About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the production of Embedded National Tactical Radio (ENTR) V4. The government seeks contractors with expertise in manufacturing tactical radios that enable Integrated Broadcast Service users to receive near real-time data for mission-critical functions across multiple platforms. This market research aims to identify qualified sources capable of producing both footed (P/N 762-010976-3) and non-footed (P/N 762-010976-1) radio versions. The RFI requires electronic submissions via AMRDEC SAFE by 4:00 PM EST on April 4, 2025, with a comprehensive capability survey covering business size, manufacturing experience, facility capabilities, commerciality, warranty terms, and parts obsolescence management. Respondents are advised that participation in this market research does not guarantee future solicitation or contract awards, and the government will not reimburse any expenses associated with survey participation.
The procurement strategy contemplates a five-year contract structure with a base year and four option years, extending through fiscal year 2028. The Best Estimated Quantities (BEQ) indicate 50 units in the first year, followed by 25 units annually in subsequent years. No specific set-aside has been designated, with the government maintaining flexibility based on small business capability analysis under NAICS code 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). The government does not currently own the data rights for ENTR V4, which may impact potential contractor involvement. While the exact award value is not specified, the contract represents a significant opportunity for manufacturers in the tactical radio and communication systems sector. Potential respondents should note that this RFI is strictly for informational purposes, and the government is not currently seeking proposals or committing to a contract award.
