Description

The Government anticipates issuing a solicitation for this requirement. Certain aspects of this effort may involve proprietary data, designs, or systems that are not available for release.

The Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground, Belvoir, on behalf of the US Army's Communications-Electronics Command, Integrated Logistics Sustainment Center (CECOM ILSC), intends to negotiate a Cost Reimbursement type and Firm Fixed Price production and service contract for the sustainment of the Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS). The contract will be negotiated with ELTA North America (ENA) of Herndon, VA, and will include a one (1) year base ordering period followed by four (4) 12-month option periods, for a total of a five (5) year sole source contract for repair services utilizing a mix of cost-reimbursement CLINs, with workload based on estimated repair demand. Delivery schedules and destinations for items will be established upon award for each option period.

The HMDS contract will allow for the continued procurement of HMDS 6B services, including non-personal services including HMDS technical services, engineering changes, depot level maintenance, HMDS technical, logistics, management data,  and limited vendor-specific/proprietary services. This proposed contract will serve as the comprehensive solution to satisfy requirements for the continued production of HMDS 6B repair parts and the sustainment of the Army’s Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) and Program of Record (POR) fleets through FY31. Market research for this Pre-solicitation notice was performed under Notice ID DLA-Aberdeen-25-067. It was determined that ENA was the only respondent to the Sources Sought announcement from June 2025. ENA has purchased all technical data, both proprietary and non-proprietary, from the previous incumbent on Contract W909MY-18-D-0014, Chemring Sensors and Electronic Systems (CSES), as well as all other related program documentation (e.g., deliverables to the U.S. Government from CSES). ENA provides services for the HMDS contract through its facilities in Annapolis, MD. The vendor demonstrates strong capabilities in supporting the HMDS program, with a focus on technical expertise, supply chain management, and program efficiency. ENA’s commitment to meeting U.S. Government requirements, managing obsolescence, and providing long-term support positions them as a reliable partner for the HMDS program.
