The Department of Defense’s Technology Application Program Office (TAPO) is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of providing continued software and engineering development support for the Advanced Threat Warning System (ATWS) and the Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) systems, which are currently fielded by Northrop Grumman. This is a sources‑sought notice, not a solicitation for contract award; responses are voluntary and will be used for acquisition planning. Interested firms must submit a 10‑page statement of interest by 21 September 2026, detailing company profile, relevant experience, and how they would perform the work without access to Northrop Grumman’s proprietary data. • Scope: Ongoing software and engineering development, maintenance, and support for ATWS and CIRCM defense systems. • Requirement: Demonstrated capability in defense‑related software/engineering, security clearance considerations, and ability to operate without the predecessor’s technical data. • Submission: Email response to Chase Brasher, include company profile, DUNS, CAGE, size status, and two points of contact. • Evaluation: Information will inform future competition strategy; no contract award is guaranteed from this notice.
