321 STS - DC2 Comm WAPTAC Equipment

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for procuring Romeo Six Tactical Distributed Command and Control (DC2) communications equipment for the 321st Special Tactics Squadron (321 STS) at Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath. The primary objective is to modernize the squadron's tactical C2 infrastructure, extending reliable command and control capabilities to dismounted operators at the tactical edge in contested environments. Under this contract, the vendor must provide all personnel, equipment, and materials to deliver three Romeo Six Tactical C2 Boxes along with specialized sled adapters. These adapters (SLED-DACAS, SLED-HH-01, SLED-HH-02, SLED-MP-01, and SLED-MP-02) will enable integration and communication with the squadron's existing inventory of tactical radios, including AN/PRC-161, 163, 117G, 158, 167, and 160 models. The total estimated cost for the equipment and delivery is $326,891.01. The contractor is responsible for contract management, administration, and coordination. No installation services are required from the contractor, but the final setup must support airfield sealing operations. The SOW details strict security, safety, and base access protocols for RAF Lakenheath. Additionally, it outlines specific shipping instructions (FOB Destination) and weight/dimension limits for vendors operating inside the United Kingdom, as well as international shipping options using the USPS, commercial small parcel carriers, or consolidated military shipping points.

This combined synopsis/solicitation (FA558726Q0035) is issued by the 48th Contracting Squadron as a Request for Quote (RFQ) to acquire DC2 Comm WAPTAC Equipment. The procurement is conducted under FAR Part 12 for commercial products and services as a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract. Due to the overseas location of the requirement, no set-aside will be applied. To be eligible for award, vendors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and provide their CAGE or NCAGE code on the required Quote Sheet (Attachment 2). Technical documentation must not exceed 20 pages and must demonstrate how the proposed products meet the specifications in the Statement of Work (Attachment 1), along with a projected delivery timeline. Prices must remain valid for 60 calendar days, and any non-USD quotes will be converted using official defense comptroller rates. Award will be determined on a best-value basis by weighing technical capability and price, though the government reserves the right to award to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer if no proposals exceed the minimum criteria. Notably, funds are not currently available for this effort, and the government holds no obligation for vendor costs if the solicitation is canceled. Questions are due by August 14, 2026, and final quotes must be submitted via email to 2d Lt Logan Villanueva and Claire Switzer by August 31, 2026, at 07:00 BST.
