The U.S. Army is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) numbered W15P7T-24-R-0035 to gather market research for the Single Channel Assured voice and data Radio (SCAR). The research aims to identify innovative sources capable of cost-effective production and sustainment strategies.

Interested vendors are required to submit unclassified white papers detailing their existing or forthcoming products, ensuring compliance with the Draft Performance Specifications outlined. The Army seeks technologically advanced solutions for voice and data communications compatible with the Integrated Tactical Network. Key considerations include production readiness, low-cost strategies, and capabilities for immediate delivery by 2025. The RFI clarifies that no contracts will be awarded through this document, and no government funds have been allocated for the effort. Detailed submissions must include company size, production capabilities, and potential challenges in execution. Furthermore, the Army anticipates industry discussions post-submission to enhance their understanding of the market landscape. Interested vendors should be mindful of controlled information dissemination requirements and adhere strictly to the submission guidelines presented, including deadlines and response formats.
