- Description
- THIS RFI IS AMENDED TO EXTEND THE RESPONSE DATE TO JUNE 9, 2022 AND REVISE THE FOLLOWING EMAIL ADDRESSES AS FOLLOWS; SR-RFI@SOCOM.MIL MARK.APGAR@SOOM.MIL TO SRSE-RFI@SOCOM.MIL MARC.APGAR@SOCOM.MIL This Request for Information (RFI) is not a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, quotations or obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services, but for planning purposes only. �This RFI is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and to explore industry capabilities. �Your response to this RFI will be treated as information only. �No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of contractor submission to this announcement or the Government use of such information. �The information provided may be used by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) in developing its acquisition strategy, statement of work/statement of objectives, and performance specifications. �Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition sensitive information contained in their response. �The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request for information or to otherwise pay for the information submitted in response to this RFI. The purpose of this RFI is to gather Industry's input regarding a requirement supporting the USSOCOM, Special Operations Forces Acquisition Technology and Logistics (SOF AT&L), Program Executive Officer for Special Reconnaissance (PEO - SR), Program Manager for Integrated Sensor Systems (PM-ISS), Sub-Programs for Joint Threat Warning Systems (JTWS) and Silent Dagger. Responses to this RFI will be used by USSOCOM, SOF AT&L, PEO-SR, and PM-ISS to identify potential equipment for participation in the further evaluation of market information and/or ascertain potential market capacity to provide services consistent in scope and scale with those described in this notice. 1. Each offeror shall submit three documents in response to this RFI. �The first document shall contain a detailed technical description of the proposed current capabilities (TRL ? 6) and a description of how the offeror plans to demonstrate these capabilities. �The second document shall contain a description of other relevant capabilities (no TRL requirement) and a development roadmap showing the offeror�s planned product development. �The third document shall contain test results obtained in previous testing for the system intended for demonstration.� All other documents provided by the offeror shall be retained by the Government, but not reviewed. 2. Files shall be submitted to the Government in .docx, .pdf, xlsx or .pptx format using the following filenames: IW22_[vendor]_Demonstration - This is the file that describes the offeror�s current capabilities and desired demonstration scenario. IW22_[vendor]_Capabilities_Roadmap - This is the document that describes other capabilities not being demonstrated and the offeror�s developmental roadmap. IW22_[vendor]_Test results � This is the document that provides the Government with a test report or test results from previous test events where the system being proposed for demonstration at Industry Week 2022 has had each capability fully tested and the results documented. The Key Interest Areas: Radio direction finding antenna systems for use on vehicles and/or individuals while on the-move or on-the-halt against HF, VHF, UHF and SHF bands. Signal processing capability at the tactical edge (on the battlefield) for detection, classification, and channelization of a broad variety of signal types. Software for laptops and handhelds with these features: Process streams of digitized radio frequency (RF) and provide threat warnings. Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning capability algorithms to detect and classify signals. Graphical user interface that is suitable for outdoor, in-vehicle, and night-vision environments. Cyber scans do not reveal any high-risk vulnerabilities. Installation media available for purchase/license/evaluation on government provided IT devices. Conformant with open standards used elsewhere in the Department of Defense. Unmanned system (UxS) and/or unattended systems RF signal intelligence (SIGINT) sensors.�� Sensors that are compliant with the Modular Payload standard, which is available upon request, are preferred and are platform agnostics� Sensors operating in a communication limited/constrained environment.�� Sensors with hooks for Anti Tamper/ Data protection mechanisms. Sensors with leave behind/long endurance capabilities (hours & days)� Small form-factor, low profile antennas, higher gain, advanced materials High gain, high Sensitivity systems with low profile for increased standoff range up to radio horizon that can be steered via external inputs (GPS/heading, RF Power, external inputs)� Multichannel bi-directional antenna capability to be able to transmit and receive Open architecture Multiple polarization antennas to include horizontal, vertical, circular and slant 45/135 at low profiles.�� Small form factor (1/4 rack) capabilities to detect, cluster, classify and direction find�various non-communication signals to include solid state emitters.� Not just hardware, but software capabilities to include algorithms for detection, classification, and clustering of various non-communication RF signals.� �Focus on frequencies from 2 GHz and up� Capabilities that detect signals above 6 GHz� Signal processing at the tactical edge� AI/ML on small form factor to include android environment or battery-operated scenario Multiple sensor correlation (multiple sensors on single platform) Network obfuscation to disguise and control change across multiple system dimensions, reducing the advisories window of opportunity for probing attacks. Zero client at the tactical edge. Data fusion device that can provide core to edge and/or edge to edge data processing. Context-aware security to ensure devices are mapped to specific users based on criteria like device model, platform, and OS. If credentials are compromised, security and data remain intact PM-ISS will be hosting a demonstration during the week of 29 August to 2 September 2022 at a location to be determined.� PM-ISS will be providing a robust signal environment to test vendor capabilities advertised in the first article white paper submissions. �Based on the white paper responses, PM-ISS will determine which vendors qualify for the demonstration. �PM-ISS will notify all vendors via email by 2 July 2022 regarding their eligibility for the demonstration. �PM-ISS will not provide any funding for vendors to demonstrate their capability. Again, the vendor must be prepared to demonstrate any capability written about in the Demo white paper. The Government requests submissions no later than 09 June 2022. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME. �This request for information does not constitute a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the Government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred; and the Government will not be providing responses to any questions. Submission Instructions: Please note, telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged, and no feedback or evaluations will be provided to companies regarding their submissions. �Interested parties who consider themselves qualified to perform the above-listed services are invited to submit a response to this notice by 09 June 2022. �All responses and any questions under this RFI must be emailed to SRSE-RFI@socom.mil
