Tactical Communication Systems - Procurement, Services & Sustainment (TCS-PSS) Call for Solutions
The Department of the Army, through CPE C2IN, PM C2T, and PdM TCS, has issued a Call for Solutions under DFARS Part 212.70 to establish a 10-year enterprise acquisition framework for tactical communication capabilities using single-award IDIQ contracts and/or Other Transactions. The effort supports Next Generation Command and Control and seeks secure, resilient, interoperable systems—NSA High Assurance certified or SBU-E qualified—for procurement, testing, fielding, and lifecycle sustainment of legacy and emerging transport hardware and software. Vendors must plan to incorporate Post-Quantum Cryptography compliant algorithms and achieve NIST validation by 31 December 2030. Amendment 1 requires vendors seeking access to CUI and export-controlled attachments to provide CAGE Code, DD Form 2345, and Joint Certification Program number for verification, and to submit an NDA for personnel requiring access.
