Request to Attend NLT 15 July 2026 11:59 PM ET U.S. Companies Only Purpose SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM Program Executive Office Tactical Information Systems (PEO-TIS), will host an Industry Day to gain a better understanding of the current market and the technical capabilities of a Key Leader Radio (KLR), an Intra Team Radio (ITR), and a Team Networking Device (TND). This effort is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). Background USSOCOM has a critical need for reliable and secure communications for dismounted warfighters operating in a variety of challenging environments, including those that have denied, degraded, intermittent, and low-latency communication operational areas. Key Leader Radios (KLR), Intra Team Radios (ITR), and Team Networking Devices (TND) provide a multi-platform communications strategy enabling resilient, self-healing, and autonomous solutions for voice transmission, data transmission, and networking capabilities at the team and leadership levels. Objective This event is seeking information on products with priority given to capabilities with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 and above, that could potentially fulfill USSOCOM's operational requirements. PEO-TIS is interested in design and capability that provides an open architecture design capable of third-party waveform porting without Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) engagement, as well as products compliant with FIPS 140-3 Level 3. Why You Should Participate USSOCOM seeks to enter into non-FAR or FAR-based agreements with Industry, Academic, and National Lab partners whose solutions are favorably evaluated by PEO-TIS Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). As such, the follow-on Assessment Event (AE) is considered competitive and solutions will be evaluated independently of one another primarily for technical merit. This serves dually as notification of the intent to research the feasibility of an agreement under 10 U.S. Code, Section 4022 and/or Section 4022(f), and as notice of pre-solicitation activities IAW FAR 5.204. Event Timeline Phase 1 - 24 June 2026 to 15 July 2026 Requests to Attend the Warfighter Radio Industry Day Open: SOFWERX will host an Industry Day focused on KLR, ITR, and TNDneeds. During this event, Warfighters will interact with potential solution offerers and further communicate operational needs and desirements. This event is also an opportunity for attendees to meet and form partnerships that may provide a more comprehensive capability. Interested respondents who could potentially provide solutions that meet the needs of USSOCOM are encouraged to request to attend the Industry Day.
