The Federal Bureau of Prisons is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Notice for the design, installation, testing, and commissioning of a Redundant Core Radio System at FCI Leavenworth in Kansas. This project aims to establish a fully interoperable backup for the enterprise radio network, providing operational continuity for the FCC Victorville and FCC Allenwood locations. The scope of work includes the construction of a 100-foot self-supporting radio tower compliant with ANSI/TIA-222 standards, a hardened equipment shelter with UL-752 firearm-rated walls and ASTM HMMA 863 Grade 1 security doors, and a 10-foot perimeter fence with barbed wire. The system must support P25 Phase II trunked radio systems, maintain backward compatibility with legacy Smartnet systems, and ensure interoperability between LTE and non-LTE subscribers. Technical requirements specify that all delivered radios must include GPS capability and meet AES-256 and FIPS 140-2/3 encryption standards. The installation must comply with NIST cybersecurity frameworks, DOJ-02, FISMA, FedRAMP, and CJIS standards. Performance will be validated through Factory Acceptance Tests prior to shipment and Site Acceptance Tests at the institution. The project has a performance period of 720 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Interested vendors are encouraged to attend a site visit on November 5, 2026, provided they submit required NCIC background check forms by October 28, 2026. The government is requesting capability statements and feedback on the Statement of Work, including experience with secure communications infrastructure and core-level integrations, to inform its final acquisition strategy.

Next Generation Tactical Radio (NGTR)
Solicitation # N00421-27-RFPREQ-TPM209-0199
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the Next Generation Tactical Radio (NGTR), a modular Software Defined Radio (SDR) for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. The NGTR is intended as a form, fit, and function backwards-compatible replacement for the ARC-210 Generation 5 and 6 radios. Key technical requirements include support for voice and data waveforms in the VHF and UHF bands with operational capabilities up to 6 GHz, including SINCGARS, MUOS, and Integrated Waveform SATCOM. The system must feature a small form factor weighing less than 12.2 pounds, a conduction-cooled design, and a modular High Assurance Device (HAD) to meet NSA cryptographic and Security Evaluation Requirements Document (SERD) standards. Additionally, the system must adhere to Zero Trust security architecture, Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls, and maintain a minimum MTBF of 7500 hours. The acquisition timeline anticipates an Industry Day in the first quarter of FY27, with a final RFP release in the fourth quarter of FY27 and a contract award in the second quarter of FY28, targeting fleet delivery by mid-2034. Eligible firms under NAICS code 334220 must demonstrate expertise in secure military SDRs, agile and modular development, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and proactive obsolescence management. Performance will be measured against rigorous military standards, including MIL-STD-461G for EMI and MIL-STD-704D/E for power. This current effort is a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry feedback on technical feasibility, timeline realism, and risk mitigation prior to the formal solicitation process.
