About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is procuring four AN/PRC-163 tactical radios through the 23d Contracting Squadron for the 41st Rescue Squadron. These advanced tactical radios feature NINESuite encryption capabilities, enabling secure interoperability with U.S., NATO, and regional tactical partners while supporting voice and data transmission up to TOP SECRET classification levels through the Sierra II encryption module. The radios offer enhanced situational awareness with embedded SAASM GPS receivers, beyond line-of-sight communication capabilities through simultaneous SATCOM voice and data transmission, and National Security Agency Type-1 certification. Each radio system includes comprehensive accessories such as Phantom Wraith Waveform bundles, SATURN crypto bundles, battery holsters, multicam accessory bags, various cable assemblies, and multiple battery charging systems. The solicitation was posted on September 3, 2025, with responses due by September 9, 2025, providing contractors with only six days to submit their proposals.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity, restricting participation to qualified small business contractors. The contract requires delivery of four complete radio systems with extensive accessory packages, including specialized charging equipment ranging from 2-bay to 8-bay tactical battery chargers and various antenna systems for MUOS and ATP SATCOM communications. The radios must support multi-channel communications across the 30MHz to 2.6GHz spectrum with capabilities for seamless networking through multiple MANET options including TSM-X, ANW2, and Wraith systems. Performance of this contract will take place at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia, specifically on Bemiss Road. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334290 for Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 5821 for Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Airborne, reflecting the specialized nature of these tactical communication systems.
