About this opportunity
US Army Contracting Command–Aberdeen Proving Ground intends to solicit quotes using FAR 12.201 simplified procedures for a brand-name Caterpillar Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) Remote Operations Kit, with responses due by August 21, 2026, under a FAR 12.102(a) brand-name limited sources justification. This is a sole-source procurement; only Caterpillar equipment is compatible with the existing proprietary CAT electronics, CAN bus, and control protocols, and using non-OEM components presents unacceptable safety risks for unmanned operations in unexploded ordnance–contaminated terrain.
The contractor shall convert an existing government-owned CAT 299D3 Skid Steer Loader (Serial # LB301509) into an unmanned, remotely operated platform by providing two Vision Kits (P/N 604-3425 and 617-8508), a Wi-Fi Kit (P/N 638-5489), a Mobile Mark LTM Dome Antenna (P/N 615-7741), a CISCO IW3702 CPU, an Axiomatic Power Converter (P/N 603-6623), operators manuals for all components, on-site installation, and one training session for up to three personnel. All components must carry full one-year commercial manufacturer's warranty beginning upon final government acceptance.
Delivery and installation must be completed no later than September 30, 2026, at US Army Aberdeen Test Center, Building 358, 6850 Lanyard Road, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland 21005. One firm-fixed-price contract will be awarded to the lowest price technically acceptable offer, subject to funds availability. The estimated contract value is approximately $50,000 for the NLOS kit. NAICS 333120; PSC 6220. Contact: Benjamin C. Gallardy, benjamin.c.gallardy.civ@army.mil, (410) 278-5603.
