About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document for solicitation FA302026Q0117 regarding Portable UHF Radios. The document addresses an inquiry regarding acceptable radio models for the Air Force procurement.

The Q&A clarifies that the Falcon IV AN/PRC-163 radio is an acceptable alternative to the originally specified Falcon III AN/PRC-152A. The question was raised because the Falcon III AN/PRC-152A was announced as end of life in May, requires a two-year lead time for necessary hardware updates, and is no longer recommended for Air Force procurement. The government confirmed that the Falcon IV AN/PRC-163, which exceeds the stated requirements, is acceptable for use in this solicitation.
