    The General Services Administration (GSA) seeks to gather information through a Sources Sought Notice (SS) regarding the Data Transfer Module II Removable Memory Modules (DRMMs) for the F-15 E/EX aircraft. This SS aims to assess market capabilities for production-ready DRMMs, specifically those at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 8 or higher, and is not a request for a proposal. The document outlines the technical requirements for the DRMMs, which include attributes such as weight limits, data transfer rates, durability under combat conditions, and the ability to interface with ground station equipment. Key components required encompass Operations and Maintenance DRMMs with specified storage capacities and quick removal mechanisms. Responses are due by May 5, 2025, with detailed instructions for interested vendors emphasizing technical maturity and production timelines. The results of this research will aid the GSA in determining future acquisition strategies, potentially including small business set-asides. This exercise reflects the government's ongoing endeavor to modernize its military equipment while ensuring readiness and efficiency in data handling during missions.
