The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, specifically the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance and Special Operations Forces Directorate, is conducting market research to identify capable sources for a man-portable Kinetic Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems capability. This technology is intended to detect, disrupt, and defeat hostile or unauthorized drones. This effort is currently in the Sources Sought Synopsis and Request for Information phase, meaning it is for informational purposes to help the government develop its acquisition strategy and performance specifications rather than a formal solicitation. Interested parties must submit their responses by October 28, 2026, under solicitation number FA8629-26-R-5018. The project falls under NAICS code 334511 and is managed by the Department of Defense at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The government will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to this request, and vendors are responsible for marking any proprietary information within their submissions.

Norbit Multibeam Echo Equipment and Accessories
Solicitation # HQ0034-26-Q-E268
Solicitation HQ003426QE268 is a brand-name restricted procurement issued by the Washington Headquarters Services for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). The requirement is for the procurement and delivery of a Norbit WINGHEAD X Elite Multibeam sonar system and associated accessories, including a long-range license, AML SV Profiler, carbon fiber mounting pole, and a Norbit-ready portable computer. This equipment is designed to provide sub-centimeter bathymetric data to enhance the DPAA's ability to detect and map seafloor objects, thereby increasing the efficiency of recovery investigations and improving the safety of dive operation planning. The total estimated value of the action is 350,000 dollars, and the contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price award. The equipment must be delivered as new and in original manufacturer packaging to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, with an expected delivery timeline of 30 days after order receipt. Award will be granted based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, requiring offerors to be verified authorized Norbit partners or resellers. Technical acceptability is based on strict brand compliance and alignment with the Statement of Work. The contractor is responsible for all secure packaging, insurance, and freight tracking, and must adhere to MIL-STD-130 and MIL-STD-129 for item unique identification and shipment labeling. Technical training as part of a two-day package is also required as a key deliverable.

Next Generation Operational Control System (NGOCS)
Solicitation # FA8629-26-R-5017
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Special Warfare Program Office, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis and Request for Information to identify capable sources for the Next Generation Operational Control System (NGOCS). The objective is to address a critical capability gap where operators currently lack a lightweight, ruggedized, and modular body-worn architecture for power, data, and edge-compute. This deficiency forces End User Devices to handle all processing and routing, leading to latency and power bottlenecks during high-tempo combat operations. The NGOCS is intended to be a tactical hardware and software solution that routes bidirectional IP and serial data between an End User Device and various government-furnished radios and peripherals. The system must feature a hub and compute module that mounts to tactical gear via PALS/MOLLE webbing, with a threshold weight of 8 pounds and an objective of 4 pounds. Technical requirements are stringent, demanding compliance with MIL-STD-810G/H for environmental tolerances, MIL-STD-461G for electromagnetic compatibility, and IP67/IP68 for ingress protection. Security is a primary focus, requiring the use of volatile memory for classified data to ensure sanitization upon power loss, as well as documented data-at-rest protections and secure boot verification. The software must utilize a well-documented Open API for third-party integration and adhere to open, published standards such as USB 2.0 and NATO STANAGs. Interested respondents under NAICS 541512 must submit a response by October 22, 2026, including a rough order of magnitude cost estimate and detailed compliance matrices. The government is seeking information on manufacturing readiness, security certifications such as NIAP or CSfC, and the ability to meet small business subcontracting limitations. Responses must include a completed technical questionnaire and a requirements compliance matrix using specific codes to indicate whether the solution is compliant off-the-shelf, requires modification, or is non-compliant.
