INDUSTRY DAY: NGSRI - AID (Alternate Interceptor Demonstration), Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Fires, Portfolio Management Executive (PME) Defensive Fires
Solicitation # W31P4Q-NGSRI-AID-26-0001
The Department of the Army is hosting an Industry Day on September 15, 2026, in Huntsville, Alabama, to identify prospective sources for the Next Generation Short Range Interceptor Alternate Interceptor Demonstration. The program aims to provide a high performance, soldier portable, fire and forget surface to air missile system to replace the legacy FIM-92 Stinger, capable of defeating rotary wing, fixed wing, and Group 2/3 Unmanned Aircraft System threats. The new missile must be backwards compatible with legacy platforms such as SGT STOUT and MADIS. The government is specifically seeking vendors with production-ready systems capable of participating in a demonstration scheduled for Spring 2027, which may lead to a procurement award. While attendance at the Industry Day is voluntary and not a requirement for future procurement, the event will include an overview of opportunities, a panel discussion, and optional one-on-one breakouts. Interested parties should refer to the registration guidelines and contact Jazmine Robinson for further details.

58--TERMINAL,SATELLITE
Solicitation # SPRPA126QWC00
This presolicitation, issued by the Department of Defense through the DLA Aviation office in Philadelphia, is for the procurement of eight satellite terminals under NSN 7R-5895-200093109-P8 and reference number 1252-A-3420-07. The delivery terms are set as FOB Origin. The solicitation, numbered SPRPA126QWC00, was posted on August 26, 2026, with a response deadline of September 28, 2026. A critical requirement for this contract is engineering source approval by the design control activity to ensure part quality. Because the approved sources possess unique design capabilities, technical data, and manufacturing knowledge not economically available to the government, acquisition must be made from these qualified sources. Any alternate source seeking to provide these parts must undergo a rigorous qualification process approved by the government engineering activity with jurisdiction over the part's intended application.

SOFWERX and the USSOCOM Program Executive Office Fixed Wing are hosting an Assessment Event to identify vendors capable of integrating existing compatible small, unmanned air system platforms into a Karman Systima Common Launch Tube. This initiative supports the Adaptive Airborne Enterprise program, which aims to enhance ISR capabilities through autonomous platforms and resilient data paths. The government is specifically seeking TRL 5+ airframes that can be rapidly integrated to support Find, Fix, Track, Target, and Electronic Warfare missions under the Air Force Special Operations Command. Participation is limited to U.S. citizens, and the event is open to industry, academia, and national laboratories. The engagement follows a multi-phase timeline beginning with a submission period that closes on 11 September 2026. Following a downselect process in late September, selected participants will attend a virtual Assessment Event on 07 October 2026 to pitch and demonstrate their solutions to a USSOCOM evaluation panel. Successful evaluations may lead to various agreement types, including research and development agreements, Other Transaction Authorities for prototypes, or FAR-based procurement contracts. Potential awardees may also be required to maintain compliance with NIST SP 800-171 standards for protecting controlled unclassified information.
