RFI TCS 8(a) VIK TDP PI Svcs_Ven (Final).docx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) from the U.S. Army seeking industry input on the procurement of Integration Kit Technical Data Package (IK TDP), production services, and platform integration services for 2-Channel Leader and Manpack Radios. Issued by the Army Capability Program Executive for Command, Control, Communications and Network (CPE C3N), Project Manager Command and Communication Transport (C2T), Product Manager Tactical Communication Systems (PdM TCS), and Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), the RFI Number W15P7T-26-R-0007 is designated as a pre-solicitation set-aside for 8(a) certified small businesses. The tactical communication systems addressed are the Army's primary hand-held radio capability, providing simultaneous operation, interoperability with legacy systems, and compatibility with End User Devices.

The purpose of this RFI is to identify interested industry sources and refine requirements for the Integration Kit Technical Data Package, production performance specifications, and platform integration performance requirements for the follow-on procurement. While the RFI itself does not contain specific response deadlines, award dates, or pricing terms within the provided document, interested vendors should expect that this pre-solicitation notice will inform the development of a formal solicitation to follow. The 8(a) set-aside designation indicates that only small businesses participating in the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program are eligible to compete for the eventual contract award.
