Headquarters Supreme Allied Command Transformation (HQ SACT) is conducting market research through this special notice to support an analysis of alternatives for the Allied Future Surveillance and Control (AFSC) Enhanced Tactical Connectivity (eTacC) Capability. This effort, classified under NAICS 541519 Other Computer Related Services, focuses on identifying communication, networking, and data transformation solutions to improve connectivity at the tactical edge across various legacy and emergent bearers, waveforms, and protocols. The eTacC capability is envisioned as a node serving as a relay, gateway, and translator to bridge heterogeneous tactical networks and facilitate Multi-Domain Operations.
The Bureau of Industry and Security issued this request under solicitation number RFI-ACT-SACT-04-2026, with a final response deadline of May 29, 2028. Clarification questions are due by 9:00 a.m. ET on May 11, 2026, and the primary place of performance is Norfolk, VA. This notice is intended to involve industry in the examination of potential alternatives for the eTacC Capability Program Plan rather than serving as a formal procurement or a commitment to issue a future request for proposal. Associated documentation includes two attachments published on April 13, 2026: a questionnaire in Excel format and a PDF document detailing the request.
Information gathered may be shared with contracted third parties to support NATO common-funded capability development. Although the notice is listed via the Bureau of Industry and Security, all submissions and inquiries must be directed to the HQ SACT points of contact via email, as the Department of Commerce will not accept responses. Participation in this request for information is voluntary, and any costs associated with responding are the sole responsibility of the responding party.
