Army, Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) plans to acquire a Tactical Super High Frequency (SHF) Satellite Terminal (TSST) that operates in the Super High Frequency (SHF) range (C-, X-, Ku- and military Ka- bands) over commercial and milit ary satellites along with all its required elements of support. It is the Government's intention that this satellite terminal consist of an integrated assemblage of Non-Developmental Items, Commercial Off-the-Shelf and Government Furnished Equipment and t hat these items be adapted for use in a military tactical environment. This acquisition will include procurement of equipment and services needed to develop, build, integrate, retrofit enhancements, test, produce, package, transport, field, train and supp ort the terminal as well as services to manage the program. The mission of the TSST is to provide flexible, mobile, high capacity, extended range communications connectivity. The TSST will operate over military and commercial satellite space segments and will provide high capacity communications links to support v oice and data. The TSST may interface with other strategic networks via Standardized Tactical Entry Points (STEPs) or strategic assets. For commercial bands, the TSST will use standard commercial gateways or Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Quad -Band teleports and/or access the Defense Information System Network (DISN) via leased lines. User inputs will consist of both aggregate Transmission Groups (TGs) and single circuit inputs. This acquisition will be conducted using full and open competition and best value source selection procedures.
