Sources Sought for P3I Industry Day

The Request for Information (RFI) from the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEW&S) seeks industry input for the upcoming Technical Integration for Ground Systems (TIGS) System of Systems (SoS) Industry Day. This initiative aims to identify capable vendors for a U.S. Army satellite communication system, which consists of vehicles and shelters equipped with various technologies. Interested companies must respond affirmatively to three specific qualifications regarding their capabilities in surveillance production, personnel clearances, and facility security standards. Responses are solicited for market research only, and no proposals or contracts will result from this RFI. Interested parties must submit their responses by January 28, 2025, through designated email channels, ensuring they meet all outlined requirements—failure to comply will disqualify them from participating in the Industry Day. The notice underscores the government’s intent to gather information while limiting sources to those with proven competencies.

The document outlines questions and answers from an Industry Day concerning the TIGS (Tactical Intelligence Ground System) program, specifically focusing on the transition from the TIGS v1 to the TIGS v2 prototype. Key points include the provision of Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) such as vehicles and generators, the requirement for Common Operating Equipment, and clarification on the design and production trajectory for the TIGS variants under a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (MAIDIQ) contract. The document indicates that engineering development will not transition to full-scale production of the TIGS v1, and that the goal is to gather user feedback through the v2 test phase. Additional details addressed include anticipated timelines, constraints around technology security levels, and considerations for future upgrades and integrations. The document repeatedly emphasizes that the results of market research and Industry Day feedback will inform decisions around contract awards and task order structuring, while confirming the expectation of competition among vendors. Overall, this document serves to clarify aspects of the acquisition strategy within the Army’s competitive procurement process.

The document outlines the agenda and additional information for the Tactical Integrated Ground Suite (TIGS) Industry Day set for April 15-17, 2025, at the Radiance Technologies Corporate Office in Huntsville, Alabama. The agenda includes arrival and check-in times, followed by a series of breakout sessions led by various companies involved in the TIGS project, covering topics like design, prototyping, and production. To participate, companies must submit capability briefs detailing their competencies for the anticipated Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (MAIDIQ) contract, with submissions due by April 9, 2025. Attendees, limited to three per company with required Top Secret clearance and U.S. citizenship, must also submit a Visit Authorization Request. The purpose of the Industry Day is to gather market insights, and the government will not provide immediate responses to inquiries during the sessions. Questions will be documented and answered collectively afterward. This event serves as a preparatory step for potential contracting opportunities, emphasizing regulatory compliance and national security considerations.
