Once transitioned, the intent is for SATR DSA development to be performed on the SwISS IDIQ contract, utilizing the Joint Tactical Networking Center (JTNC) Information Repository (IR). SATR DSA allows the U.S. Army to be spectrally efficient while sharing spectrum with commercial entities, ensuring the continued access to spectrum that has been auctioned off (AWS-3) by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).The purpose of the RFI is to 1) identify vendors capable of providing the aforementioned services and 2) determine if a vendor on-ramp activity is needed for the SwISS IDIQ contract.The Government requests a response in accordance with the below submission requirements on the following questions to encourage competition and exchanges of information: Please provide any questions, comments, and feedback.

If so, please describe. Include the product(s) name and specific certifications including the certifying organization (i.e. National Security Agency, National Institute of Standards and Technology, etc.) Does your company have Spectrum Access software development experience? Please include any examples that might be relevant to the SATR DSA effort. Experience may but does not need to be limited to current Army Tactical Radios or Army developmental efforts. Please provide any additional information and/or list and describe any additional product lines or experience that may be relevant to the SATR DSA effort. Would your company propose on potential future requirements relating to the SATR DSA effort? Yes or No? If your company does not plan to propose, please explain.

What Waveform Application(s) (WFA) and versions does the intended WDE support? To what level is your WDE integrated with the Joint Enterprise Network Manager (JENM) and/or Atom and Black Sails?
