About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Army Product Lead Strategic Spectrum Warfare (PL SSW) seeking information from vendors who can offer a solution to integrate disaggregated and distributed electronic warfare (EW) capability into/onto either a small-scale transit case or a large-scale Command and Control (C2) platform and/or shelter.
The RFI outlines the Government's interest in understanding the vendor's approach to designing an EW hardware architecture, integrating systems and subsystems, testing and validating the solution, establishing training and maintenance procedures, and adapting and evolving the EW system. The RFI poses several technical questions for vendors to address, covering areas such as experience in RF system integration, EW mission planning and execution, software architecture, performance evaluation, resource utilization estimation, systems integration management, and advanced analytics capabilities. The RFI states that the Government may use this information to award one or more Title 10 USC 4023 experimentation agreements, which would provide an opportunity for vendors to demonstrate their software and potentially sell items for testing and evaluation purposes. Responses are due by October 3, 2024, and must be submitted via mail. Classified responses up to the SECRET level are also accepted.

Sheet1
| Question | Answer | |
| Will the government consider extending the deadline for response to this System Integration RFI to 27 September 2024, or a date later than 10 September 2024? | Extension granted until 3 October 2024. | |
| Is email acceptable for unclassified RFI responses (rather than postal mail)? | No. | |
| Is secure file transfer via SAFE, coordinated in advance with SSW contracts staff, acceptable for unclassified RFI responses (rather than postal mail)? | No. | |
| Will competitive down selection criteria be published? | Potential follow-on activities. The Government may use this RFI as a means of competition to grant one or more Title 10 USC 4023 experimentation agreements. | |
| Will demonstrations be considered/expected as part of RFI or RFP responses or will demonstrations be an early contract event upon downselection and contract award. Will the government publish a notional schedule for the upcoming demonstrations? | ||
| These agreements will provide an opportunity for Vendors to demonstrate their software and potentially sell items for testing and evaluation purposes. | ||
| For System Integration what level of technical solution (3rd party specific hardware and software solutions) will be defined by the government or will the government only flow performance based requirements that the system integrator will need to design to leveraging commercial/industry capabilities? | Assume both scenarios listed in question when providing a response. | |
| Are there specific performance requirements, and desired effects by SOI the government is trying to address? Is there a specific Security Class Guide to be used to assess Secret Collateral aplicability. | The Government will not provide specific performance requirements or a security classification guide. | |
| Does the government see value in the ability to integrate with current EW systems or EWPMT? | Yes. | |
| Is there an unclassified email to submit responses to rather than mail? | Vendors shall submit responses via mail to: |
• U.S. Army, PM EW&C, ATTN: SFAE-IEW-EW, Security Office, 6631 Cyber Street, Bldg. 5100, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005
| Would the Government consider providing an electronic means of submission for non-classified responses (SAFE upload or emailed)? Or would the Government consider a hand delivery? | No. |
| Respectfully request an extension for the response and question submission deadlines. This additional time will allow us to provide a more thorough response that fully addresses the objectives of the RFI. | Extension granted until 3 October 2024. |
| Can industry please be allowed to submit our Unclassified RFI responses via email directly to the Army instead of mailing them in?? It would allow industry more time to provide solid responses to the questions asked in the RFIs. | No. |
