  Let $\Omega$ be a collection of disjoint dyadic squares $\omega$, let
$\pi_\omega$ denote the non-smooth bilinear projection onto $\omega$ \[
\pi_\omega (f,g)(x):=\int\int \mathbf{1}_{\omega}(\xi,\eta) \widehat{f}(\xi)
\widehat{g}(\eta) e^{2\pi i (\xi + \eta) x} d \xi d\eta \] and let $r>2$. We
show that the bilinear Rubio de Francia operator \[ \Big(\sum_{\omega\in\Omega}
|\pi_{\omega} (f,g)|^r \Big)^{1/r} \] is $L^p \times L^q \rightarrow L^s$
bounded with constant independent of $\Omega$ whenever $1/p + 1/q = 1/s$,
$r'<p,q<r$, $r'/2 < s < r/2$.
