Not yet. Typical award: Aug 30, 2026 to Nov 23, 2026, middle of the range Sep 24, 2026.
Measured from 718 past early notices at Dept of the Army that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Jul 20, 2026).
Responses are due May 16, 2027, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.

Current mission command systems are not mobile, intuitive, or survivable enough to easily overcome the current threat, changes in the character of warfare, and the pace of technology. As part of the Army�s continuous transformation effort, initiatives are being implemented to transform how the Army operates, trains, and equips for C2 capabilities that enhance its lethality, mobility, and survivability in large-scale combat as part of the Joint Force. The Army�s operational imperative is to improve systems responsibly, using innovative solutions from units and industry; at the same time, preparing for the future by ensuring the next generation of C2 systems are built on a portfolio of capabilities that effectively address emerging threats and ensure dominance over adversaries. The Army�s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) portfolio of capabilities will provide commanders with the ability to make more, better, and faster decisions through advanced analytics, an integrated data layer, open architecture, and robust and resilient transport. The result is data-centric C2 at every echelon that can operate in any environment. NGC2 requirements are currently being informed by persistent experimentation. Market research and prototyping will create a competitive environment for innovative industry partnerships and continuous integration of new technologies. Army Contracting Command- Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) in support of the Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications and Network (PEO C3N) and the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) program is publishing this Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), W15P7T-25-S-0001, in accordance with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Subpart 212.70 for the purpose of establishing a streamlined vehicle to award innovative C2 capability and functionality. This CSO will remain open until 16 May 2027. This CSO will be open until canceled by the U.S. Army. Proposals shall only be submitted in response to a Request for White Paper (RWP). *********************************************** *Please note: Supplementary documents pertaining to NGC2 is located on the Joint Communications Marketplace (JCM) at https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/login/, go to �More Communities,� click �Army,� and then �Next Gen Command & Control (NGC2).� The Reading Room is accessed by a link on the NGC2 home page menu.
