About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is conducting market research through a sources sought announcement for mesh radio communication equipment needed by the 22nd Civil Engineer Squadron at McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas. The procurement involves goTenna or equivalent UHF radios and relay equipment for emergency response situations when primary communication systems fail or during off-base operations. The required equipment must provide encrypted mesh communications without relying on Wi-Fi or cellular service, include an interface for real-time situational awareness accessible to responders and command nodes, and feature extenders capable of reaching at least 100 miles. The government is seeking to identify qualified contractors capable of delivering these specialized communication devices within specified technical parameters. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by Monday, August 11, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST, with submissions required via email to designated Air Force personnel.
This opportunity is set aside for total small businesses under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The specific quantities required include 30 goTenna UHF radios and 1 goTenna Edge Relay, with delivery required within 60 days after receipt of order to McConnell AFB. The contractor must provide on-site training at the base for all potential users and include a one-year full coverage warranty that replaces any defects not caused by government damage or misuse at no cost. The system must ensure network connectivity across the installation including dual-response areas with a minimum coverage area of 100 square miles. No specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in this preliminary market research phase, as this is strictly a sources sought announcement and not an active solicitation.
