REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) - Full Rate Production and Sustainment - MIBS program

The Department of the Navy’s SPAWAR Headquarters is issuing a Sources‑Sought (RFI) (NAVWAR_HQCA‑2026‑A‑017‑MIBS) to gather industry information on technical solutions—commercial off‑the‑shelf (COTS) or non‑developmental items (NDI)—that can support the Full‑Rate Production and Sustainment of the Maritime Integrated Broadcast Service (MIBS) program. The MIBS program delivers a resilient Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) data feed to the Warfighter via the Joint Tactical Terminal‑Maritime Evolved (JTT‑ME) system, providing over‑the‑air, near‑real‑time lethal threat intelligence, including global, national, and theater threat data and indications‑and‑warnings. Respondents are asked to submit details on existing capabilities, services, experience, and recommendations for delivering a partial or full solution that enhances the system’s flexibility for future broadcast waveforms and ensures a cyber‑secured IBS data feed. The RFI references the JTT‑ME’s Universal Computer, Network Switch, and its two operational NDI components (KSR‑4A and MX‑12605/USQ) and requests information on meeting current operational parameters. Responses are due by 17:00 hours on 30 March 2026; questions and answers are posted in the attachment section. Point of contact: Christopher Auen (christopher.d.auen.civ@us.navy.mil).
