US-FED-00000394206 - SOURCES SOUGHT FOR RADIO SYSTEMS, COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT, AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES FOR FOREIGN MILITARY SALES SEPTEMBER 2026 - Deadline September 17,2026

SOURCES SOUGHT FOR RADIO SYSTEMS, COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT, AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES FOR FOREIGN MILITARY SALES (FMS)DESCRIPTIONSOURCES SOUGHT FOR radio systems, communications equipment, and associated services for Foreign Military Sales (FMS)INTRODUCTIONThe U.S. Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC–APG) on behalf of the Communications–Electronics Command Security Assistance Management directorate (CECOM SAMD) is issuing this Sources Sought notice as a means of conducting market research to identify potential sources having an interest in, industry technologies available to support/fulfill requirements for radio systems, communications equipment, and associated services to support FMS requirements.The result of this source sought/market survey will contribute to determining the method of procurement, if a requirement materializes. Based on the responses to this source sought notice/market survey, this requirement may be set–aside for small businesses (in full or in part) or procured through full and open competition. Multiple awards may be made. All small business set–aside categories will be considered. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged, and no feedback or evaluations will be provided to companies regarding submissions. The U.S. Government requests that interested parties submit a brief description of your company, your company`s solution, and your ability to meet potential system requirements.DISCLAIMERThis sources sought is for informational purposes only. this is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) to be submitted. It does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the government. Responses in any form are not offers and the government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. No funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought/market research is strictly voluntary.PROGRAM BACKGROUNDCECOM 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 CAPABILITIESThe 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: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.
