What the buyer needs

AI summary

The Air Force Research Laboratory Technology Transition Office seeks information from domestic US-only businesses to understand domestic market capabilities and identify qualified vendors. The buyer needs technologies small enough for installation on Group 2-3 unmanned aircraft systems across two pathways: integrated Government-Off-The-Shelf or Non-Developmental Item radar electronic attack systems, and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf modular enablers and building blocks. Only domestic US-only businesses are eligible to respond. Interested parties must submit unclassified RFI abstract responses in Microsoft Word format, double-spaced with an 11-point or larger font, limited to 15 pages excluding Section A, by November 6, 2026, at 1700 EST. Respondents must address technical details and include estimated cost profiles or Rough Order of Magnitude pricing, including hardware cost per unit. Because this publication is a Request for Information issued solely for information and planning purposes, the buyer will not award a contract, pay for submitted information, evaluate proposals, or commit to a specific contract term or budget. Technical points of contact receive technical questions, while contracting points of contact handle contractual or business inquiries.
