- Consolidated Product List Past Performance Worksheet Non Disclosure Agreement Pricing Worksheet Initial DD254 Initial QASP RFP_HC104719R0010 This effort is required to support the spectrum management and coordination of the 2025-2110 MHz band as a result of the third Advanced Wireless Services (AWS-3) auction. In March 2014, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in collaboration with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), developed rules for the auction and reallocation of the 1695-1710 MHz and 1755-1780 MHz radio frequency bands, which at that time were allocated exclusively for Federal use. Between November 2014 and January 2015, the FCC conducted the third Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) auction ("Auction 97") to establish new AWS licenses in the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz bands. For reference, AWS-3 Transition information can be found at the following website: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/category/aws-3-transition. The Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO) is responsible for providing common Department of Defense (DoD) services including the overarching capabilities and analyses required to implement the DoD's Transition Plans. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) - DSO Transition Plan includes six tasks: •DISA1: 1755-1780 MHz Early Entry Portal •DISA2: 1755-1780 MHz Federal Spectrum Management System Portal •DISA3: 1780-1850 MHz Compression and Optimization Tool •DISA4: 2025-2110 MHz Spectrum Management/Coordination System •DISA5: 1755-1780 MHz Spectrum Sharing Test & Demonstration Program •DISA6: DoD Spectrum Relocation Management Team (DSRMT) The DSRMT oversees DSO activities being conducted under the DISA Transition Plan, including oversight of contracted work. Under the DISA4 activities, and as part of the AWS-3 transition, selected DoD system operations are targeted to gain access to the 2025-2110 MHz band and operate on a co-primary status on a non-interference basis with incumbent Television Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS), the Cable Television Relay Service (CARS), and the Local Television Transmission Service (LTTS) operations. The SMCS will be used to facilitate spectrum sharing between the incumbent licensees' operations, and the transitioning DoD system operations. This effort will be a new start; however, the DSO has been conducting DISA4 planning with various stakeholders, to include the BAS and the office of the DoD Chief Information Officer. DSO has conducted multiple transition planning exercises and has enlisted contractor support for these planning activities under the T4140 - "2025-2110MHz Coordination and Collaboration Support" contract. The primary objective of the SMCS Development, is to provide an integrated system-of-systems that automates an end-to-end workflow for coordinating spectrum access between DoD system operations and incumbent Television BAS, CARS, and LTTS operations (hereafter referred to as Electronic News Gathering (ENG) operations). The contractor shall apply an advanced working knowledge of spectrum engineering, spectrum requirements, data management, and business process workflow development to manage SMCS development, deployment, operations, maintenance, and continual enhancement services. The contractor shall manage the software development lifecycle, delivery and deployment of the initial SMCS capability, and continually enhance the SMCS. It is envisioned that the spectrum sharing of the 2025-2110 MHz will include a wide range of sharing scenarios, including cases where DoD access has been pre-coordinated with the ENG community, and cases where active coordination between DoD and the ENG community will be required. SMCS shall be able to facilitate these various sharing scenarios. The contractor shall implement industry standard agile development methodologies to develop and deliver the initial operational release of the SMCS, continuing to develop and deliver additional features and automation. Questions should be addressed to franky.m.awuvey.civ@mail.mil and jhoonku.jee.civ@mail.mil. Please provide any questions, in writing, no later than November 12, 2019 at 2:00pm (EST). The Government reserves the right to not answer questions submitted after this time. Proposals are due no later than December 2, 2019 at 2:00pm (EST) and should be submitted to the following email addresses: franky.m.awuvey.civ@mail.mil and jhoonku.jee.civ@mail.mil.
