# Army Seeks Meridian Sustainment Integrators

The U.S. Army is inviting private-sector teams to submit short proposals for integration approaches under Meridian, an effort to replace fragmented sustainment systems with an open, interoperable, resilient data ecosystem. The Army is pursuing phased delivery rather than a traditional multi-year acquisition, with integration standards expected by October 2026, a developer–warfighter integration event planned for November, and initial capability fielding targeted for December. The signal provides no contract value, solicitation number, proposal deadline, or procurement contact.

- Potential offerors should focus proposals on how their integration approaches support interoperability, resilience, and phased delivery across sustainment systems.
- The schedule places standards completion in October and an integration event in November, ahead of targeted initial fielding in December 2026; firms should account for this compressed sequence in solution planning.
- Because no submission deadline or formal solicitation details are provided, the signal does not establish a specific proposal window or award opportunity.
