About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command at Fort Hood intends to solicit a 90-day lease of an Integrated Survivable Private 5G system with Local Edge, Hybrid Cloud, and SATCOM Connectivity, with a 100% small business set-aside, and anticipates releasing the solicitation shortly after the May 7, 2026 pre-solicitation notice close date.

Performance will occur at Fort Hood, Texas. The procurement requires equipment meeting five primary capability categories: HEMP hardening to MIL-STD-188-125-1 standards with survival of E1, E2, or E3 pulses and operational continuity during grid or regional communications failures; Micro-Data Center capabilities for local edge computing and low-latency processing of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance data supporting real-time AI-driven applications and soldier-mounted augmented reality systems; integrated 5G/private network core establishing secure, stealth connectivity with low probability of detection and interoperability with legacy tactical radios; physical and cyber security based on Zero Trust Architecture principles including tamper resistance, end-to-end encryption, and prevention of lateral movement; and resilient power management with independent energy storage and multi-source input capability.

Cybersecurity requirements include Risk Management Framework alignment per NIST SP 800-37, Zero Trust Architecture compliance per DoD Zero Trust Strategy with micro-segmentation and continuous authentication, FIPS 140-3 encryption for data-at-rest and data-in-transit, Trade Agreements Act–compliant supply chain sourcing, and Cybersecurity Survivability Attributes with automated threat detection and self-healing capabilities.
