JIATF 401 Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document outlines a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for the Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) 401 to procure advanced Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) capabilities. The CSO enables the Department of War (DoW) and Interagency Partners to rapidly acquire solutions through a streamlined process, aiming to enhance JIATF 401's ability to detect, track, identify, and defeat sUAS threats. Awards will be structured as fixed-price contracts or non-FAR agreements, including transaction agreements and cooperative agreements.

The CSO seeks solutions to enhance C-sUAS technology and strategies. Specific Areas of Interest (AoIs) are defined, including:

• AoI 26-001 (CMO-M): Mobile and on-the-move C-sUAS capabilities for border defense, special events, and interagency transfer.

• AoI 26-004 (Task Force East): Integrated layered defense solutions for fixed-site and mobile platforms (4 fixed-site kits, 6 mobile ISV kits).

• AoI 26-002 (CMO-FS): Fixed-site C-sUAS capabilities and support for the C-sUAS Marketplace.

• AoI 26-003 (CMO-C2): Solutions for commonality, interoperability, and integration in the C-UAS mission space, including C2 systems and enabling technologies.

• Awards may be made under FAR Part 12 (Commercial Procedures) or non-FAR authorities (e.g., 10 U.S.C. 4022, 31 U.S.C. 6305).

• Contracts will be fixed-price, potentially including fixed-price incentive fee.

• CSO is open through December 31, 2028, with potential for extension.

• The CSO utilizes a multi-phased approach: Phase 1 (Solution Brief), Phase 2 (Presentation, if applicable), and Phase 3 (Commercial Solution Proposal - CSP).

• Specific submission requirements and evaluation criteria are detailed for each phase, focusing on responsiveness, technical merit, innovation, affordability, and risk.

• AoI 26-004 has a submission deadline of COB March 6, 2026.

• Other AoIs accept white paper submissions until otherwise stated.

• Open to commercial products, commercial services, and non-developmental items.

• Includes provisions for Nontraditional Defense Contractors, Nonprofit Institutions, and Small Business Concerns.

• Foreign-Owned businesses may submit, potentially requiring necessary clearances.

• Companies must be registered in SAM and have a UEI prior to award.

• No funding is provided for proposal development costs.

• Contact information for JIATF 401 CSO POCs is provided.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "AoI 26-004 Attachment 001 - Task Force East Requirements", outlines the detailed specifications for various sensor and support systems required for Task Force East. It appears to be a technical requirements document that bidders must adhere to when proposing solutions.

The document details requirements across multiple zones (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4) and for specific capabilities:

• Active Radar: Requires 180-degree sector coverage, 5KM range, <50m dead zone, Ka-Ku or X band frequency, 120v power, and must withstand temperatures from -20 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit with severe rain and moderate hail resistance. It must provide sensor data to an IL5 network and be mountable on an 80ft tower, weighing <150lbs.
• Passive Radar: Similar specifications to Active Radar, but operates on non-library based detection.
• Defeat (EW/Cyber): Requires 360-degree coverage, 3KM range, <50m dead zone, non-library based defeat, 120v power, and similar environmental resistance. Must operate with IL5 level data, be mountable on an 80ft tower, weigh <150lbs, and specifically include Electronic Warfare (EW) and/or Cyber defeat capability.
• Transport: Requires Satellite/Cellular communication, 120v power, similar environmental resistance, IL5 data operation, mountable on an 80ft tower, weighing <150lbs. Must feature encrypted communications and low latency.
• Edge Data Mesh: Requires 110v power, similar environmental resistance, IL5 data operation, and mountability on an 80ft tower, weighing <150lbs. Must be operable on a vehicle in rough terrain.
• ISV X 6 (Infantry Squad Vehicle): Specifies 6 units of C-UAS Defeat Capability and Transport systems compatible with an Infantry Squad Vehicle, including EW/Cyber defeat capability and encrypted, low-latency communications.

Bidders must carefully review these specifications to ensure their proposed solutions meet all technical, environmental, security, and mounting requirements for each zone and capability. The document dictates the performance parameters, operational constraints, and physical characteristics of the required systems.
