Overview

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has issued this Request for Proposal (RFP) for the supply of Reconnaissance and Surveillance capabilities as part of Tranche Two of the Network Enabled Army (NEA) Programme. The integrated NEA Programme team is responsible for development of the networked reconnaissance and surveillance solution and procurement of the deliverables and NZDF is the end user of the equipment and services.

The NEA Programme is a long-term transformational programme which was established to provide the NZDF land forces with deployable networked command, control, communications and computers (C4) and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, and is to be delivered across four tranches. The reconnaissance and surveillance (R&S) capabilities will build on the network platforms and capabilities being delivered by Tranche One of the programme.

Defence is seeking one or more Respondents who have (and can demonstrate) the capacity and capability to deliver network capable R&S capabilities and provide through life support (TLS), including maintenance, technical and operational support, planned upgrades and training. We are seeking solutions that are proven and interoperable with R&S capabilities used by our international partners, and military-off-the-shelf (MOTS) equipment not bespoke designs.

For the purposes of this RFP, the R&S capabilities being sought have been divided into four equipment packages (each referred to as a "Package"), and Respondents are invited to respond to one or more Packages. Due to the wide scope of the R&S capabilities required, it is anticipated that this RFP will result in multiple successful respondents.

If you have any questions, please email RSRFP@defence.govt.nz prior to the Q&A close off at 10am on 12th July 2022.
