REQUEST FOR WHITE PAPER ORGANIC PRECISION FIRES - MEDIUM (OPF-M) SYSTEM

The United States Marine Corps is issuing a Sources‑Sought Request for White Paper (RFW M67854‑26‑I‑1047) to gather market information on an Organic Precision Fires – Medium (OPF‑M) loitering‑munitions system. Respondents must submit a 15‑page white paper that (1) details the baseline technical solution—including air vehicle, launcher, ground control station, datalink, encryption, anti‑jamming, GPS‑denied navigation, EO/IR sensors, explosive weight, endurance, ESAD, battery, set‑up/launch time, transport, and man‑in‑the‑loop capabilities such as in‑flight retask, operator abort, and pre‑launch loss‑of‑link handling; (2) provides current Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) for the system and key subcomponents, along with supply‑chain and partner information; (3) describes test‑evaluation capability and any completed performance or survivability testing; (4) outlines a product‑improvement roadmap and response to the four Capability Growth Areas (payload diversification, contested‑environment navigation, target‑identification/ATR, and communication resiliency); and (5) presents a programmatic production plan with company data (size/type, UEI/DUNS/CAGE, NAICS, historic production quantities, lead time for 50 All‑Up‑Rounds, 10 GCS kits, and 10 ancillary items, and a high‑level schedule from a hypothetical OTA award to prototype delivery). The Government anticipates a prototype Other‑Transaction Authority (OTA) award in FY 26 Q4, with demonstrations in FY 27 and potential production awards beginning FY 28 after verification of a minimum viable product. The RFW is strictly for market research; it does not constitute a solicitation, nor does it create any payment obligation. Submissions must be unclassified, address the Baseline System Capabilities and Programmatic Production Plan as outlined, and demonstrate alignment with the Marine Corps’ need for an organic, beyond‑line‑of‑sight, precision‑strike capability that minimizes training burden through reusable inert rounds and simulation‑mode GCS training.
