The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Hood is preparing to solicit leasing of an Integrated Survivable Private 5G system with Local Edge, Hybrid Cloud, and SATCOM Connectivity, with a sources sought notice response due May 7, 2026. This acquisition is 100% set-aside for small business concerns.
Place of performance is Fort Hood, Texas. The period of performance is 90 days, subject to change. The Government intends to evaluate a single integrated system supporting a Brigade-level Dispersed Command Post with approximately 131 concurrent users across a 1-kilometer radius coverage area, with automatic failover between private 5G, SATCOM (PLEO transport), and edge computing connectivity.
Equipment must be transportable in a JLTV bed, concealable under a vehicle cover, and moveable by hand or four-person lift; receiver/transmitter devices at dispersed nodes must be portable for individual Soldiers to carry. The system must achieve HEMP hardening per MIL-STD-188-125-1 standards, preferably as an integrated single enclosed unit with quick-connect/disconnect capability. Critical capabilities include Micro-Data Center functionality for edge computing, private 5G network core with stealth and legacy system interoperability, and resilient power management with independent energy storage and multi-source inputs. Cybersecurity compliance is mandatory: Risk Management Framework alignment with NIST SP 800-37 and 800-53 controls, Zero Trust Architecture with micro-segmentation and continuous authentication, FIPS 140-3 encryption for data-at-rest and in-transit, TAA compliance, and Cybersecurity Survivability Attributes with automated threat detection and self-healing. The system must maintain current WIN-T infrastructure autonomy for reach-back to DODIN enterprise services including Microsoft 365 and Maven Smart Systems. Questions close May 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with answers provided by May 3, 2026. NAICS 517810; PSC 7G21.
