountability across its logistics operations. Current processes for property accountability and inventory management rely heavily on manual, line-of-sight methods such as hand-scanning, visual verification, and paper-based reconciliation. These approaches are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and susceptible to human error, which undermines the accuracy and timeliness of tracking organizational property, vehicles, sensitive items, and associated data, especially during high operational tempo or periodic inventories. Existing commercial passive radio frequency identification (pRFID) solutions often do not meet Army requirements for cybersecurity, data sovereignty, and operational reliability.
The objective of this Call for Solution is to identify and validate a scalable, standards-based pRFID solution that can deliver automated asset visibility and accountability across a range of operational environments, including those with limited to no connectivity. The Army seeks a solution that is operationally effective, cyber-compliant, scalable, and capable of integrating with existing Army logistics systems. Addressing this gap is essential to improving inventory accuracy, reducing manual workload, and ensuring mission readiness in both garrison and tactical settings.

The deadline to submit questions for Phase 1 is 20 July 2026, 1000 ET. The following shall be used in the email subject line: “Call for Solution -- HQDA_G-44_26_01”
