The U.S. Army Research Laboratory, under the Department of Defense and operated by the W6QK Acc-Apg Adelphi office, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice (W911QX26QA098) to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying a fully integrated Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC) system and ancillary components for use at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The required system must support high-pressure liquid chromatography with precise Gel Permeation Chromatography/Size Exclusion Chromatography capabilities to analyze molecular weight distributions, including Mn, Mw, Mz, and polydispersity. Key components include a solvent delivery manager rated to 15,000 psi with automatic degassing and compressibility compensation, a temperature-controlled sample injector (4–40°C), a column oven (4–90°C, ±0.5°C accuracy), RI and PDA detectors with low-dispersion flow cells, and dedicated data analysis software capable of automating polymer characterization workflows. All system elements must be interoperable and meet stringent technical specifications such as pH compatibility between 2–12, flow accuracy within ±1.0%, automated needle wash functionality, and leak detection capabilities. Responses are due by June 24, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time and must be submitted via email to Melissa M. Murphy, the primary point of contact. Vendors are required to disclose their business size status under NAICS code 334516 (1,000-employee threshold) and indicate any applicable small business certifications, including HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or EDWOSB status, as well as provide detailed descriptions of past performance relevant to similar instrumentation. No contract award is intended at this stage; the notice serves solely to inform future procurement planning. The delivery window for any resulting contract would be no later than 30 days after award, with acceptance performed by the government at the specified performance location. Submission files must avoid .zip and .exe formats due to security protocols, and while no pricing, contract value, or formal evaluation weights are provided, the information gathered will shape future solicitation requirements and potential set-aside considerations.

RF Sensor Network Design & IntegrationThe contract involves the design and integration of a multi-domain RF sensor network specifically engineered to detect and characterize frequency-agile unmanned aerial systems. This effort requires advanced signal processing capabilities to identify, track, and classify UAS threats in complex electromagnetic environments, with an emphasis on real-time situational awareness and adaptive response. The solution must be scalable, ruggedized for field operations, and capable of seamless operation across multiple domains including ground, air, and potentially space-based platforms. Deployment planning is a critical component, ensuring the network can be rapidly installed and configured in diverse operational terrains with minimal logistical footprint. The system must interoperate with existing military command, control, communications, and intelligence systems to feed actionable data into broader defense architectures. Performance requirements include high sensitivity to low-power signals, resistance to jamming and spoofing, and the ability to function autonomously in contested or denied environments. The work is to be performed in West Fork, Arkansas, under a subcontract arrangement with the Department of Defense, leveraging NAICS code 334511 for electronic component and product manufacturing.
