2. Mobile X-Ray Inspection Vehicles

U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Border Enforcement Contracting Division is preparing a procurement for mobile X-ray vehicles used in non-intrusive inspection. The presolicitation describes a single indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with a five-year ordering period, giving the requirement a fleet-procurement scope rather than a one-time equipment purchase.

CBP identifies the planned competition as full and open. Solicitation 70B03C26R00000031 carries a September 30 response date. The procurement record is the place to follow the solicitation package and statement of work for the vehicle configuration and inspection requirements.

The Regional Maintenance Center at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility is seeking maintenance, repair, and preservation of Bravo dive boat 65DS1101. The scope reaches from hull corrosion and protective coatings to propulsion components, generators, HVAC, watertight closures, and the fire-suppression system, followed by sea trials.

Work is to take place at the contractor’s facility in the defined Puget Sound region between Olympia and Bellingham, Washington. The Navy plans a firm-fixed-price, total small-business set-aside under solicitation N4523A26Q1110. The active notice lists December 16 as the offer deadline.

4. ARPA-H Proactive Health Solutions

ARPA-H’s Proactive Health Office is accepting solutions aimed at improving health before disease or a loss of quality of life takes hold. Its Innovative Solutions Opening covers disease prevention and wellness, early detection and preventive interventions, and the system-level changes needed to make proactive care work at scale.

The opening uses the ARPA-H Solutions Site for solution summaries and proposals. Solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-24-106 remains open into March 2029, making this an ongoing research pathway rather than a short-cycle commercial-services bid. The latest amendment updates administrative and research-security requirements for future proposals.

5. DLA Battery Network IV Research

The Defense Logistics Agency is soliciting white papers for Battery Network IV, its BATTNET research program for battery manufacturing technology. Managed through DLA’s Philadelphia contracting office, the program seeks advances in the U.S. industrial base that improve military battery logistics.

Broad agency announcement SP4701-26-B-0006 uses an initial white-paper review: DLA may invite technical proposals for approaches it selects for further consideration. The notice runs through August 2031, providing a sustained research channel for manufacturing improvements tied to battery supply and support.

6. NIBIB Commercialization Center Support

The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, through NIH’s Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, has issued a presolicitation for a proposed ceiling increase to an existing commercialization-support IDIQ. The intended action would continue VentureWell’s support for the RADx-Tech innovation funnel and related NIH translational activities.

The work connects project reviews and commercialization expertise with consultant recruitment, project management, and enterprise management software. This is a planned noncompetitive modification, not an open competition for a new commercialization center. Solicitation 75N98026R00162 lists a September 18 response deadline.

7. Crane and Hoist Maintenance

The 56th Contracting Squadron at Luke Air Force Base is seeking annual crane and hoist maintenance, including scheduled service and unscheduled repairs. The requirement is organized around the performance work statement and its equipment appendices, with amendments updating the wage determination and answers to industry questions.

The latest amendment extends offers to September 9. Funding is not yet available, and the Air Force states that no award will be made until funds are available. That condition is material to the timing of the planned maintenance contract.

8. Modernized VAERS Reporting Application

CDC’s Office of Acquisition Services is seeking a redesigned reporting application for the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. The work includes a new landing page, mobile-friendly navigation, and guided reporting paths that distinguish public users from healthcare professionals. Validation and contextual help are intended to make reports easier to complete and improve data quality.

The application must fit existing VAERS workflows and CDC’s managed Azure environment, with security authorization before production use. The latest solicitation update adds English and Spanish requirements. Offers under solicitation 75D301-26-Q-00146 are due today at 10 a.m. Eastern.

9. Hanford Software Engineering Support

Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure, LLC (H2C) is requesting proposals for software engineering support tied to its work for the Department of Energy’s Office of River Protection. H2C is the purchasing contractor here; the requirement supports its Hanford prime contract rather than a direct DOE software-services solicitation.

Solicitation 391634 lists a September 16 response deadline. The notice is categorized as sources sought, while its description explicitly requests proposals. The H2C procurement materials define the response requirements for this software-support need.

10. Ginnie Mae Recruitment Support Services

HUD’s Ginnie Mae Support Division is gathering industry input on strategic talent sourcing and recruitment support. The request for information covers outreach, labor-market research, talent-pipeline development, and recruitment-event support, with an emphasis on whether the draft work statement reflects commercial practice.

The division also wants feedback on proposed pricing units and alternatives that could support a performance-based acquisition. This is market research to shape the requirement and acquisition strategy, not a request for final priced offers. The record’s response window extends into September 2027.
