RFI - UMTE X Band Transmitter

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the AFLCMC PZZK office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, is conducting market research to identify industry sources capable of providing Unmanned Threat Emitter (UMTE) X Band Transmitter solutions. The primary objective of this sources sought notice, identified by solicitation number FA8210-26-RFI-UMTE, is to find technologies that can consolidate and replace several obsolete, single-function transmitter systems. The current inventory relies on multiple legacy ground-based threat emitter platforms designated as TK-1, TK-2, and TK-4.

This requirement is classified under NAICS code 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, and PSC 5840, Radar Equipment, Except Airborne. There is no set-aside designated for this notice. Technical specifications and historical data are detailed in three attachments, including the primary RFI document, a legacy transmitter reference, and a drawing marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

Responses to this market research are due by July 18, 2026. Interested parties must coordinate with the primary point of contact, Heather Ball, regarding access to the unclassified military technical data associated with the project drawings. Performance for this effort will take place at Hill Air Force Base.
