The Department of Defense through the 763rd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron is seeking industry input via a Request for Information for flight antennas and rechargeable battery systems to support tactical communications. The technical requirements specify five critical components: the MP-3512/TG Gooseneck antenna operating in the 30-512 MHz band, the 1Y58950 antenna supporting 225-450 MHz and 1250-2700 MHz, the 12500-2500-02 rechargeable 7.0 amp-hour lithium-ion battery in green housing, the E45-0070-414 EPDM O-ring with 70 durometer hardness and 14mm inner diameter for environmental sealing, and the BT-70791CK BB-2590/U lithium-ion battery with 251Wh capacity. All components must meet exact form, fit, and function criteria, comply with MIL-STD-810 for environmental ruggedization, maintain 50-ohm impedance and VSWR performance standards, and ensure interoperability with existing military radio and MANET systems. Non-OEM substitutions are prohibited, particularly for battery products, to preserve system certifications. Respondents must provide a brief capability statement including business name, contact details, CAGE and UEI codes, size status, socioeconomic certifications, and subcontractor information. The RFI explicitly states it is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or obligation to award a contract. Proposals must be submitted via email to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer no later than May 1, 2026, at 12:00 PM CST. The place of performance is identified as Georgia, ZIP 31313, while the contracting office is located at Scott AFB, Illinois. No contract value, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or formal evaluation criteria are provided, as this is strictly an information-gathering tool. The solicitation references FAR clause 52.219-14 regarding limitations on subcontracting for small businesses but contains no other formal contract clauses or special requirements beyond submission instructions, which emphasize the need for complete business identification and compliance with socioeconomic certifications.
