About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground has published a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Herrick Technology Laboratories, Inc. (HTL) for proprietary user training on HTL radio hardware and software. This special notice, posted on April 21, 2026, is issued under the authority of Title 41 U.S.C. 1901(a)(1) and the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Federal Acquisition Regulation. The procurement involves two training events for Army personnel on proprietary radio systems owned and maintained by HTL. The period of performance extends from the award date through December 31, 2026, with an estimated value not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. HTL is identified as the sole source capable of meeting requirements due to its status as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary rights to the system.
The Army intends to award this contract exclusively to HTL because the company does not outsource training and maintains no approved vendors certified to provide instruction on its equipment, making it the only qualified source for the required services. Although this notice is not a request for competitive quotes and no solicitation document is available, all responsible sources that believe they can satisfy the requirements may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for the government's consideration. Interested parties must submit their responses by May 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST to Christopher Gaines (Christopher.r.gaines4.civ@army.mil) and David Kendrick (david.j.kendrick2.civ@army.mil). The government retains sole discretion to decide whether to compete this contract based on any responses received. This opportunity falls under NAICS category 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC category U006 (Education/Training-Vocational/Technical).
Notice text
Under the authority of Title 41 United States Code (U.S.C.) §1901(a)(1) as implemented in the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(a), the U.S. Army intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Herrick Technology Laboratories, Inc. (HTL) for proprietary user training on the HTL owned radio hardware and software capabilities.
The requirement consists of two training events for Army personnel on the proprietary radio hardware and software owned by the vendor. The period of performance will be from the date of award through 31 December 2026. The estimated value of this action is not-to-exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
Herrick Technology Laboratories, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the existing radio hardware and software acquired by the Army and maintains proprietary rights to the system. The company does not outsource training and has no approved vendors certified to train on its equipment. Therefore, HTL is the only source capable of providing the services that will satisfy the agency's requirements.
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. There is no solicitation document available for this requirement. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet the requirements may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency if received by the response date. A decision by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
