About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Communications Information Agency (NCIA) to identify potential sources for UHF Tactical Satellite (TACSAT) radio systems. The procurement seeks up to 519 ruggedized dual-channel radio terminals in fixed site, man-portable, and mobile configurations, with specific technical requirements including operation in the 291-318.3 MHz transmit and 243-270 MHz receive frequency ranges. Interested contractors must demonstrate capability to deliver systems that are JITC-certified for NATO Integrated Waveform and approved for U.S. Type 1 and NATO SECAN secure communications. All responses must be submitted electronically to Contract Specialist Naomi Hooks by February 5, 2024, at 4:00 PM EDT, with comprehensive documentation of technical capabilities and potential delivery timelines. The RFI process follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 10 guidelines for market research.
The contract opportunity falls under NAICS category 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, with a potential small business set-aside depending on market research responses. The planned procurement includes three delivery batches over 36 months, with the first batch of approximately 172 systems due within six months of contract award, targeted for completion by December 2024. Contractor personnel must be clearable to NATO Secret level, and the contract will be subject to Berry Amendment specialty metals restrictions. While no specific award value is currently disclosed, the complexity and quantity of radio systems suggest a significant potential contract value. The government emphasizes that this is a market research effort and not a formal solicitation, with no compensation provided for responses and no commitment to future procurement.
