About this opportunity
Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), in support of the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Mission Systems (PAE MS) AIWA program, is conducting market research via Request for Information to assess industry manufacturing capabilities for Full Rate Production of four antenna systems, with responses due by November 16, 2026.
The Government seeks qualified manufacturing sources for build-to-print production of the Very/Ultra High Frequency Transmit Array (V/UHF Tx Array) antenna, High Frequency Direction Finding (HFDF) antenna, New Graywing Antenna Development (NewGRAD) acquisition antenna, and Next Generation AS-4683 Antenna. Respondents need not address all four systems; partial solutions covering any subset are acceptable. The Government will provide a complete Level 3 Product level Technical Data Package (TDP); design and development of the TDP is currently in process. Responses should focus on manufacturing capabilities, quality control, and production capacity rather than engineering design expertise.
Industry day is planned prior to RFP release. Technical specifications and operating frequency ranges for the V/UHF transmit array, NewGRAD, and AS-4683 NextGen antennas, along with notional annual quantities to support cost of manufacturing estimates and Government Furnished Equipment specifications, will be available at RFP release. The Government intends to conduct First Article Testing on each antenna with qualification repeated only upon baseline changes. Responses may be combined into a single unified PDF document provided no individual antenna section exceeds eight pages; a two-page administrative section counts separately.
NAICS 334511; PSC 5810.

Update #2 · Latest ·
The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), in support of the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Mission Systems (PAE MS) AIWA program, is issuing this RFI to conduct market research. The Government is seeking to assess industrys current and projected capabilities to support Full Rate Production (FRP) of the newly designed Very/Ultra High Frequency Transmit Array (V/UHF Tx Array) antenna, High Frequency Direction Finding (HFDF) antenna, New Graywing Antenna Development (NewGRAD) acquisition antenna, and Next Generation AS-4683 Antenna. The primary objective of this RFI is to identify qualified manufacturing sources for a build-to-print production effort. For the purposes of this RFI, industry shall assume the Government will provide a complete Level 3 Product level Technical Data Package (TDP). NOTE: The design and development of the TDP is currently in process. Responses should focus on manufacturing capabilities, quality control, and production capacity rather than engineering design expertise.Respondents are encouraged to provide recommendations related to the delivery of a partial or full solution, covering any or all of the antenna systems described herein for which they have expertise. You are not required to respond to all four antenna systems to submit a compliant RFI response.
