About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is seeking prospective contractors for the procurement of Klystron Tubes for the Homing All the Way Killer (HAWK) Missile System. This Request for Information is part of the pre-solicitation phase and requires interested contractors to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities and past performance. Key requirements include submission of past experience with relevant U.S. Government contracts, complete with contract numbers, award dates, and points of contact; estimated pricing for specified parts; and technical documentation demonstrating established quality assurance and hazardous materials management plans. Contractors must provide evidence of qualified personnel, necessary equipment, test capabilities, and compliance with MIL STD packaging requirements for classified and magnetized items. Critically, prospective vendors must possess source control documents from the original equipment manufacturer, including all drawings, software, and technical data packages, as well as special acceptance and inspection equipment for post-testing; the government will not provide either. Additionally, contractors must maintain a facility with at least CONFIDENTIAL clearance level and a current DSS inspection certificate. Responses to this Request for Information are due by April 11, 2026, with the posted date of March 11, 2026.

This procurement utilizes no set-aside designations and operates on an all-or-nothing basis, meaning selected contractors must be capable of fulfilling the entire requirement. No incumbent contractor information or specific award value has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. While the notice does not specify quantities, delivery timelines, or budget ranges, the specialized nature of the procurement and stringent technical requirements indicate this is a highly controlled, defense-critical component acquisition. The classification requirements and need for existing manufacturing infrastructure suggest this procurement targets experienced, established vendors with existing relationships to defense industrial base suppliers. This Request for Information is explicitly stated as being for planning purposes only and does not constitute a binding commitment or obligation for the government to issue a formal solicitation.
