- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOUCE PROCUREMENT FOR a Space Common Data Link (CDL) Technologies Development program. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/IFGD) intends to initiate award discussions with the intent to make an award, based upon other than full-and-open competition, in accordance with 10 USC 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(ii), to L3 Communications ? West, Salt Lake City, Utah. The overall objective of this acquisition is to develop technologies for the qualification of Common Data Link (CDL) functions and hardware for use in space satellites operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This effort shall include the test/design verification of a 274 Mbps Return Link brassboard developed under a previous contract, the evaluation of the implementation of additional CDL waveforms, the evaluation of data interface requirements, the evaluation of shifting the design from a completed X-band design to Ku-band, completion of a COMSEC design and build of a brassboard, the integration and test of the Return Link brassboard and the COMSEC brassboard, and a laboratory demonstration of the integrated Return Link/COMSEC brassboard. This space CDL design shall be based on proven qualified CDL data link hardware designs. This proposed AFRL/IF effort will address the design and development of technologies using the CDL waveforms for use in LEO space orbits which can reliably transfer high value information from space platforms in LEO orbits to airborne and/or ground stations. Interested parties must identify their interest electronically to the Contracting Officer at the following address: kimberly.atkinson@wpafb.af.mil no later than 11 April 2007. Address contractual questions to Kimberly Atkinson, Contracting Officer, (937) 255-5380; direct technical questions to Jim Foshee, Program Manager, (937) 255-4947 x3404. Responses received after this due date will be considered non-responsive and will not be considered. Other business opportunities for the Air Force Research Laboratory are available at www.fedbizopps.gov. Direct questions to the Contracting point of contact identified in the announcement
