ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. – The U.S. Army’s Capability Program Executive Intelligence and Spectrum Warfare (CPE ISW) has announced a special notice for vendors. The Rapid Electromagnetic Warfare & Signals Intelligence Commercial Solutions Offering (REWSI) under the Army Open Solicitation (AOS) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) was released today via the VULCAN portal seeking commercially available technologies.
The Call for Solutions (Army Open Solicitation – W9128Z-25-S-A002) is part of a broader effort to establish a collection of commercial capabilities, streamlining the acquisition process and giving unit Commanders faster access to a diverse range of technologies tailored to their mission needs. Interested parties must submit a Solution Brief through the VULCAN portal. The call will remain open for approximately 12 months, with reviews of submissions ongoing.
“By utilizing a ‘library approach’ for our EMSO (Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations) solutions, the Army is embracing a more agile acquisition model,” said Joseph Welch, Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Command and Control (C2)/Counter C2. “This allows for the rapid integration of commercial technologies and non-developmental items, bypassing traditional, lengthy development cycles to ensure Soldiers have advanced capabilities in a relevant timeframe.”
The initiative, led by Project Manager Electromagnetic Warfare & Collection (PM EW&C), aims to rapidly procure and sustain advanced equipment to meet the Army’s EMSO Characteristics of Need (CoN). “The EMSO battlespace is at the forefront of all Army operations and the pace of change within this fast-moving environment. The EMSO CoN focuses on operational challenges and required capabilities rather than pre-defined solutions and will afford us greater flexibility in addressing evolving threats with emerging technologies,” said Col. Scott Shaffer, PM EW&C.
This will empower industry partners to propose a wider range of innovative technologies, ultimately bridging the gap between private sector ingenuity and the Army’s operational needs.
“The Call for Solutions is a key step in building a rigorously vetted library of commercial technologies, allowing Commanders to quickly select the best tools for their specific mission,” said Danielle Moyer, executive director, Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG). “This approach allows us to tap into a more flexible model and encourages early and continued competition as the call will remain open and updated as specific capabilities needs emerge.”
