Description

Project Title: Tactical Communication Systems Procurement, Services & Sustainment (TCS-PSS) Reference Number: CSO-ARMY-TCS-PSS-2027 Primary NAICS: 334220 – Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing 1. Opportunity Overview The Department of the Army, representing the Capability Program Executive Command and Control Information Network (CPE C2IN), the Project Manager Command and Control Transport (PM C2T), and the Product Manager Tactical Communication Systems (PdM TCS), has issued a Call for Solutions (CFS) under Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 212.70 to establish a 10-year enterprise acquisition framework for innovative tactical communication capabilities.

This initiative seeks to secure a mix of single-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and/or Other Transactions (OTs) to streamline the procurement, testing, fielding, and lifecycle sustainment of both legacy systems and emerging transport hardware and software. Focused on supporting Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2), the effort aims to deliver highly secure—National Security Agency (NSA) High Assurance certified or Sensitive but Unclassified - Encrypted (SBU-E) qualified—resilient, and interoperable communication systems.

To counter future cryptographic threats, the framework is seeking capable vendors to provide a plan for incorporating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) compliant algorithms and achieving National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) validation by 31 December 2030, ensuring robust data protection and mission command resilience in contested joint and coalition environments. 2.

Amendment 1 (19 October 2026; 1600 EST) - The purpose of this amendment is to establish the mandatory security and verification protocols for vendors requesting access to the CUI and Export-Controlled attachments associated with this Call for Solutions. Certain attachments referenced in this Call for Solutions are marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) with Limited Dissemination Controls and/or Export Controls.

Therefore, only vendors who are current DoW contract holders are eligible to receive Controlled information. The dissemination of Export-Controlled information is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act or the Export Administration Act of 1979. Export-controlled items shall not be disseminated outside the U.S. Government or to U.S. Government contractors without first verifying the recipient’s eligibility and authority to receive export-controlled information by verifying they have a current, valid DD Form 2345.

Interested vendors must provide their CAGE Code, DoW contract number, a copy of the DD2345, and their Joint Certification Program (JCP) number to Contracting Officer Jennifer Anderson ([email protected]), Contract Specialist Aaliyah Coles ([email protected]) and Contract Specialist Douglas Thier ([email protected]). Once the contract number, CAGE Code, and JCP data has been verified the Controlled documents will be sent to interested parties.

Additionally, vendors will be required to submit a Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA), for all personnel requiring access to these documents. A copy of this NDA can be obtained by emailing the Contracting Officer Jennifer Anderson ([email protected]), Contract Specialist Aaliyah Coles ([email protected]) and Contract Specialist Douglas Thier ([email protected]).
