Ruggedization of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Equipment

The contract seeks to modify and ruggedize commercial off-the-shelf communications devices and sensors for use in special operations forces environments by enhancing their durability and resilience under extreme conditions. This includes performing environmental testing to ensure performance under harsh temperatures, humidity, dust, shock, vibration, and other combat-relevant stressors. The goal is to adapt commercially available hardware to meet rigorous military operational standards without compromising functionality or reliability. All modifications must be scalable and maintainable in the field, ensuring prolonged service life and mission readiness under demanding scenarios. Work under this subcontract is to be performed at Orlando, Florida, with a response deadline of July 17, 2026. It falls under NAICS code 334511 for communications equipment manufacturing and is issued by the Department of Defense through W6QK Acc-Orlando. The contract does not specify a set-aside type or point of contact, and interested parties must submit proposals prior to the deadline to be considered for award. All deliverables must demonstrate proven ruggedization techniques that meet or exceed operational requirements for SOF missions.
