The Department of Defense, specifically the Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM), is preparing to procure a Tactical Radio Intermediate Test System (TRITS) through full and open competition. This system is designed to perform automated fault isolation tests on existing and future tactical ground radio systems, requiring capabilities for both manual and automated testing, a compact design within a single transit case, and compatibility with a standard 120V power source. The TRITS is crucial for ensuring the operational readiness of tactical communication systems, with a Request for Proposal (RFP) anticipated for release in late September 2025. Interested vendors should prepare to provide a Test Program Set (TPS) as part of their bid sample, preferably for the AN/PRC-117G, and may contact Contract Specialist Mark Denhup at mark.denhup2@usmc.mil for further information.
