About this opportunity
The Department of the Army's Project Manager for Tactical Radios (PM TR) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to assess industry capabilities for Sensitive But Unclassified - Encrypted (SBU-E) Transport Hardware for tactical voice and data communications. The procurement targets advanced radio communication solutions for a Heavy Infantry Division, with a focus on multi-band operation across UHF, L, S, and C bands, and the ability to deliver 50 Mbps data rates. The Army is seeking solutions with network resilience, low probability of intercept/detect capabilities, and Software Defined Radio (SDR) architectures that can adapt to evolving electronic warfare threats. Interested vendors must submit a comprehensive white paper response by April 25, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST via email to Contracting Officer Jennifer Anderson and Contract Specialist Geoffrey Erhart. The RFI requires detailed technical responses covering basic features, scalability, range, voice/data capabilities, environmental performance, platform integration, system interoperability, security, and spectrum utilization.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category and falls under NAICS Code 334220 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The Army anticipates acquiring 6,000 transport solutions, comprising 3,223 dismounted and 2,777 mounted units for various military platforms including tracked vehicles, rotary wing aircraft, and brigade combat team vehicles. Delivery is scheduled to commence on November 1, 2025, and complete by March 1, 2026, with performance occurring at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the RFI emphasizes this is a market research effort, and the government is not obligated to make an award based on the responses. Vendors will not be reimbursed for preparation costs, and no solicitation document currently exists, making this a preliminary exploration of potential technical solutions for tactical communications hardware.
