The Program Executive Officer Soldier (PEO Soldier) is hosting a two-day Industry Day conference on January 20-21, 2026, in Alexandria, VA, for the Purpose-Built Attritable System (PBAS). This event, led by Product Manager Soldier Precision Targeting Devices (PdM SPTD), aims to engage U.S. and affiliated companies, focusing on Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Attendees must meet specific access requirements in accordance with 32 CFR 117, NISPOM, and DoDM 5200.48. One-on-one meetings are reserved for prime vendors capable of producing DIU Blue List-approved PBAS and demonstrating lethal munition employment within four months of contract award. Subcontractors and small businesses are encouraged to network. All participants must complete a questionnaire by December 19, 2025, limited to 15 pages. Attendance is restricted to U.S. Department of Defense personnel and contractors, with exceptions requiring prior approval. Companies must email their intent to attend, listing a maximum of three personnel, by December 19, 2025. The agenda will be provided via an amendment on Sam.gov.

The “20-21 January 2026 PBAS Industry Days Questionnaire” outlines requirements for companies interested in participating in the PBAS Industry Days. It requests comprehensive company background information, including CAGE codes, DoD contractor authorization, business type, and attendee citizenship status with CUI access validation. The questionnaire also seeks detailed system-specific information, such as system name, description, weight of air vehicle (AV) platforms, NDAA and MOSA compliance, and DIU Blue list status. Furthermore, it probes into system performance, covering munition/fuze types, payload capacity, electrical components, battery specifications, endurance, range, speed, communication frequencies, encryption, and navigation capabilities, alongside environmental testing and maintenance. Pricing and production capabilities, including unit prices, lead times, and monthly production rates, are also requested. Finally, the document emphasizes system architecture and common controller integration, focusing on Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) and Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) conformant architectures, particularly for command and control of small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) and integration with existing Army systems like NettWarrior.
