ACC-APG posted an UPDATED Sources Sought/RFI for Manpack Radio Production, Engineering, and Sustainment Follow-On Procurement

Amendment 02 extends the due date for Question 1 from April 04, 2025, to April 17, 2025, and the due date for Question 2 from April 10, 2025, to April 17, 2025. All submission dates for questions now reflect the due date of April 17, 2025.

The Army is conducting market research to determine the status of currently available non-developmental and/or commercial Manpack Radio products and technologies capable of high-rate production at a low unit price. The Army is primarily interested in technologically mature, NSA and Joint Interoperability Test Command certified multi-mode single radio solutions capable of simultaneous voice and data communications between multiple echelons of battlefield leadership with peers, subordinates, tactical enablers (i.e., aviation and fires), Coalition, Host Nation and units equipped with legacy Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) and an advanced networking waveform interoperable with the Army Integrated Tactical Network. This RFI aims to assess the state-of-the-art technology available in Manpack radio products that can be applied to meet existing and future operational and programmatic requirements outlined in the attached Draft Manpack Radio Performance Requirements Document (PRD).

The solutions identified should be rated at Manufacturing Readiness Level 9 and provide improved performance and sustainment capabilities for the mounted and dismounted Manpack Radio systems and ancillary products currently produced by incumbent contractors.

USSF posted an Original Sources Sought/RFI for Advanced Satellite Communication Ground Entry Point

The Space Rapid Capabilities Office (Space RCO) is seeking information from industry on developing and implementing advanced satellite communication antenna technology that can provide high-gain, low-latency, and reliable communication services for various applications. This RFI aims to assess the current state of system technology, maturity, and availability to inform current and future Space RCO Programs.

Space RCO is seeking information on a multi-purpose phased array (AESA) that can support a wide range of missions (including Ground Entry Point for satellite communications; satellite telemetry, tracking, and command at all orbital regimes). The system should be capable of operating on S-band (2.0-2.3 GHz), L-band (1.7-1.9 GHz), and C-band (4-8 GHz) frequencies. Solutions should be scalable in G/T, EIRP, and beamforming, and they should focus on software as the primary means of growth and mission diversity.

Responses with potential solutions should be focused on a tiered approach with cost/pricing commensurate to the tiers. Examples of tires (but not limited to)

  • AESA equivalent to 1.5 meter parabolic performance
  • AESA equivalent to 7.3 meter parabolic performance
  • AESA equivalent to 13.2 meter parabolic performance
