About this opportunity
The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command is conducting market research to identify industry capabilities for the production of National Security Agency (NSA)-certified MIDS Weapons Data Link (WDL) Small Form Factor (SF1) radios. This Request for Information seeks to identify vendors capable of delivering low-cost, production-ready or near-production SF1 terminals with minimum monthly delivery capabilities of 50 units. Respondents must address product maturity levels, reliability metrics (including channel hardware Mean Time Between Failures), required certifications (NSA Type Certification, airworthiness compliance, spectrum certification, and HERO analysis), production capabilities up to 100 terminals per month, risk assessments, life-cycle support details, and Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimates for delivery quantities of 500, 800, and 1,000 units beginning in FY27. The Government anticipates conducting industry exchanges for additional market research and clarification on development and certification risks. Questions regarding the announcement must be submitted by February 12, 2026 at 12:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time, and unclassified white paper responses limited to 25 pages (12-point font minimum) are due by February 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time via SAM.gov in Microsoft Office 2010 or earlier or Adobe PDF format.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a follow-on effort to the existing MIDS TRS contract held by L3 Harris Telemetry and RF Products. The Government anticipates awarding multiple development contracts with competitively awarded production orders, with each award estimated at approximately $900 million and total procurement expected to exceed 3,000 terminals across all contract awards, though final quantities have not been determined. Award is anticipated in early FY27 with asset deliveries beginning in FY28. The applicable NAICS code is 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) with a 750-employee size standard, and both large and small businesses are encouraged to respond. The Government desires Unlimited Rights for noncommercial Technical Data and Computer Software or minimum Government Purpose Rights for solutions incorporating commercial elements, and respondents must include all applicable commercial or open-source license agreements with their responses.
