The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of providing technical engineering support for developing GPS Common Component software updates that interface with the Joint Modernized Handheld device, which will be on loan via a bailment agreement. All software updates must be exportable to support partner nations, and interested parties may need to enter into Associate Contractor Agreements with third-party integrators. This is a Request for Information only and does not commit the government to issuing a future solicitation; responses are voluntary, and all costs associated with responding are the vendor's responsibility. Interested companies must submit a white paper limited to 20 pages, include company details and business size under NAICS 541330 (small business size standard of $25.5M), and demonstrate relevant experience. Access to controlled attachments requires completing a documentation request and disclaimer form, along with a DD Form 2345 through the Joint Certification Program.
