Wireless Connectivity Mobile Tactical Networking System

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is seeking to procure a Wireless Connectivity Mobile Tactical Networking System through a pre-solicitation notice posted on August 11, 2025. The requirement involves four rugged, mobile tactical networking systems designed to enhance military communication capabilities across ground, vehicular, and airborne operations. These mission-critical tactical communications kits must provide secure, reliable, and highly mobile connectivity for deployed personnel operating in austere environments. Key technical specifications include high-assurance IP encryptors with NIPRNet and SIPRNet capabilities providing at least 8 ports for each network, integrated crypto capabilities, multiple internet connectivity options including 5G cellular and Starlink/Ethernet, and portable design suitable for individual transport. The systems must feature internal battery power using military standard radio batteries, rugged construction capable of withstanding drops and weather conditions, and integrated crypto sleds compatible with systems like KG-175N or KG-250XS. Interested parties have until August 20, 2025, to respond to this pre-solicitation opportunity. The solicitation is classified under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 5810 for Communications Security Equipment and Components.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business entities. The Statement of Work specifically calls for four complete tactical networking systems, indicating a relatively small quantity procurement focused on specialized military communication equipment. The systems are intended for the 305 Operations Group and must address evolving challenges faced by warfighters in diverse operational environments. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the available documentation. The timeline appears to be expedited, with only nine days between the posting date and the response deadline, suggesting urgency in the Air Mobility Command's communication capability requirements. The portable nature of the equipment and emphasis on individual transport capability indicates these systems are designed for rapid deployment scenarios where traditional communication infrastructure may be unavailable or compromised.
