About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather comprehensive data on Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Electronic Warfare (EW) technologies designed to combat small unmanned aircraft system threats in groups 1-3. The RFI seeks detailed technical specifications from potential contractors, focusing on current and emerging EW technologies that can effectively neutralize sUAS threats. Responses are voluntary and must be submitted by May 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST to Contracting Officer Robert Gill, Contract Specialist Kristen Rienzo, and Program Manager Thomas Greene via email. Contractors are required to provide extensive documentation including technical capabilities, hardware and software specifications, cybersecurity features, production capacity, and supply chain information. The evaluation will likely focus on the comprehensiveness of technical data, system effectiveness, manufacturing capabilities, and potential integration with existing Air Force systems.
This RFI does not have a specific set-aside designation and is not a formal solicitation, but rather a market research initiative to understand industry capabilities for potential future procurement. No specific award value or budget range is currently disclosed, and the government explicitly states that this request does not guarantee a procurement action or future contract. The RFI covers electronic warfare systems for sUAS threats, with an emphasis on technologies targeting groups 1-3 unmanned aircraft. Vendors are instructed to submit all documentation within Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) parameters, with the option to use DoD Safe for file transfers if email attachments are too large. Contractors should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation including technical data sheets, interface control documents, system design requirements, pricing models, and testing reports to demonstrate their technological capabilities.
