This notice is being used for the purpose of market research, market interest, availability, and adequacy of potential business sources. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Navy is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party�s expense. Background Tactical Mobile (TacMobile) is a Navy Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence (C4I) system that supports the Maritime Patrol Reconnaissance Force�s (MPRF) P-8A Poseidon aircraft through Command and Control (C2) of MPRF assets, mission planning, and post-mission data dissemination. The P-8A aircraft is undergoing a major upgrade via the Increment 3 Block 2 configuration, which provides Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to the MPRF and Intelligence Community (IC) at Higher-Than-Secret (HTS) classification levels. The TacMobile system is likewise rapidly undergoing a major upgrade via the Increment 3 system, which will operate within multiple classification enclaves. TacMobile Increment 3 is an ACAT II development program under Program Executive Office C4I (PEO(C4I)) oversight. TacMobile Increment 3 is in the Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase with the objective of completing Developmental/Integrated Test in FY27. The Government expects to select a single Prime to rapidly design, develop, integrate, and test two (2) Engineering Development Model (EDM) systems for the TacMobile Increment 3 HTS enclave. Anticipated Period of Performance (PoP) is FY26-FY28. Services will be performed at contractor facilities, NAS Patuxent River, MD; NIWC LANT, Charleston, SC; and NAS Jacksonville, FL. Please see the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW) which details the types of tasks and deliverables that contractors will be required to perform under the contract. Information Assurance Responders to this request shall ensure that Contractor Owned and Operated Networks and Information Systems that process, store, display, manipulate, and/or transmit TacMobile controlled unclassified information shall comply with the protective measures in accordance with DoD Instruction 8582.01, 9 December 2019, Security of Non-DoD Information Systems Processing Unclassified Nonpublic DoD Information.
