- Assured SATCOM Services In Single Theater (ASSIST) Industry Days Contracting Office Address Defense Information Systems Agency, Procurement and Logistics, DITCO-Scott, 2300 East Drive Bldg 3600, Scott AFB, IL, 62225-5406 Description: The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) will host an Assured SATCOM Services In Single Theatre (ASSIST) Capabilities Focused Industry Days on or about 25 June 2011. This event will take place in the Fort George G. Meade area of Maryland. Further event location details will be posted to FBO on or about 30 May 2011. Purpose: This unclassified conference is to enable Department of Defense (DOD) representatives to obtain information from industry experts on Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Service as well as to better understand how industry might best meet the Governments needs. A core set of objectives were identified and released on FedBizOpps on 15 March, 2011, as the Assured SATCOM Services In Single Theatre (ASSIST) RFI. Background: COMSATCOM is an essential communications component for in-theater operations. The USCENTCOM theater of operations incurs the greatest amount of COMSATCOM usage, using Ku-band service on more than 20 different commercial communications satellites, mostly through the use of base period leases (typically single-year) with additional option year leases. Leases range from small fractions of a Transponded Equivalent (TPE) to multiple TPEs with an aggregate sustained demand of over 5 GHz of service and more than 1,200 terminal links/accesses. With the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 President's Budget Request, the DoD is preparing for an FY12-FY14 investment to acquire long-term satellite communications services in the Ka- and Ku-bands, preferably on a single satellite, to meet COCOM theater demand, directing as many future users and migrating as many existing users as possible from Ku to Ka-band. The investment includes both the space segment and associated terminals. Initially, the DoD goal is to reduce costs for COMSATCOM capability in the CENTCOM theater of operations. In the future, DoD requires the flexibility of moving these services to other theaters of operation as needed. :Event Registration: INTERESTED PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER NO LATER THAN 3:00 PM CST, FRIDAY, 27 MAY, 2011.
