The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI), is seeking information regarding the Next Generation Transponders (NGT) II, aimed at enhancing asset tracking capabilities through cellular and satellite technologies. This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to gather insights on the availability of non-proprietary, Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) products and technical engineering services that can support logistics and asset visibility for the Department of Defense. The NGT technology will play a crucial role in tracking assets worldwide, and the Army is particularly interested in battery-operated cellular, satellite, and hybrid transponders that can facilitate this initiative. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their responses to Mr. John Kerch and Mr. Benjamin Geringer by October 25, 2024, at 1:00 PM CT, with no obligation for the Government to award a contract based on the information provided.
