Tactical Radio Intermediate Test Set (TRITS) Request for Proposal (RFP)

The United States Marine Corps seeks proposals for the Tactical Radio Intermediate Test Set (TRITS), an automated bench-top test system designed to support intermediate maintenance activities for tactical radio systems at the line replaceable unit and shop replacement unit levels. The TRITS must be a portable, integrated platform weighing no more than 102 pounds, operable from a standard 120V single-phase 60Hz power source, and capable of performing 19 distinct instrumentation functions including RF signal generation and reception across 1.5 MHz to 6 GHz, various modulation analysis capabilities, and digital signal analysis. Proposals will be evaluated on four primary factors: Technical Approach (including compliance with the Performance Specification and evaluation of production representative samples), Past Performance, Small Business Participation (with a government goal of 5% small business subcontracting for large business offerors), and Price. The proposal submission deadline is March 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with production representative product samples and technical demonstrations required on the same date at Naval Warfare Information Center in Charleston, South Carolina. Offerors must submit two electronic copies of their proposals (one business volume and one technical volume in Microsoft Office and PDF formats) with specific page limits: Executive Summary (5 pages), Technical Approach (20 pages), Past Performance (10 pages), and Small Business Participation (5 pages).

This is a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside solicitation structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity firm fixed-price contract with a minimum order value of $200,000 and a maximum contract value of $19,800,000 over a 60-month period divided into five ordering periods. The contract requires delivery of TRITS systems and associated Test Program Sets for multiple tactical radio platforms including AN/PRC-117G, AN/PRC-158, AN/PRC-160, AN/PRC-163, and AN/PRC-167, along with comprehensive technical manuals, training products, and provisioning documentation. Key deliverables include a Preliminary Draft Technical Manual due 60 working days after contract award, Draft Technical Manual due 90 working days after award, and instructor and key personnel training to be conducted at Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School in Twentynine Palms, California. The place of performance is Quantico, Virginia, with initial delivery orders directed to Hanahan, South Carolina unless modified by contract amendment, and the Defense Contract Management Agency will administer the contract. The solicitation includes strict technical specifications requiring a mean time between failures of 1,500 hours, 1 Hz frequency resolution, 0.1 ppm/year aging for the internal reference oscillator, and at least 30 percent of instrumentation to utilize open system architecture such as PXI/PXIe.
