About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) AWACS and Wedgetail Contracting Office at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts is seeking to procure a comprehensive Radio System Upgrade (RSU) for the International Airborne Advance Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft fleet. The procurement involves a complete upgrade of Ultra-High Frequency (UHF)/Very-High Frequency (VHF) and High-Frequency (HF) radio suites, with integration and installation of radios providing Second Generation Anti-Jam Tactical UHF Radio for NATO (SATURN) and Tactical Secure Voice Cryptographic Interoperability Specification (TSVCIS) capabilities. Prospective bidders must possess SIPR e-mail access to receive classified technical documentation required for proposal submission, indicating that this is a classified procurement. The Final Offer and Proposal Request (FOPR) will be released exclusively on the General Services Administration (GSA) OASIS+ platform within the Technical and Engineering Domain during Q2 2026, with a Request for Proposal walk-through to be announced upon solicitation release. Interested contractors should monitor GSA OASIS+ for the formal solicitation announcement, as no proposals are being requested in response to this preliminary notice.
This pre-solicitation notice indicates no small business set-aside designation, and the contract is assigned Product Service Code N016 (Installation of Equipment/Aircraft Components and Accessories) and NAICS Code 541330 (Engineering Services). The notice does not identify any current incumbents or potential incumbent contractors, nor does it provide estimated award values or budget ranges for the project. While the pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 16, 2026, with a due date of May 8, 2026, this date likely applies only to the pre-solicitation notice itself rather than formal proposal submission, as the actual FOPR is targeted for release in Q2 2026. The May 30, 2026 update clarified that classified documents will be distributed exclusively through SIPRNet e-mail, with no alternative delivery methods such as JWICS being available. Bidders should prepare for a classified procurement requiring appropriate security clearances and document handling procedures.
