Solicitation # sUAS_RPRD_2026
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) has issued a presolicitation Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number sUAS_RPRD_2026 to identify domestically produced, production-ready Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) and related components. The effort is organized around five lines of effort: hardware, software, communications, sensors, and kinetics. These capabilities are intended to support five specific missions, including Long Range and Medium Range One Way Attack, Air Interdiction, Air Launched Effects, and Medium Range Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance. The government is specifically interested in Group 1, 2, and 3 platforms, with a requirement that production-ready systems be available within six months of a potential contract award. Key requirements emphasize strict regulatory and security compliance, including adherence to section 848 of the FY 2020 NDAA, FAA regulations, and ITAR export controls. Systems must feature robust cybersecurity and anti-tamper protections to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. Respondents must provide detailed company information, including their SAM registration, CAGE code, and small business status, while disclosing any non-U.S. manufacturing. As this is currently an RFI for market research purposes, it does not constitute a formal solicitation, and no formal contract value or award evaluation factors have been established. Responses are due by November 30, 2026.

NOAAPort Replacement Capabilities
Solicitation # 142083-27-0002
The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Weather Service (NWS) have issued Request for Information (RFI) No. 142083-27-0002 to conduct market research for the replacement of the legacy NOAAPort Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN). The government is seeking information on innovative, high-reliability distribution capabilities—which could be cloud-based, terrestrial, satellite, or hybrid—to deliver mission-critical weather data to a geographically dispersed user community. The replacement system must support the exchange, ingestion, processing, and distribution of data products and must integrate with the NWS Hydrometeorological Interactive Virtual Environment (HIVE) and the Centralized Integrated Real-Time Repository for Unified Services (CIRRUS) using common internet protocols such as APIs and MQTT. This notice is for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation for award; no funds have been authorized or appropriated for this effort at this time. The NWS intends to deactivate the legacy SBN as early as August 31, 2027, and is requesting industry feedback on technical architectures, cloud migration strategies, security protocols, and rough order of magnitude cost estimates. Interested respondents must submit their responses in Microsoft Word or PDF format to the designated points of contact by October 29, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The government is utilizing this RFI to inform its acquisition strategy and evaluate potential small business set-aside opportunities under NAICS code 541512.
