AI Contract Overview
SOFWERX, in partnership with the USSOCOM Program Executive Office for Tactical Information Systems, is hosting an Industry Day focused on advancing communications capabilities for dismounted warfighters through Key Leader Radios, Intra Team Radios, and Team Networking Devices. This event is strictly informational and not an RFP, intended to map current industry innovations and technological readiness levels, with priority given to solutions at Technology Readiness Level 7 and above. Participants must be U.S.-based entities and are encouraged to demonstrate open architecture designs that allow third-party waveform integration without OEM dependency and comply with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 security standards. The initiative aligns with 10 U.S.C. §4022 and §4022(f) as a pre-solicitation market research effort under FAR 5.204, signaling potential future non-FAR or FAR-based agreements with industry, academic, or national laboratory partners selected for technical merit. The timeline begins with a virtual Q&A session on 8 July 2026 to clarify technology objectives, followed by a deadline of 15 July 2026 for requests to attend the in-person and virtual Industry Day scheduled for 11–13 August 2026 in Tampa, Florida. Submissions are reviewed for potential to meet operational needs, with selected participants receiving invitations to conduct one-on-one demonstrations and discussions with the USSOCOM evaluation panel. No formal assessments or evaluations will occur during the event; instead, findings will inform future acquisition pathways. Participation requires RSVPs to the Q&A and formal requests to attend by the stated deadlines, along with review of provided read-ahead documents detailing technical expectations for each device category. Primary contact for event inquiries is Olivia Larounis, with additional support from Juanita Bell and James Helmick.

Full Description
Request to Attend NLT 15 July 2026 11:59 PM ET
U.S. Companies Only
Purpose
SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM Program Executive Office Tactical Information Systems (PEO-TIS), will host an Industry Day to gain a better understanding of the current market and the technical capabilities of a Key Leader Radio (KLR), an Intra Team Radio (ITR), and a Team Networking Device (TND). This effort is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP).
Background
USSOCOM has a critical need for reliable and secure communications for dismounted warfighters operating in a variety of challenging environments, including those that have denied, degraded, intermittent, and low-latency communication operational areas. Key Leader Radios (KLR), Intra Team Radios (ITR), and Team Networking Devices (TND) provide a multi-platform communications strategy enabling resilient, self-healing, and autonomous solutions for voice transmission, data transmission, and networking capabilities at the team and leadership levels.
Objective
This event is seeking information on products with priority given to capabilities with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 and above, that could potentially fulfill USSOCOM's operational requirements. PEO-TIS is interested in design and capability that provides an open architecture design capable of third-party waveform porting without Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) engagement, as well as products compliant with FIPS 140-3 Level 3.
Why You Should Participate
USSOCOM seeks to enter into non-FAR or FAR-based agreements with Industry, Academic, and National Lab partners whose solutions are favorably evaluated by PEO-TIS Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). As such, the follow-on Assessment Event (AE) is considered competitive and solutions will be evaluated independently of one another primarily for technical merit. This serves dually as notification of the intent to research the feasibility of an agreement under 10 U.S. Code, Section 4022 and/or Section 4022(f), and as notice of pre-solicitation activities IAW FAR 5.204.
