AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground is seeking industry input for the procurement of portable communications intelligence systems, mast deployment kits, and associated detection software updates under Foreign Military Sales for Ukraine. The requirement calls for 20 units each of two distinct COMINT system models—Model 953-8-649 and Model 957-2-647—both operating across a 20 MHz to 8.5 GHz frequency range and designed for signal search, collection, analysis, and direction finding. Each system includes integrated hardware such as RF and DF processors, GPS receivers, internal battery packs, server and client software, modulation recognition tools, drone detection capabilities, and specialized antennas, all packaged for mobility and rugged field use. The systems must be fully compatible with Ukraine’s existing communications infrastructure, delivered as new and original equipment, and capable of networked operation over low-latency, high-bandwidth TCP/IP channels. Separately, the request includes 20 mast deployment kits for each COMINT model: medium-duty tripods and 6-meter masts for the 953-8-649, and two variants—23-foot and 115-foot mast assemblies—for the 957-2-647 to support vehicle or fixed-site installations. A single software update package is also required, encompassing ongoing detection libraries, drone detection enhancements, and service support. All submissions must include a rough order of magnitude price estimate and demonstrate the vendor’s ability to serve as a single source for both hardware and software delivery. Companies must be SAM-registered, possess a CAGE code and UEI, and comply with Berry Amendment restrictions on specialty metals. Responses are due by July 29, 2026, and must be submitted electronically in Word or PDF format to the designated contract specialist; this notice is strictly for market research and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract.
