Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE ARMY
Location: Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 33451
Scope: Federal

Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) Control Head Unit (CHU) The Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), on behalf of the Capability Program Executive – Aviation (CPE AVN) and the Project Manager, Aviation Mission Systems and Architecture (PM AMSA), is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of delivering a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) Control Head Unit (CHU).

This critical hardware effort supports the immediate fielding of the Air to Ground Communications (A2GC) system—the Army’s next-generation, federated replacement for the legacy SINCGARS system.

To bypass traditional, multi-year aircraft integration timelines and meet emerging Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) requirements, PM AMSA is seeking an intelligent, airworthy, modular open-systems-compliant controller capable of hosting multiple software applications, enabling rapid, iterative evolutionary capability updates directly to the warfighter.

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.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
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.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
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.
