Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Defense is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gauge industry capabilities for a potential contract to manufacture radio installation kits. This market research is exploratory and does not guarantee a future Request for Proposal.

    The focus is on procuring production installation kits for integrating tactical radios into Army vehicles, with an anticipated five-year effort. The contract would involve fabricating kits based on existing Product Level Technical Data Packages (TDPs) provided by the government, with potential inclusion of future TDPs.

    The scope of work involves:

    • Fabrication of installation kits using TDPs, including Bills of Materials, data sheets, Computer-Aided Drawings, and vendor specs
    • Potential inclusion of future TDPs from various Army platforms
    • Ability to manage risks associated with obsolescence, tight schedules, subcontractors, and long lead times

    The following quantities are estimated for the production installation kits:

    • FY25: 2,400
    • FY26: 2,500
    • FY27-FY29: 2,000 per year

    To participate, vendors must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement to access a sample TDP and respond to the RFI. Responses should include:

    • Technical white paper (10 pages) outlining approaches to technical requirements
    • Capabilities white paper or briefing (5 pages) covering:
      • Company profile
      • Experience with similar DoD efforts
      • Certifications in ISO9001 and AS9100D
      • Production and financial capabilities
      • Ability to staff the effort

    Interested parties should submit their responses within 45 days of the RFI's publication. The government is currently considering a Firm Fixed Price contract for this effort.

    For clarity, potential applicants should direct questions to the points of contact provided: Nikiya Walden at nikiya.s.walden.civ@army.mil or 520-671-1321, and Sharon Peterson at sharon.a.peterson15.civ@army.mil or 520-671-4110.
