The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, is conducting market research via a Request for Information (RFI) to advance the sustainment of the AN/MST-T1(V) Miniature Multiple Threat Emitter System (Mini-MUTES) transmitters. The goal is to perform a comprehensive engineering and obsolescence study aimed at identifying all obsolete components within the transmitters, including magnetrons, power supplies, and circuit cards, for which the Government currently has no existing inventory or documentation. Industry respondents are expected to deliver a detailed analysis and a recommended path forward to refurbish or replace these parts while preserving the original core design of the system. A secondary consideration is the feasibility of a full system redesign using modern components, provided it maintains interoperability with legacy systems and meets required power output standards. The study is intended to lay the foundational scope, cost, technical requirements, and timeline for a future modernization effort that will ensure system operation through 2045. Responses to this RFI are due by July 3, 2026, and must be submitted electronically in PDF format, not exceeding ten pages excluding the cover page, using Times New Roman 12-point font and one-inch margins. All submissions must be unclassified, and any proprietary or sensitive information must be clearly marked and segregated. Respondents are required to provide full company details including CAGE code, SAM registration status, ownership classification, and NAICS code 334511, and must be registered in the System for Award Management to be eligible for future contract consideration. Organizational conflicts of interest related to future modernization of the UMTE transmitters must be evaluated and disclosed to the Contracting Officer per FAR 9.5, as the Government may require an OCI mitigation plan for the next phase. While this RFI is not a solicitation and carries no financial obligation, anticipated future contract types may include a mix of Firm Fixed Price and Cost-Plus Fixed Fee arrangements. The Government reserves the right to establish a small business set-aside based on the responses received. All work is projected to last one year and will be performed at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

Miniature Multiple Threat System (Mini-MUTES) Transmitter Engineering and Obsolescence Study


See attached RFI document for more information.


UPDATE 6/24/2026


Industry Question: Does the government already have a list of all the known obsolescent parts within the Mini-MUTES? Or is the government looking to industry to identify this as part of the engineering and obsolescence study?


Government Answer: The Government does not have a list of known obsolescent parts within the Mini-MUTES transmitters. We are looking to industry to perform this as part of the engineering and obsolescence study.


Industry Question: Is this anticipated work for the Mini-MUTES to study and replace the obsolete components while keeping the original core design in-tact? Or, is this effort envisioned to be a complete system redesign with modern components, yet still maintain interface interoperability with legacy systems?


Government Answer: The engineering study would be to look at replacing or re-engineering the obsolete components while keeping the original core design in-tact. However, if a redesign with modern components, while maintaining interface interoperability and meeting the power output requirements is possible that would be a consideration as well.
