# Army Awards Heaviside $99M MOTH Contract

The U.S. Army awarded Heaviside Industries a five-year, firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract valued at up to $99 million to procure, field, upgrade, and sustain MOTH handheld radio-frequency spectrum analyzers. Initial deliveries are expected in FY2027, and the contract is estimated to run through August 27, 2031. Funding and work locations will be determined through individual orders, so the award creates follow-on demand for equipment and support while not representing an open solicitation.

- Heaviside is the prime awardee; suppliers and support providers can assess potential subcontracting or supply-chain opportunities as task orders are issued.
- Because order-level funding and work locations are not yet specified, firms should base any pursuit planning on the individual order requirements rather than assuming a fixed deployment location or funding profile.
- The award signals Army demand for soldier-portable spectrum awareness and electronic-warfare capabilities, including fielding, upgrades, and sustainment alongside equipment delivery.
