The proposed contract action is to provide managed network services for global Ku and Ka band service at varying data rates, including space segment, teleport, terrestrial connectivity, network management, frequency clearances, and Network Operations Centers (NOC) services. The Army airborne communications laboratory terminal utilizes a ViaSat KuKarray antenna and ViaSat modem which utilizes proprietary communications waveforms that operate only with ViaSat Exede subscription services.

PM WIN-T must test the Exede ViaSat service to see if it meets commercial and government requirements before this installation. These requirements will be met on the contract by using a service subscription of Exede best available service provided to the laboratory terminal. A request for a written proposal is expected to be issued November 10, 2015. Anticipated award date is December 18, 2015. The resultant firm-fixed price contract will be for a 1-year base period and four 12-month option periods.

The contractor shall also immediately report faults, incidents, and outages. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304 (c) (1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Companies that can provide this service must indicate their interest in writing within 7 business days of this advertisement. All responsible sources will be considered in evaluating the determination to issue a sole-source contract. Quotations or proposals received in response to this notice cannot be accepted since this synopsis cannot be considered a request for quote or a request for proposal.
