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.

Artemis III Alternate Communication SystemThe Artemis III mission is adapting its Orion spacecraft configuration to address new communication demands arising from its revised trajectory through low Earth orbit, which has resulted in a reduced data rate for the primary communication system. To support critical mission phases such as rendezvous and docking, a secondary communications system is being developed and integrated to ensure the live transmission of 4K imagery and the reliable downlink of large data files during other flight segments. This secondary system must provide near-continuous communication capability with a return link bandwidth of at least 12 Mbps to meet operational requirements and maintain mission success under tighter data constraints. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Glenn Research Center has issued a forecast for the Artemis III Alternate Communication System under NAICS code 517810, indicating an upcoming procurement effort to identify and implement a suitable solution. The system will be specifically designed to complement the existing primary communication infrastructure and must function reliably in the challenging environment of lunar mission profiles. Point of contact for inquiries is Shanna DeLeon, with Robert E. Watts designated as the Small Business Specialist, ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses to participate in the development and integration of this critical technology.
