Multispectral CamoFlage System

The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is conducting market research through this Request for Information to identify sources capable of providing a Multispectral Camouflage System for special warfare unit recovery teams operating in high-risk environments behind enemy lines. The system must provide concealment across multiple detection spectrums including visual, thermal, radar, and potentially ultraviolet methods, comprising three subsystems: a Static Equipment Kit, a Vehicle Kit, and an Individual Suit. The camouflage system must be effective at detection ranges between 25-1000 meters depending on the subsystem and must be adaptable to various environmental conditions from cold to hot climates. Key performance requirements include specific weight limits, rapid deployment capabilities, and versatility across different terrain types and vegetation conditions. Interested vendors must submit their responses electronically to Contracting Officer Jared Rush and Program Manager Matteo Zucchi by August 1, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern time, with submissions limited to 15 pages and including technical capabilities, product specifications, development approaches, and cost estimates.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all eligible contractors. The government files do not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors for this specialized camouflage technology. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, as this is purely a market research effort to inform the government's acquisition strategy and performance specifications. The RFI does not specify quantities of systems required or detailed timeline for potential services, focusing instead on gathering industry capabilities and technical approaches. The solicitation is classified under NAICS code 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing.
