Scope

The U.S.

Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is issuing this Call for Solutions against Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) W58RGZ-26-S-C001 under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3458.

This Call will competitively acquire and onboard innovative commercial Uncrewed Systems (US) payloads, software, components, and enablers/accessories onto the UAS Marketplace.

US payloads encompass the mission-specific hardware, sensors, systems, or cargo carried by a US to execute designated operational tasks.

Unlike the aircraft itself, the payload dictates the specific mission capability of the platform.

These integrated systems include, but are not limited to, Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) cameras for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR); Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR); Laser Designators (LD) and Rangefinders (LRF); Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) modules; communications relays (voice and data); and modular physical cargo delivery systems.

By utilizing modular and interchangeable payloads, a single US platform can be rapidly reconfigured to support diverse tactical requirements at the Brigade, Corps, and Division levels.

Please see attached Statement of Objectives and Components document for further details.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
  3. This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
  4. Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
