Resilience and Sustainment Under Degraded Conditions

The contract seeks technologies capable of maintaining operational continuity, logistics sustainment, and system resilience under conditions where critical infrastructure such as power, communications, and supply chains are disrupted or degraded. Solutions must be engineered to function reliably in austere environments where conventional support systems may be unavailable or compromised, with an emphasis on adaptability, redundancy, and self-sufficiency. The focus is on enabling uninterrupted mission performance across military and defense operations when faced with environmental, adversarial, or systemic failures in essential utilities and communication networks. Submitted proposals must align with NAICS code 335999 for other electrical equipment and component manufacturing, indicating a preference for hardware-based or integrated technological systems rather than purely software or service offerings. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Defense under the Department of Defense, with the place of performance centered in Phoenix. Responses are due by May 8, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., and while no specific set-aside designation is listed, all applicants must demonstrate technical feasibility, proven performance in degraded conditions, and the capacity to deliver scalable, field-deployable solutions compatible with existing defense logistics frameworks.
