About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has issued a sole source notice of intent to contract with Kratos Defense & Rocket Support Services Inc. for MissionWave SCISR Tri-Band Radio systems. The notice, posted on September 5, 2025, indicates DISA's intention to negotiate a sole source contract for specialized radio equipment that supports L, S, and C band frequencies, BE-CDL, and TBS waveforms with a maximum data rate of 45 Mbps. The radios do not include an on-board KIV encryptor but come with an interfacing kit module featuring conventional data and power ports. DISA cites statutory authority under 10 USC 2304 (c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), stating that only one responsible source exists that can satisfy the agency's requirements. The agency is currently coordinating a Justification & Approval document that will be posted publicly upon approval to comply with federal acquisition regulations.
The purpose of this notice is to provide transparency regarding DISA's intent to award a sole source contract while allowing other potential contractors to challenge the determination if they believe they can provide equivalent capabilities. Companies that believe they can meet the requirements must submit a detailed capability statement in writing within five days of the September 5, 2025 notification, with the deadline falling on September 10, 2025. Interested contractors must demonstrate their ability to provide all necessary items specified in the requirement, and no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with preparing capability information. The contract will be classified under NAICS code 541519 for company size determination purposes, and all responsible sources will be considered in evaluating whether to proceed with the sole source award. Due to the sole source nature, no formal solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov, and responses to this notice cannot be accepted as quotations or proposals since it is not a request for quote or proposal.
