About this opportunity
Air Mobility Command has awarded contract NNG15SD03B on a sole-source basis for eight Aeromedical Evacuation Tactical Communications Kits comprising TUCK-19 Mobile Tactical Networking Platforms with MANTLE automation and SpaceX Starshield Mini Terminals, with the award made on September 29, 2026.
The justification cites RFO 16.505(a)(4) (brand-name restriction for specialized technical requirements) and notes that TUCK-19 is the only ruggedized mobile tactical networking platform delivering fully integrated automated PACE dynamic failover across multi-carrier 5G, Wi-Fi, and LEO transport systems with embedded NextTech Solutions MANTLE Automation Suite. The 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois determined a brand-name-only delivery order is justified due to the highly specialized technical specifications and unique level of hardware/software integration required to support en-route patient care during aeromedical evacuation operations. The requirement is a bona fide need for FY26 with support required in FY26; items will not be received until FY27 due to extended lead times, triggering the lead-time exception under 31 USC, Section 1502. The procurement is being placed via the NASA Solutions and Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) contract vehicle. Place of performance is Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. The requirement supports Headquarters Air Mobility Command (HQ AMC/A3) and the Office of the Command Surgeon (HQ AMC/SG). NAICS code 541519; PSC 7G21. The government has established technology transition milestones for FY27 and FY28 to foster competition as alternative commercial technologies mature.
