Innovative Solutions for System Safety Evaluation

The Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground, on behalf of the Army Test and Evaluation Command, is seeking innovative technical solutions through Call for Solutions ATEC_26_01 to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of system safety evaluation processes, particularly by automating the synthesis of unstructured data from hundreds of annual evaluations. The goal is to develop a scalable platform capable of ingesting and analyzing 5 to 20 documents per evaluation, identifying credible hazards, and reducing false positives while operating securely within the Army’s Impact Level 5 Controlled Unclassified Information environment. Offerors must submit a white paper no longer than ten pages total, including a one-page title page, one-page executive summary, and an eight-page high-level solution, with additional unrestricted attachments required for intellectual property disclosures and organizational conflict of interest analyses. Proposals must be submitted by May 8, 2026, via email with the specified subject line, and include a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE code from SAM.gov registration. No cost or pricing details are required at this stage, and offerors will not be compensated for participation. Evaluation is based solely on technical merit and the solution’s viability within the Army’s secured information infrastructure, with no set-asides for small or socioeconomic businesses. The solicitation is conducted under the Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-A002 and follows non-traditional procurement authority, potentially leading to a future contract or commercial solutions opening after a Phase 2 proof-of-concept phase. Compliance with MIL-STD-882E, AR 385-10, DA PAMs 385-16 and 385-30, and cybersecurity standards including CMMC and Authority to Operate requirements is mandatory, and all non-government advisors must be covered by signed NDAs submitted with the proposal. The place of performance is Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and no physical packaging, preservation, or marking requirements apply, as the focus is entirely on digital system safety and cybersecurity integration.
