The Navy seeks an Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Military Satellite Communications
(MILSATCOM) Antenna System that can be used with the existing AN/WSC-3(V), Digital
Modular Radio (DMR), ARC-210, Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), or similar radio sets
for SATCOM communications at both legacy UHF and Mobile User Objective System
(MUOS) frequencies. This Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) falls under the authority
of 10 U.S.C. ยง3458 and is a multi-phased competitive solicitation designed to encourage
non-traditional contractors to work with the Department of Defense (DoD) by simplifying
the procurement process for innovative technologies. Though traditional defense
contractors are welcome to respond to this CSO announcement, the Government is
particularly interested in hearing from: non-traditional Defense contractors, small
business entities, non-profit organizations, governmental institutions, and academia. This
CSO seeks innovative, commercial technologies that propose new or existing solutions or
potential new capabilities that fulfill the UHF SATCOM Antenna requirements. The
Government is very interested in leveraging existing commercial technologies and
products that can be adapted to the unique Navy shipboard environment; this may
include but is not limited to utilizing existing UHF antenna designs such as those that
may be prevalent in other maritime applications such as commercial shipping, fishing and
the cruise ship industry. This CSO may result in the award of prototype projects, which
include not only commercially-available technologies fueled by commercial or strategic
investment, but also concept demonstrations, pilots, and agile development activities
that can incrementally improve commercial technologies, existing government-owned
capabilities, or concepts. The Government reserves the right to award a FAR Part 12
contract, FAR Part 13 purchase order and/or Other Transaction (OT) (OTs are not FAR
based contracts and do not follow the FAR) for any purpose, to include prototyping,
production, and deployment resulting from this CSO. See official CSO announcement and
reference specification attachments, below, for instruction on responses. This
announcement is not part of a broader CSO umbrella action and is limited to the problem
statement identified in the requirement document referenced herein.
