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

Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST)

Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-159

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is soliciting innovative proposals under the Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST) program to revolutionize sleep health through objective, home-based, closed-loop technologies that detect and respond to sleep microstructures in real time. The program aims to reduce by at least 50% the 10-year risk of chronic diseases linked to poor sleep—including dementia, depression, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes—by developing validated systems that measure, diagnose, and treat sleep dysfunction with precision. The technical scope is divided into two areas: Technical Area 1 (TA1) focuses on creating in-home systems for objective measurement and mechanistic classification of poor sleep using physiological signals, while Technical Area 2 (TA2) targets the development of integrated, noninvasive, closed-loop interventions that adapt in real time to individual sleep physiology to improve outcomes. The program is structured into three phased milestones over 66 months—Prove Tech (24 months), Proof-of-Concept (18 months), and Translation (24 months)—with specific technical benchmarks including AUC thresholds for insomnia diagnosis, sensitivity/specificity targets for sleep classification, and Pearson correlation standards for fidelity to polysomnography. Key milestones include IRB approvals by month 3, human subject enrollment by month 12, technology validation and FDA submissions by month 39, and final site visits and demonstrations between months 63 and 66. Proposals must be submitted in two stages: a Solution Summary, due by August 12, 2026, at 12pm ET, and a Full Proposal for those invited to proceed. The Solution Summary must be submitted via https://solutions.arpa-h.gov/events, adhere to strict formatting rules including 12-point Avenir Next LT Pro font, and comply with page limits of six pages for single TA or eight pages for both TAs, excluding cover pages, basis of estimate, cost share strategy, and citations. Only invited proposers may submit a Full Proposal, which includes an in-person pitch—45 minutes for one TA or 60 minutes for both—and supporting documentation divided into five volumes: a four-page Technical Proposal, an unrestricted Cost/Price Proposal, a two-page Human or Animal Subjects Research section, a Data Management and Security Plan, and up to five pages of qualifications per key personnel. Evaluation is based on scientific and technical merit, feasibility, innovation, proposer capability, and budget
