Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G-TEAD) USARPAC ACE 27-01: Autonomous Sustainment Powered by xTech​
Solicitation # W91QVP-26-S-GTEADAutonomousSustainment
The U.S. Army, through the Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G-TEAD) and U.S. Army Pacific, is launching the G-TEAD USARPAC ACE 27-01: Autonomous Sustainment powered by xTech competition to identify and accelerate innovative unmanned logistics solutions for contested environments. This initiative seeks autonomous air, surface, and ground delivery systems capable of resupplying distributed forces across maritime and littoral regions where traditional logistics are vulnerable. Submissions must address one of three capability areas—attritable air delivery, surface vessels transporting one to four TEUs, or autonomous ground logistics systems—and demonstrate a Technology Readiness Level of 6 or higher, interoperability with Army systems like GCCS-A and GCSS-A, resilience in GPS-denied environments, cyber security compliance, and safe operation around personnel and other systems. The competition is open to eligible small and large businesses, both U.S.-based and from allied foreign nations, provided they are not associated with a Foreign Country of Concern and can obtain a CAGE or NCAGE code. The competition unfolds in three phases: a white paper and video submission window from August 5 to August 17, 2026; a live Soldier exercise in November 2026; and a follow-on proposal period through March 2027. Up to 15 finalists will each receive $25,000 after Phase 1, and those whose technologies successfully integrate during the Soldier exercise will earn an additional $25,000. From these finalists, up to five winners will be selected to receive $150,000 each and may be considered for potential follow-on agreements under Other Transaction Authorities, prototypes, or research and development contracts. While no contract is guaranteed, the competition is designed to serve as a direct pathway to acquisition through statutory authorities such as 10 U.S.C. § 4021 and § 3458. All submissions are treated as privileged, though participants must clearly mark proprietary information. The Army will provide evaluative feedback to aid technology maturation, but will not respond to inquiries about scores or evaluations.
