Fit reasons
- NAICS alignment with historical contract wins in similar service areas.
- Scope strongly matches core technical capabilities and delivery model.
Risks
- Past performance thresholds may require one additional teaming partner.
- Potential clarification needed on staffing minimums before bid/no-bid.
Next steps
Validate eligibility requirements, assign capture owner, and schedule partner outreach to confirm teaming strategy before submission planning.
Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 96th Test Systems Squadron (TSSQ), is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for Multi-Object Tracking Radar Systems (MOTRS). This RFI seeks capabilities statements from both small and large businesses to provide procurement and sustainment support for advanced tracking radar systems at the Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range (EGTTR) in Goulds, FL. Responses are due by March 30, 2026.
Purpose & Background
The EGTTR currently relies on legacy single-object tracking radars. This RFI aims to identify current Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) solutions for accurate time/space/position information (TSPI) systems capable of supporting multiple simultaneous cooperative and non-cooperative airborne targets. The goal is to modernize the Eglin Test and Training Complex (ETTC) and its test missions.
Scope of Interest & Technical Requirements
The Air Force is interested in systems that can provide accurate TSPI tracks for all airborne test platforms, items, and targets utilizing the ETTC test space. Key requirements include:
- Real-time tracking of multiple airborne C-Band radar beacons.
- Ability to track up to 20 simultaneous high-speed targets without accuracy degradation.
- Tracking targets at radial velocities up to Mach 10 and angular rates up to 30 degrees per second.
- Capable of both skin tracking and C-band tracking, with beacon tracking range exceeding 500 nautical miles.
- Operating frequency: 5.4 – 5.9 GHz.
- Trailer-mounted design suitable for long-distance highway transportation.
- Remote control via digital network and an operating system like Windows 11 or equivalent.
- Crucially, respondents must demonstrate direct applied knowledge of or ability to obtain ready access to OEM proprietary engineering and technical information, as this information is not owned by the government.
Information Requested
Interested sources must provide demonstrated capacity and capability, including field of view and verifiable past performance history, for:
- Procurement, provision, and installation of materials, spare parts, and consumables.
- Design, testing, modification, and installation of system components and improvements.
- Repair, refurbishment, and maintenance to manufacturer specifications.
- Operation, calibration, alignment, tuning, and performance verification.
- Procurement of new Instrumentation Radar systems.
Submission Details
Responses should be submitted as a white paper (up to 8 pages) or a PowerPoint presentation (up to 16 slides). Submissions are due no later than March 30, 2026, and should be sent electronically to Mr. Anthony Aldrich at 96TSSQ.RNXT.RNXTRFI@US.AF.MIL. Administrative information (company name, CAGE, POC, business size, foreign status) should be included in Section 1 of the response. Proprietary information must be clearly marked.
Important Notes
This is a Request for Information (RFI) only for market research purposes, in accordance with FAR Part 10. It is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an obligation for the Government to acquire any products or services. Responses are not offers and will not be reimbursed. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP.
