ORCHESTRA Commercial Solutions Opportunities Commercial Services for Instrumentation Management Office (IMO)

The U.S. Army, through the Instrumentation Management Office (IMO) under the Army Contracting Command – Orlando, is conducting market research via a Request for Information to establish a commercial solutions opportunity titled ORCHESTRA, designed to modernize its test and evaluation enterprise. This initiative seeks to identify qualified commercial entities capable of delivering a broad spectrum of technologies and services under FAR Part 12 commercial procurement processes, with the intent to structure a multiple-award IDIQ contract vehicle for rapid, agile acquisition of solutions. The scope encompasses four primary areas: enterprise test infrastructure including commercial networking hardware, COTS sensors, data acquisition systems, and industrial test equipment such as environmental chambers and simulators; commercial technology integration and sustainment with open architecture principles, logistics, calibration, and technology refresh; commercial engineering and technical services covering systems engineering, training development, and test support; and agile program execution requiring the ability to deliver Firm-Fixed-Price proposals for complex tasks within seven calendar days or less, using commercial best practices in program management and risk mitigation. Responses must be submitted in PDF format, not exceeding eight pages, and must include a cover page with the company name, address, point of contact, CAGE code, and business size standard. Proposers are required to demonstrate commerciality by showing their products or services are routinely used in the private sector, sold competitively at catalog or market prices, and require only minor modifications for government use. They must also confirm whether a seven-day proposal turnaround is standard business practice and detail their internal processes to achieve it. A capability matrix is needed to show how the company can fulfill all specified scope areas, with subcontracting or teaming arrangements allowed to cover gaps. Evidence of prime experience managing a single-award IDIQ with multiple concurrent task orders and diverse commercial portfolios is also requested. All submissions must clearly mark any proprietary or sensitive information, and responses are due by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on June 26, 2026, via email to the designated contracting points of contact. This RFI is strictly for planning purposes, does not lead to an immediate contract award, and no reimbursement will be provided for response preparation costs. The place of performance is Orlando, Florida, and the NAICS code for the opportunity is 541330, reflecting an emphasis on engineering services.
