RFI Tactical Cache System

The Ministry of Defence, specifically the Royal Navy, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number MEGRFI/01013 to identify suppliers capable of research, development, and experimentation (RD&E) for a modular Tactical Cache System. The objective is to develop a scalable system for the protected storage, handling, and management of authorized equipment and commodities within austere operating environments. Key capability areas of interest for the FY26/27 period include modular cache solutions, safe transport and recovery arrangements, environmental protection against water and condensation, configurable visual and thermal signature management, and secure, low-power status monitoring. This RFI is not a formal tender competition or a commitment to future contracts, and responses will be used for information purposes only to assist in the development of future requirements. Interested parties must submit their responses using the Annex A questionnaire via email to [email hidden] by 12:00 on November 20, 2026. All submissions must be classified as OFFICIAL, and any proprietary information must be clearly marked. Respondents are required to provide details on their SME status, prior experience with the Ministry of Defence, and their familiarity with Social Value objectives.
