This is a Call for Solutions (CFS) for technical presentations to inform the U. S. Army's launcher approach for launched effects (LE) from ground and air. The goal is to identify industry solutions compatible with existing U. S. Government systems (LEDGR, BMS, MEL) and common carry/launch tubes. The U. S. Government is not seeking to buy LE, but to inform its launcher development path. Submissions are due by August 13, 2026, with continuous rolling evaluations thereafter. Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) may be established, but do not guarantee future orders. Offerors must be compliant with NDAA Section 848, possess a UEI, and be registered in SAM. gov. Cybersecurity requirements, including NIST SP **** and potentially CMMC, must be met. Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) analysis is required. The submission process involves a technical white paper (max 5 pages or 10 slides) followed by potential invitations for in-lab demonstrations and test range events.
The initial cutoff for white paper submissions is August 13, 2026. Submissions received after this date will be evaluated on a continuous, rolling basis. initial cutoff: 13 august 2026 45 days
The evaluation of the technical white paper focuses on the proposed solutions' alignment with government needs, technical feasibility, and innovation, based on its described technical merit. Evaluation focus: The government will evaluate the offerors twp to assess the proposed solutions alignment with the governments needs, technical feasibility, and innovation, based on its described technical merit.
Offerors must be compliant with Section 848 of the NDAA for FY2020, possess a Unique Entity ID (UEI), have active SAM. gov registration, an approved CAGE code, a current NIST SP **** assessment, meet cybersecurity requirements, and disclose any OCI. Offeror eligibility requirements: All proposed solutions must be fully compliant with section 848 of the national defense authorization act ndaa for fiscal year 2020. . .
Failure to meet cybersecurity requirements, including NIST SP **** and potentially CMMC, could lead to disqualification. Meet all cybersecurity requirements stipulated in this solicitation. . .
