US Seeks Suppliers for Military Communications Equipment Destined for Morocco and Lebanon
Morocco is included in a new US Army procurement process for military communications equipment. The document lists, among other items, 125 vehicle intercom systems and several dozen radios.
The Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground published a notice on October 29, identified as W91CRB-SS-DATRON, to find suppliers able to deliver equipment from Datron World Communications. The process, part of the US Foreign Military Sales program (FMS), explicitly concerns Morocco and Lebanon. The official document published on SAM.gov provides a detailed list of the equipment sought.

The largest quantity is 125 VICM intercom systems for military vehicles. Each set includes a central communications unit, two devices for crew members and the cables needed to connect the radios. The notice also lists 34 vehicle radio sets using multiband equipment operating between 30 and 512 MHz.
The list also includes 34 125-watt high-frequency radio stations, two radio management sets, four configuration kits and 34 lithium-ion batteries. The quantities reflect the combined needs of the two countries. The US document does not specify how many items are destined for the Royal Armed Forces and how many are reserved for the Lebanese army.
Datron had already won a contract for Morocco
The US manufacturer is already familiar with the Moroccan market. On July 29, 2024, Datron World Communications won a contract worth $640,418 to supply communications equipment and accessories under the FMS MO-B-UUO program, intended for Morocco.
This earlier contract sheds light on the new procurement process, which concerns equipment from the same company. The US administration is now asking interested suppliers to specify what equipment they can deliver, its availability and an initial price estimate. Companies can respond for the full requirement or only for certain items.
Responses are due by November 30, 2026.
