Wireless Data Transmission & Mobile Application Integration

The contract seeks the development of a secure wireless system designed to transmit real-time physiological data from canines to handheld or mobile devices used by handlers during field operations. The system must ensure reliable, low-latency data transfer under demanding field conditions, with robust encryption to protect sensitive health metrics such as heart rate, respiration, temperature, and activity levels. The solution must integrate seamlessly with existing mobile platforms used by military or federal personnel and comply with stringent security and interoperability standards to support operational readiness and animal welfare monitoring. Performance of this work is designated for Frederick, Maryland, with a submission deadline of August 3, 2026, and the contract falls under the NAICS code 518210 for data processing services. The contracting entity is the Defense Health Agency under the Department of Defense, and this is classified as a subcontract opportunity with no set-aside designation. The technology developed must be field-ready, durable, and capable of operating in harsh environments without compromising data integrity or battery life, ensuring handlers can make informed decisions based on live canine health status during missions.
