TCAS is not a requirement for RVSM operations.

However, in Europe at least, it is mandated for fixed-wing turbine engined aircraft having a maximum certificated take-off mass exceeding 5,700kgs, or a maximum approved passenger seating configuration of more than 19. Not much help in getting VLJs to carry it though.
