Full Description

Show more

Space Systems Command (SSC) is seeking information on how interested industry partners and a Consortium Manager (CM) could design, engineer, evaluate, and validate a secure, multi-node, multi-vendor continuous software development and delivery architecture. The Government is evaluating the feasibility of executing a No-Funds-Obligated (No-Cost) Prototype Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. § 4022.


The primary technical objective of this prototype project is to test the viability of connecting commercially owned and operated secure facility nodes directly to secure Government cloud environments to enable scalable, secure DevSecOps pipelines.

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

RF Architectures Applying Photonic Timing and Routing (RAAPTR)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-126
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking innovative proposals under the Radiofrequency (RF) Architectures Applying Photonic Timing and Routing (RAAPTR) program to develop advanced RF systems that leverage optical timing precision for deployment on compact, mobile land, air, and space-based defense platforms. The program demands revolutionary advances in vibration-hardened, ultra-low phase noise photonic oscillators and associated analog and mixed-signal components, with a strict exclusion of non-optical microwave generation methods or evolutionary improvements to existing technology. Proposals must enable system architectures that maintain phase noise below -120 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz offset and -150 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset for a 10 GHz carrier, achieve relative timing error under 1 picosecond over 1–100 second intervals, operate within a volume constraint of 300 cc, and sustain performance across environmental extremes of -40 to 85°C and 7.7 gm vibration. The effort spans a 42-month, two-phase timeline, with Phase 1 focused on component development and architecture design, culminating in a brassboard prototype and an on-platform demonstration. Key deliverables include photonic oscillators, breadboard and brassboard prototypes, detailed digital signal processing algorithms, and environmental packaging compliant with MIL-STD-883-2, Method 2026, Test Condition I/B. This procurement is conducted as an Other Transaction (OT) agreement under 10 U.S.C. § 4022, bypassing traditional FAR clauses in favor of contractual articles governing term, management, administration, payment, patent and data rights, foreign access to technology, cybersecurity, and public dissemination. All proposals must be submitted via the BAAT portal and include mandatory attachments: a technical and management volume (Volume I), a price volume (Volume II) using the DARPA Price Summary Spreadsheet, a Task Description Document, a Schedule of Milestones and Payments, and the Other Transaction Certification. Full proposals require an Execution Plan Oral Proposal presentation and a CUI Addendum request by the August 24, 2026 deadline. Financially, the total program funding is $58 million, expected to be distributed among three to five awards, with payments tied to milestone completions verified through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system. Proposers must certify compliance with SAM.gov requirements, including Unique Entity ID and CAGE code validation,
