Next Generation Tactical Radio (NGTR)
Solicitation # N00421-27-RFPREQ-TPM209-0199
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the Next Generation Tactical Radio (NGTR), a modular Software Defined Radio (SDR) intended for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. The NGTR will serve as a form, fit, and function backwards-compatible replacement for the ARC-210 Generation 5 and 6 radios. Key technical requirements include support for voice and data waveforms in the VHF and UHF bands with operational capabilities up to 6 GHz, including specific support for SINCGARS, MUOS, and SATURN. The system must feature a small form factor weighing less than 12.2 pounds, a conduction-cooled unit with a modular RF Front End, and a minimum Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 7500 hours. Security and architecture are central to the requirement, necessitating a modular High Assurance Device (HAD) to meet NSA cryptographic and Security Evaluation Requirements Document (SERD) standards, as well as compliance with Zero Trust architecture and Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls. The system must adhere to NSTISSAM TEMPEST 1-92 and CNSSAM standards and utilize standards-based modularity such as OpenVPX and VNX+. Prospective contractors must demonstrate expertise in agile development, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and proactive obsolescence management. The anticipated timeline includes an Industry Day in the first quarter of FY27, a final RFP release in the fourth quarter of FY27, a contract award in the second quarter of FY28, and target fleet delivery by mid-2034.

AI Contract Overview

Show more

The U.S. Air Force Test Center (AFTC/PZZF) at Edwards Air Force Base is pursuing a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) to procure a comprehensive tactical radio system and associated accessories from L3 Harris Technologies, Inc. The acquisition centers on the AN/PRC-167 Multi-band Radio System and a full suite of supporting components including RF amplifiers, power supplies, specialized cabling, vehicle mount assemblies, transit cases, and speakers—all required for secure, high-data-rate communications in classified environments. The NAICS code 334220 applies with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and the government has determined L3 Harris as the only responsible source due to its exclusive ownership of proprietary ASICs, FPGAs, and firmware critical to interoperability, NSA certification, and compliance with ICD 705, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461. This determination precludes competitive bidding, and no solicitation documents exist beyond this pre-solicitation notice. Vendors seeking to challenge or provide alternative solutions must submit a detailed technical package by 3:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on May 28, 2026, via email to the designated contracting officer, including evidence of capability, commercial terms, warranty provisions, and delivery arrangements. The contract will be administered at Edwards AFB, with inspection and acceptance performed by the government, and no payment, invoicing, or accounting details are provided. The Department of the Air Force’s ombudsman is available for concerns regarding this acquisition process, and while no contract clauses, evaluation factors, or formal packaging standards are specified, the system must meet stringent operational and environmental requirements to support C4ISR missions across joint and coalition forces.

URC-300 VHF/UHF Transceiver Assembly and Remote Control Unit (RCU)
Solicitation # ACQ-26-H096
The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Test Center (AFTC/PZZF) at Edwards AFB, intends to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to ACG Systems, Inc. under solicitation ACQ-26-H096. This procurement is for one URC-300 VHF/UHF Transceiver Assembly and ten associated auxiliary components, including a Remote Control Unit (RCU), mounting brackets, antennas, and cabling. The equipment is required to expand the capabilities of the Mobile Telemetry Van supporting the B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP) and must integrate with the proprietary CM-350 V2 control protocols. The government has determined that ACG Systems, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the requirement because they are the original equipment manufacturer and the hardware must meet mandatory military TEMPEST and EMI shielding standards for classified and unclassified operations. Utilizing non-ACG hardware would result in significant duplication of costs and cause a critical six-to-nine-month delay due to mandatory recertification, which would threaten B-52 engine replacement timelines and operational readiness targets. The award is based on the vendor's unique technical compatibility and the determination that the pricing is fair and reasonable based on historical data from previous contract FA9302-22-F-G596.
