Solicitation # N0038326QNB29

This contract is for the procurement of 17 units of a flight critical display processor under NSN 7R-7010-015222097-LC, with delivery terms set as FOB Origin. Due to the critical nature of the part and the fact that essential technical data and manufacturing knowledge are held by specific sources, the government requires engineering source approval from the design control activity to ensure quality. The government intends to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1, though other responsible sources may submit capability statements or proposals within the specified timeframe for consideration. Prospective bidders who are not already approved sources must submit detailed information as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Source Approval Information Brochures. Failure to provide the required data or proof of a pending approval request will result in the proposal not being considered for award. The government maintains the discretion to proceed with a non-competitive award based on fleet support needs if new source approvals cannot be processed in time to meet operational requirements.

Integrated GOTS/NDI Systems and COTS Modular Enablers & Building Blocks

Solicitation # CHORUS26

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is conducting market research through solicitation CHORUS26 to identify domestic US-only vendors capable of providing radar electronic attack (EA) capabilities for Group 2-3 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The agency is exploring two primary pathways: integrated Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) or Non-Developmental Item (NDI) systems that have been proven for military use, and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) modular enablers such as RF System on Chip (RFSoC) technology, high-speed analog-to-digital converters, and edge compute chips. These technologies must operate across HF, VHF/UHF, L, S, C, and X bands while adhering to Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) and OMS standards. The objective is to develop robust, lightweight solutions that meet strict size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constraints. Key technical interests include EA techniques such as barrage noise, coherent spoofing, and collaborative cognitive control for EA swarms. The program targets a three to four year development window, with physical prototyping and demonstrations expected in the second or third year. This is a Request for Information (RFI) for planning purposes and does not constitute a formal request for proposal or a commitment to award a contract. Participation is strictly limited to US-owned businesses that comply with ITAR and EAR regulations, and foreign nationals are prohibited from participating in any phase of the effort. Responses are due by November 6, 2026.

All interested firms shall submit a response demonstrating their capability to provide these items to the Primary Point of Contact listed below. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DoD contract. No set-aside decision has been made.
