Request for Information (RFI) – Modular Tactical Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) EW System

Solicitation # FA8629-27-R-5005

The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, specifically the Special Warfare Program Office, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis and Request for Information under solicitation FA8629-27-R-5005. The government is seeking to identify capable sources for a body-worn, modular tactical Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare system characterized by low size, weight, and power. The system must support full spectrum signals prosecution in adverse environments, including the ability to detect, identify, and direction-find threat signals while stationary or on the move. Key technical requirements include interoperability with Android S20TE and S23TE devices, connectivity via mesh networks, and electronic warfare attack capabilities with tunable output power. Objective goals include Mil-STD-810G compliance, operation between -30C and +55C, and support for advanced jamming techniques such as predictive and reactive hop-set jamming. This RFI is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to procure items. Interested respondents must submit a maximum 15-page response by 12:00 PM Eastern time on November 18, 2026. Submissions must include company identification, socioeconomic status, technical capabilities, and a rough order of magnitude cost estimate. The government also requires information regarding the ability to deliver two units within six months of an order and confirmation of compliance with the Buy American Act or Berry Amendment. Additionally, respondents must address compliance with FAR 52.219-14 regarding limitations on subcontracting and FAR 52.219-33 regarding the Non-Manufacturer Rule if the requirement is set aside for small businesses.

AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intends to award a sole source contract to Exail, Inc. of Denver, Colorado, for replacement parts for the Exail Quadrans G2 Fiber Optic Gyrocompass systems installed on the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. This procurement is justified on the grounds that Exail is the exclusive manufacturer and intellectual property owner of the Quadrans G2 gyrocompass, with no authorized distributors or resellers, and its proprietary technology is integral to the vessel’s navigation architecture. The existing fleet of NOAA research vessels relies on these systems for seamless integration with ECDIS, autopilot, and other bridge systems, and substituting non-OEM components would risk incompatibility, loss of IMO compliance, warranty invalidation, and mission-critical downtime during sensitive oceanographic and hydrographic operations. The requirement is further supported by the Coast and Geodetic Survey Act, which mandates precise navigation data for hydrographic surveying, and by reliability data showing Exail’s gyrocompasses offer a mean time between failure of 150,000 hours—far exceeding competitors’ systems, which average under 50,000 hours. This procurement, conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), is not open to competitive bidding, though interested parties may submit written documentation within 15 days of the notice to challenge the sole source determination. The response deadline is August 4, 2026, and all submissions must be directed to Christopher Baker at NOAA. Performance will be in Honolulu, Hawaii, and the contract is tied to the solicitation number 140802-26-0534 under NAICS code 334511.

Full Description

***NOAA'S MARINE OPERATION CENTER ACQUISITION BRANCH*** OFFICE OF MARINE AND AVIATION OPERATIONS (OMAO), MARINE OPERAITONS ENGINEERING OFFICE INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH EXAIL, INC, OUT OF DENVER, CO FOR EXAIL GYROCOMPASS REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR NOAA SHIP OKEANOS EXPLORER.

THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT EXAIL, INC IS THE SOLE MANUFACTURER AND PROVIDER OF EXAIL GYROCOMPASS REPLACEMENT PARTS. EXAIL, INC DOES NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORIZED PARTNERS/RESELLERS WHO CAN PROVIDE THESE GYROCOMPASS, PARTS.

􀆔 Compatibility with Existing Fleet Navigation Architecture: NOAA Marine Operations

vessels currently operate Exail (formerly iXblue) Fiber Optic Gyrocompass (FOG) systems.

Acquiring identical OEM Quadrans G2 units ensures seamless plug-and-play

interchangeability with existing shipboard mounting, power distribution, signal cables, and

data interface protocols without requiring costly structural or electronic reconfigurations.

􀆔 Proprietary Technology and System Firmware: Exail is the sole designer, original

equipment manufacturer, and intellectual property owner of the Quadrans G2 system,

proprietary fiber optic sensor technology, and embedded operational software/firmware.

􀆔 Risk of Alternate Sources: Installing non-OEM gyrocompass systems or sourcing through

unauthorized third parties would introduce critical operational risks, including potential data

protocol incompatibilities with primary shipboard navigation suites, loss of IMO compliance certification, invalidation of existing fleet warranties, and unacceptable vessel

downtime during mission-critical oceanographic operations.

NOAA maintains a fleet of Research vessels performing Oceanographic research and Hydrographic surveys. To standardize the fleet, the majority of the NOAA Fleet have been outfitted with EXAIL GYROCOMPASSES.

THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY ACT (33 U.S.C. § 883A) MANDATES ACCURATE AND RELIABLE NAVIGATION DATA FOR HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYING AND OCEANOGRAPHIC OPERATIONS.

THE EXAIL GYROCOMPASS are compatible with the NOAA SHIP OKEANOS EXPLORER navigation systems such as electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS), AUTOPILOT and other Integrated bridge systems.

EXAIL INC. IS THE SOLE SUPPLIER OF THE GYROCOMPASS PARTS SPECIFIED FOR ACQUISITION. THEY OWN THE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS TO THE PRODUCT, SUPPORT AND INSTALLATION. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORIZED PARTNERS OR RESELLERS.

MARKET RESEARCH FOUND GYROCOMPASS MANUFACTURERS INCLUDE SPERRY, RAYTHEON, TELEDYNE (MERIDIAN), EXAIL, KVH AND OTHERS. THE MEAN TIME BETWEEN FAILURE (MTBF) RELIABILITY OF ALL GYROCOMPASSES OTHER THAN EXAIL WERE UNDER 50,000 HOURS FOR THE SYSTEMS THAT MET THE PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS. EXAIL’S GYROCOMPASSES HAVE A MTBF OF 150,000 HOURS.

THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
