Army Contracting Command – Red River Army Depot (ACC-RRAD) Organic Industrial Base (OIB) Modernization Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Solicitation # W911RQ-26-S-C001
The U.S. Army, through the Army Contracting Command – Red River Army Depot, is pursuing the modernization of its Organic Industrial Base under Commercial Solutions Opening W911RQ-26-S-C001, a flexible procurement initiative authorized under DFARS Subpart 212.70 and administered under FAR Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures. This effort is aligned with the Army’s strategic focus on Convergent Manufacturing, integrating advanced technologies such as digital twin, automation, connected digital enterprise, and cybersecurity to enhance producibility, sustainment, and logistics capabilities. The solicitation invites innovative commercial solutions across multiple areas of interest including automated media blast systems, camera monitoring for vehicle test tracks, power pack interface and test sets, AS9100 certification support, track pin and bushing manufacturing, and fixture removal for Bradley Fighting Vehicle hulls. Each area of interest is evaluated independently with specific submission deadlines, and all responses must be submitted electronically via email in two separate volumes: a technical proposal excluding cost data and a price proposal with full cost breakdowns, including labor rates, material quotes, and overhead. Offers must be unclassified, submitted through SAM.gov-registered entities with a Unique Entity ID, and adhere to strict formatting rules including a maximum of five pages or fifteen slides for initial solution briefs. Evaluation of proposals prioritizes technical merit and feasibility, followed by industrial base impact, speed and scalability of implementation, price fairness and reasonableness, private investment leverage, and a credible transition plan to full production. The government will use a trade-off approach rather than lowest price technically acceptable, with no numerical weights assigned but clear emphasis on non-price factors. Awards are contingent upon funding availability, successful negotiation, and technical validation, and do not obligate the government to proceed with any contract until formal award. Performance is expected to occur at Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, Texas, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the government at that location per MIL-DTL-11891, MIL-STD-1907, ASTM, and other referenced standards covering material quality, inspection, and manufacturing processes. Contractors must register in Wide Area Work Flow for invoicing, and proposals must comply with secure-by-design principles and modular open systems architecture requirements. No contract clauses, special requirements, or detailed packaging and marking specifications are provided in the solicitation, leaving these to be defined during contract negotiation post-selection. All submissions must be received by 5:00 P.M. CDT on their respective

The contract seeks Unmanned Maritime Systems (UMS) Support Services under a Request for Proposal issued by NOAA’s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations through the Eastern Acquisition Division in Norfolk, Virginia. The performance period spans five years, from September 25, 2026, through September 24, 2031, with an option to extend services by up to six months. The scope requires operating UMS platforms to collect environmental data—including atmospheric and oceanographic parameters such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, bathymetry, and trace gases—both within and beyond the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Deliverables include validated data packets with at least 95% integrity, high-resolution imaging and bathymetric datasets, and full metadata compliance, all considered government property. Performance metrics mandate 98% system uptime, strict adherence to COLREGs navigation rules, and successful integration of sensors per NOAA protocols. The contract includes fixed-price components for mobilization/demobilization and Non-Recurring Engineering across five annual periods, totaling approximately $6.26 million in fixed costs, with a ceiling value of $74.9 million for all task orders combined, primarily driven by daily rates for missions, transit, and weather standby that are priced at the task order level. Data transmission must comply with NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 and FIPS 140-2/140-3 encryption standards, and all activities must follow NOAA Protected Species mitigation guidelines and Federal, State, and local regulations.
