NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE – Equipment Maintenance Contract for Flash X-ray Systems and Computed Radiography Systems
Solicitation # W911QX26RA031
The United States Government intends to award a sole-source, five-year Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity contract to FISICA Applied Technologies, Inc. for continued support of Government-owned FISICA Flash X-ray Systems and Computed Radiography Systems. This includes the supply of Original Equipment Manufacturer replacement parts, maintenance, repair, refurbishment, calibration, upgrades, modifications, installation, certification, and related engineering services. FISICA Applied Technologies is the only responsible source capable of meeting these requirements because it holds the proprietary technical data, engineering specifications, and intellectual property necessary to support the systems, and any alternative source would necessitate costly reverse engineering or equipment replacement, leading to significant delays and increased expenses that would undermine mission readiness. The contract will be awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1, which permit sole-source procurement when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services can satisfy agency needs. All orders under the contract will be issued on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, any responsible source may submit a capability statement or quotation by the deadline of August 12, 2026, to demonstrate its ability to meet the requirements; such submissions will be reviewed solely to determine whether competition is practicable, with the final decision on sole-sourcing remaining at the Government’s discretion. The contracting office is located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and the point of contact for inquiries is Nyshaun Greene, with Eddie Lee Kemp as the secondary contact.

Sources Sought: Call For Technology Independent Verification &Validation (IV&V) 27-1: Spectrum Proof
Solicitation # IVV271
The US Army V Corps, in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit, is conducting an open sources sought for the Spectrum Proof Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) event to identify and evaluate emerging Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) technologies aligned with the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative. The initiative seeks capabilities that enable the U.S. Army and NATO forces to achieve electromagnetic spectrum superiority in dense, contested, and denied environments by providing seamless sensing, identification, targeting, and non-lethal disruption of adversary systems across all echelons. Submissions must demonstrate alignment with five key verticals: Electromagnetic Support and Surveillance, Common Services, Electromagnetic Attack, Sensor-to-Shooter Integration, and Resilience in Degraded Environments. Technologies must be optimized for Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C), support open architectures like MOSA and SOSA, incorporate AI/ML for real-time signal classification and automation, and operate effectively in DDIL (Distributed, Disaggregated, Integrated, Limited) conditions without relying on robust network connectivity. Respondents are required to submit a ten-page whitepaper detailing the technology’s development, operational history, current Technology Readiness Level (TRL), and specific alignment with one or more verticals, along with a single-page technology quad chart that summarizes capability, prior deployments, TRL, and a full technical point of contact. Submissions must be unclassified and properly marked for proprietary or sensitive information. The government will evaluate submissions through a peer review panel of military, industry, and academic experts based on technical merit, mission alignment, and integration potential. Participation in the Spectrum Proof event, scheduled for November 2–6, 2026, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, is not guaranteed, and no costs incurred in response to this sources sought will be reimbursed. There is no obligation to award any contract from this effort, but selected technologies may be invited to participate in a follow-on experimentation event in the EUCOM theater in third quarter fiscal year 2027 under authorities including 10 U.S.C. 4021, 4022, and 3458. Offerors must affirm they are acting solely as technology demonstrators and will not evaluate other submissions to prevent conflicts of interest. Government support contractors with access to proprietary data are bound by strict non-disclosure obligations, and all evaluation results will remain within government control with Letters of Observation issued to participants.
