About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center seeks to procure NSA Type-1 certified Secure CDL ISR (SCISR) communications radios, which are software-defined radios designed for integration into the Sky Tower II Airborne Network Extension Pod for USMC MQ-9 platforms. This procurement supports secure, high-bandwidth communications capable of transmitting imagery and full-motion video with data rates up to 45 Mbps while maintaining a compact form factor and low size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP) profile. The equipment must comply with MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F standards, and STANAG 7085 requirements. The government intends to conduct a sole-source award without competitive proposals; however, interested parties may submit capability statements by the April 3, 2026 deadline to demonstrate their ability to meet the requirement. The government will evaluate all responses received prior to the closing date solely to determine whether to pursue a competitive procurement, with the final decision remaining at government discretion.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is currently intended as a sole-source award to Rockwell Collins (CAGE: 13499), identified as the sole developer, manufacturer, and distributor of the certified SCISR radio. The estimated contract value is $650,000 on a firm-fixed-price basis, with an anticipated award date of April 3, 2027 and a period of performance extending from April 3 to January 1, 2027. The procurement is structured under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-1, which permits sole-source awards when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services satisfy agency requirements. Interested parties should submit written responses via email to the provided government contact; no phone inquiries will be accepted.
