AI Contract Overview
The 179th CW/MSC in Mansfield, Ohio is conducting a market survey to identify commercial vendors capable of supplying an ultra-compact, high-performance Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Platform Development Kit (PDK) for rapid prototyping of electronic warfare payloads. The requirement specifically seeks the Epiq Solutions X40 SDR Transceiver and PDK or a technically equivalent alternative that fits within an M.2 card form factor, supports an 18 GHz tuning range and 450 MHz instantaneous bandwidth, and includes a native 4R1T MIMO configuration. The PDK must deliver a ready-to-use development environment with a carrier board, pre-configured Linux OS, and FPGA source code based on the ZU11 architecture or equivalent, enabling immediate software development without custom hardware fabrication or reverse engineering. Interested parties must submit a capability statement of no more than five pages, clearly identifying whether they fall under Category A as an authorized reseller of Epiq Solutions products or Category B as a provider of an alternative equivalent solution. Category A responders must provide proof of authorized distribution rights along with their company details, CAGE code, UEI, and socio-economic status. Category B respondents must submit technical documentation proving compliance with all key specifications and detailed responses addressing integration readiness, including carrier board availability, FPGA software support, and a timeline for transitioning electronic warfare software onto their platform. This is a voluntary, non-binding market research initiative; responses will not be used to evaluate vendor qualifications or influence future solicitations, and no costs incurred in responding will be reimbursed. Submissions are due by June 14, 2026, and all information will be evaluated independently of any subsequent formal solicitation.
