REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: JOINT MODULAR EMITTER INTERFACE STANDARDS PROJECT

Request for Information: Joint Modular Emitter Interface Standards (JMEIS) Project 

Department of Defense (DoD) OSD (P&R, R&E, CIO)

Description:

The Department of Defense (DoD) is undertaking a critical initiative known as the Joint Modular Emitter Interface Standards (JMEIS) project. The primary objective of JMEIS is to significantly enhance combat readiness capabilities across the Joint Force by enabling the rapid development, deployment and sustainment of a greater number and variety of lower-cost threat emitters. The primary benefactors of JMEIS will be acquisition agencies, major training centers, and home station training ranges. This effort aims to foster a more representative fit for purpose operational environment in preparation against emerging complex threats and peer adversaries. Information gathered through this RFI will shape JMEIS technical direction, identify industry best practices and inform potential future solicitations. This RFI is issued solely for market research and planning. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The DoD is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Vendors are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. DoD intends to use Prize Challenges and the 4023 Provision of NSC OTA for proposals going forward, starting in FY26.

The DoD invites industry to submit their thoughts, ideas and recommendations on a standards-based approach to threat emitters to accelerate the fielding of threat emitters, and on the current state of technology and capabilities that exist to meet JMEIS demand signal. This RFI is listed on the solicitations page of the members-only website for the National Spectrum Consortium (https://members.nationalspectrumconsortium.org/sign-in?redirectURL=%2Fexample). Reponses may be uploaded via the submission link on that page or sent by email to RFI@spectrumconsortium.org by August 22, 2025.
