FREE SPACE OPTICS TACTICAL SYSTEMS

The Marine Corps Systems Command (PM TCE) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) – M67854-2-I-2033 – as a market research tool to assess the availability and adequacy of Free Space Optics (FSO) solutions for tactical communications systems. Responses are requested to inform potential future Request for Proposals/Quotations or Request for White Papers and should include technical capabilities (wavelengths, data rates, SWaP, TRL/MRL), operational considerations (integration with C4I systems, resilience in degraded environments, transportability), and business information (ROM pricing, contract vehicles, lead times). This RFI closes on October 3, 2025, at 11:59 pm local time, Quantico, Virginia. The Government is particularly interested in understanding FSO as both a stand-alone solution and as part of a hybrid transport network and encourages vendors to provide performance data in various environments, including degraded visual conditions. Note that the Government will not reimburse for any information provided and responses are subject to change; this RFI does not constitute a commitment to solicit or award a contract. Questions are due by September 12, 2025.
