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.
