Radio Frequency Interference Monitoring (RFIMS)

The Department of Interior published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. for continued operations, maintenance, and sustainment of the Radio Frequency Monitoring System. The five-year contract aims to provide operator training, software and database support, hardware maintenance, and quarterly component maintenance for the system.

The Notice seeks to have L3Harris continue performing these services as the only qualified vendor due to owning patented algorithms and manufacturing capabilities integral to the specialized system. Interested parties have until October 27th to question this determination or claim ability to fully meet requirements. While the agency reserves discretion over conducting further competition, responses should provide documentation demonstrating capability to perform all required RFIMS functions. The contract award is scheduled for January 7th, with L3Harris providing ongoing services if deemed the sole-source.
