PROGRAM BACKGROUND


CECOM SAMD administers and manages FMS cases including requirements for Partner Nation (PN). CECOM SAMD’s goal is to satisfy customer country system functional and performance requirements so that allies, and nations partnered with the US in the fight against terrorism, can succeed in their operational missions.


Radio systems and communications equipment serve a vital role in support of these operational missions by providing commanders and soldiers the means by which to issue operational orders, exchange administrative and tactical data, and to coordinate operational movements and actions. In order to ensure field interoperability of all elements of a communications network, and to minimize training, maintenance, and logistics support costs of these networks, over time nations acquire fleets of tactical radio systems with compatible physical, functional, and technical characteristics. Allies and partner nations require these radio fleets to be supported with compatible spares and authorized maintenance and require newly formed units and communications networks to possess the same compatible characteristics. This Sources Sought notice seeks radios fully compatible with currently fielded L3Harris radio systems.


REQUIRED CAPABILITIES


The purpose of this market research/sources sought is to identify interested sources that can provide/manufacture and deliver the following radio systems, communications equipment, and associated services:



  1. FALCON series for ground and airborne applications - HF (2-30 MHz,) VHF (30-300 MHz,) UHF (300-3,000 MHz,) and microwave radio systems. The systems must be physically, functionally and technically compatible with the following characteristics:

  • Include compatible ground-based radio receiver/transmitters that can be configured as handheld (up to 10W,) man-packable (up to 25W,) vehicular and vehicular handheld (i.e. jerk and run up to 50W) systems.
  • Include compatible airborne radio receiver/transmitter systems.
  • Include the following voice modes: Simplex, Half-Duplex, or Full Duplex; AM/FM analog voice, digital voice (MIL-STD-188-113 CVSD, FSK MELP, FSK CVSD).
  • Include the following data modes: MIL-STD-188-110C, FSK/TCM Data.
  • Include the following waveforms: Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) Electronic Counter-Counter Measures (ECCM,) Havequick ECCM, Quicklook ECCM, ARROW, and SATURN.
  • Include the following encryption: AES, Citadel©, Sierra II©.  Note: The tactical ground and airborne radio system families shall be capable of providing commercial and current type 1 and/or planned crypto-modernization security.
  • Include the following interfaces: 6-pin audio, USB, Ethernet, IP, RS-232.
  • Include environmental characteristics of MIL-STD-810G for shock, vibration, sand/dust, humidity, salt fog/rain; immersion to at least 1 meter; operating temperature -40°F - 70°F.
  • Include options for internal GPS, power amplifier/adapter, vehicular and base station adapter/mount, antenna coupler.
  • Include ancillary items such as handsets, headsets, external antennas, and data interface cables.

The Government does not have and thus cannot provide any Technical Data related to the proprietary L3Harris radio products or waveforms/networks. FMS cases will also require training and field services that are authorized to access and maintain features listed in the above characteristics. It is anticipated that Delivery Orders (DOs) issued under a planned Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract will require more than 16,300 handheld, 10,900 man-packable, 10,900 vehicular, and 5,500 vehicular hand-held radio system configurations, as well as 930 training and 260 field support services events during the four (4) year and six (6) month IDIQ contract period of performance. DOs will require initial deliveries within two-hundred and ten (210) days After Receipt of Order (ARO) or after contract award. A minimum twelve (12) month warranty shall be provided. Non- Developmental Item. The tactical HF, VHF, UHF, and Multiband radios should be non-developmental items. The Government desires systems with minimal maintenance and inspection requirements at the organizational level. Systems should also be easily repairable for deployed units.


Requested responses may include Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price and availability (P&A) information for the radio systems, communications equipment, and associated services described above.  Replies addressing only some of the equipment and services or incomplete requirements list above will be considered not fully responsive.

Key technical requirements include high availability of at least 0.9998, a 15-year service life, a mean time to repair of 30 minutes or less, and adherence to military standards such as MIL-STD-188-164C, MIL-STD-461G, and MIL-STD-810H. The acquisition process is conducted under the Army Open Solicitation (AOS) and follows a three-step selection method: the submission of solution briefs by December 10, 2026, followed by pitch sessions and technical demonstrations at Fort Belvoir, and concluding with a formal proposal submission. The primary deliverable is a Full-Scale Engineering Development DIFS first article, with subsequent options for production units. The government intends to award one FAR Part 12 commercial contract, with the possibility of additional Other Transaction Authority awards, with an estimated award timeline in the first quarter of 2027.
