About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for the NGP Phase 1B Second RFI (Request for Information).
The document addresses three primary topics relevant to respondents preparing RFI submissions. Regarding the CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) attachment, there were no material changes from the previous RFI issued in late 2025; however, additional guidance information was provided in three tables. The deadline for requesting access to CUI has been extended to March 18, 2026. On the technical question of Launch Acceptability Region (LAR) generation approach, the government clarified that the weapon system shall generate its own LAR, with the aircraft making the final LAR determination. The weapon system must be compatible with both UAI (Unified Architecture Interface) and non-UAI systems, though more specific details will be provided at a future date to be determined. For page count requirements, the government confirmed that for this RFI, the page count limit is all-inclusive and includes cover sheets, tables of contents, and acronym lists. However, this approach will change for the subsequent RFP, where the page count limit will exclude these parenthetical items.
