Shout TSW Devices

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source contract for specialized tracking devices. The agency plans to procure 53 DOD-provisioned, Iridium short burst data tracking devices with custom configurations from TBI, the exclusive manufacturer of these specific devices. The procurement includes HHTSW-001 devices featuring removable Iridium antennas, emergency buttons, AES 256 encryption, and integration capabilities with SIPR/NIPR/JWICS networks. Each device will be custom configured with unique encryption keys and integrated with the Scry Tactical System. The complete package encompasses 55 devices, USB cables, wall chargers, external Iridium antennas, system configuration, integration, testing, and one year of technical support.

The purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to award a sole source purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with an anticipated award date of July 9, 2025. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties who believe they can meet the specified requirements are invited to submit information in writing by the closing date of July 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time. The sole source justification is based on TBI's exclusive capability to provide fully interoperable devices compatible with NORTHCOM, PACOM, SOUTHCOM, and State Department systems. Contractors must demonstrate ability to provide the specialized tracking devices with unique features including customized emergency routing, remote commanding capabilities, C2 integration via Scry and SOF CS Suite, and 24/7-365 support services. The devices must be procured, activated, integrated, and operationally tested prior to shipping, with configurations tailored to specific user requirements.
