The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground, acting on behalf of the Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Sensors, seeks offers for the design, test, and delivery of a replacement Shipboard Power Pack (SPP), an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that provides conditioned 115 VAC and 24 VDC power with battery backup to the Enhanced Maritime Biological Detection (EMBD) system supporting the United States Navy. The SPP must deliver 250 watts of conditioned 24 VDC and 1,250 kW of conditioned AC output with pure sinewave AC output, low-noise DC output, low harmonic distortion with near-unity power factors, and protection against surges, spikes, and transients.

Proposals will be evaluated using a best-value trade-off analysis with technical factors (approach to design and analysis, testing and quality, program management) weighted significantly more heavily than cost, requiring a minimum rating of "Meet" on technical factors and "Acceptable" on past performance to be eligible for award. The deadline for questions is February 24, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST, the deadline for requests for controlled technical documents is February 17, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST, and proposals are due by March 9, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST.
